So this recipe is actually something I’ve been making on a weekly basis for about 4 months now. It’s THE perfect way to take bone broth with you on the go without worrying about it spilling in transit. Since I’ve been living in Vancouver for just over a year now, I tend to walk or ride…
Duck Fat and Rosemary Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
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…
Cinnamon Krunch Ice Cream
When I first switched to a paleo way of eating, one of the food items that was the hardest to give up for me was ice cream. As a former fat kid, it wasn’t all that unusual for me to get a pint of cinnamon bun ice cream from the store and destroy it all…
Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream
I love ice cream. It’s hands-down one of my favorite treats – be it summer or winter. I can handle dairy OK, but occasionally I need to lay off the cow, so I decided to try my hand at making vanilla coconut milk ice cream. Meanwhile, try out the vanilla and let me know what…
Watermelon Granita
Ever since I can remember, summertime is my absolutely FAVORITE time of the year. I lived at our neighborhood pool, where I was on the swim team, later on a lifeguard and swim coach. Watermelon and summer go together like bacon & eggs – and there’s nothing better than eating a slice of juicy watermelon…
Strawberry Bellinis
With the weather warming up, soon we’ll be attending barbecue’s, outdoor parties and the occasional beach bash. One of my favorite festive beverages has to be the Bellini. Traditional Bellinis are made with Prosecco & peach purée – but don’t let those yummy, fuzzy stone fruits thwart your creativity. Bellinis can be made with any…
Chocolate Avocado Mousse
A restaurant that I attend on a regular basis sometimes serves a whipped avocado topping for their amazing burgers. The texture is just so light and creamy much like a mousse so I figured, why not add some cacao powder and some other goodies to a whipped avocado and try to make a great mousse…
Sweet Dijon Chicken
For the past month or so, I’ve been cooking almost exclusively with my new SousVide machine. Mostly, that’s due to the fact that I was participating in a Paleo Recipe Showdown utilizing the SousVide and Tx Bar Organics beef. While I have loved learning the method of SousVide, after a month, I’m a little tired of…
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…
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…
