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…
Ancestral Health Symposium 2012
Earlier this month I was fortunate enough to attend the 2nd annual Ancestral Health Symposium or AHS from here on out, at Harvard University. Last year it was held at UCLA and was therefore much easier (and less expensive) for me to attend. However, given the amount that I had learned last year at AHS…
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,…
