I’ve always been a big fan of pesto. It’s become one of my favorite ways to dress up salads recently as well. We have a small (3 plants) herb garden on our balcony and when I returned home from my hunting trip, I found that the basil plant had grown quite a bit so what…
Oven Roasted Crispy Salmon Skins
I love salmon. In my house, we tend to eat salmon fillet on average of about once a week. Most of the time, I leave the skin on during the cooking process. Sometimes however, I will cook it with the skin removed. Since there’s some good stuff in the skins, I feel it’s a waste…
Home Cured Lamb Belly Tacos
As I’m sure it’s been made clear in this blog so far, I’m a huge fan of bacon. I even made shirts about it. I eat it more often than most I would say. I do try to keep it as clean a source as possible i.e. pastured, humanely raised, fed a species appropriate diet,…
Smokey Grilled Sirloin Cap Roast
A few months ago, my girlfriend found and procured a grassfed wagyu sirloin cap roast on sale at the grocery store. Since it was recently independence day and the height of grilling season, I thought it would be the perfect time to bring it out of the deep freeze and grill it up. I must admit,…
Paleo Mayo
I’ve always been a fan of mayo. It was one of my favorite condiments for sandwiches, meat, and even dipping veggies in. Now that I’m eating a ketogenic paleo diet for epilepsy, I found that utilizing paleo mayo is a great way to keep my fat content up. It’s also infinitely customizable. Add a couple…
Cold Thermogenesis: One Month Into the Cold
So this week brings about the close to the 4 weeks since Paleo FX. Over the last 4 weeks, I’ve been implementing some protocols that I learned while in Austin. Most notably: Jack Kruse’s Cold Thermogenesis and Leptin Reset Protocol, Bulletproof Coffee, turning the lights out as soon as possible once the sun sets (the…
Paleo Benedict
This has to be one of my all time, favorite breakfast dishes. So on Easter Sunday, I decided to make it for me and my girlfriend. Earlier, I wrote a poached eggs post (I finally figured out how to do it properly) so I knew this would be a great time to give a paleo…
Braised Short Ribs
Since we won that Le Crueset French Oven in Robb Wolf’s holiday recipe contest earlier this year, I’ve been really getting into braising things, especially in the last month or so. I’ve made the Southern Style Braised Greens on average of once a week easily (doesn’t hurt that there’s plenty of bacon in there). Today…
Paleo f(x) 2012 – Part 1
Last weekend, I had the great opportunity to attend Paleo FX in Austin, TX. Similar to the Ancestral Health Symposium, held in August, Paleo FX was full of who’s who in the paleo world, from the all knowing and all powerful, Robb Wolf to Mark Sisson to Chris Kresser to Dr Jack Kruse to James…
Ketogenic Pizza
Pizza. One of the most delicious foods known to man. Is there any food out there that could be less ketogenic? One of my personal Achilles’ Heel foods. Before I went paleo, I can safely say that I would average eating pizza about 3 times a week. So, when I did make the switch, it…
