If you’re a frequent reader of the blog, you’ll know that I’m a fan of macadamia nuts. They have a great creamy taste and texture. As a bonus, they are also naturally ketogenic, and they contain a low amount of Omega-6 fatty acids, which are pro-inflammatory, so they really are the ideal nut for me. …
Paleo Egg Nog
It’s officially the holiday season and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Every year when egg nog hits the shelves in stores I find that I just can’t help myself and must indulge. I’ve had a lifelong obsession with this magical holiday concoction. There’s just something about that sweet, creamy beverage that really makes…
Pan Roasted Lamb Steak Over Cauliflower Mash
I’ve been on a bit of a lamb kick as of late. It all kind of started when I did the home cured lamb belly experiment. That turned out so well that I thought to try more to cook with lamb a little more often (usually my red meat source is beef). I’ve also expressed…
Epilepsy Awareness Month
As many of you who read my blog know, I have epilepsy and I am trying my best to treat it naturally without the use of medication. Currently, I still take medication but a much smaller dose than I used to thanks in part by a healthy diet and lifestyle. If you want the extended…
Oven Roasted Tender Medallions with Rosemary Horseradish Mayo
I love tenderloin…who doesn’t right? The problem is, it costs a fortune. Recently, I came across a much less expensive alternative though. The Teres Major roast. The teres major is known by a few names: beef shoulder petite tender, beef shoulder tender petite roast, tender medallions and bistro filet. It is one of the most tender cuts on…
Pan Roasted Swordfish Steaks
There was a sale for wild, line caught swordfish steaks the other day so we decided to get a couple to try it out. I’ve always been a fan of pan roasting and since swordfish steaks are particularly thick and not a very delicate fish, I thought this would be a great opportunity to…
Macadamia Nut Garden Fresh Pesto
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,…
