It’s the New Year now and for the most part, I think people are waving good bye to pumpkin recipes. However, pumpkins are still plentiful and it’s always bothered me that I would throw away the seeds in year’s past. Growing up as a baseball player, I always had either pumpkin or sunflower seeds to…
Crab Dip with Homemade Cocktail Sauce
This is an appetizer that my family serves at virtually every get together we have. Most notably Thanksgiving and Christmas. The version we usually make is a simple parfait of sorts of all the ingredients layered on top of each other. Traditionally, we just place the cream cheese log on a plate then add crab…
Holiday Lattes with Paleo Shortbread
We’re officially in Mid December A.K.A. the thick of the Holiday Season. Now is the time where everyone starts making (and devouring) all those tempting and delicious holiday treats. My family alone makes over 8 different kinds of cookies and treats for Christmastime. From turtles (chocolate, caramel and pecans) to hazelnut chocolate covered chow mein…
Crock Pot Carne Asada
So I know lately, given the season, I’ve been focusing on lots of desserts and holiday fare. So with this recipe, I wanted to get away from that briefly, hey Thanksgiving might be over but Christmas is coming, and I have a few recipes coming down the pipe for that! But for now, I must…

Review: Treating Epilepsy Naturally
Epilepsy Awareness Month is just over halfway through and I’ve wanted to write this post for awhile. I first read Treating Epilepsy Naturally by Patricia A. Murphy almost 12 years ago believe it or not when I was researching epilepsy for a documentary I made while at Brooks Institute of Photography. Looking back now, I…
Breakfast Sausage
It’s no secret that I’m a lover of all things bacon. It’s a rarity if I don’t have at least a slice in any given day. Over the last few months it’s even gotten to a point where I make all my own now. As much as I don’t want to admit it, sometimes I’m…
Herb Roasted Turkey and Gravy with Citrus Cranberry Sauce
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and with it brings one of the most iconic dishes in America: The Roasted Turkey. We’ve all experienced some amazingly succulent and tasty birds in our Thanksgiving pasts, but I think it’s safe to say we’ve also experienced the opposite. A turkey so dry and bland that it almost…
Colorado Visit: 100 Year Flood and Great News from the Neurologist
About a month and a half ago I went back home to Colorado to do two things: My annual elk bowhunt with my Dad deep in the Rocky Moutains Visit my neurologist to discuss the possibility of reducing my medication either partially or even completely. Last year my dad and I went up into the…
