My family always has shredded brisket cooked in a CrockPot every summer. It’s kind of been the go to dish to feed the 9 of us (4 in my family and 5 in my cousins’ who grew up a short 6 blocks away) for any special occasion during the summer. We have plenty in the…
Review: Against All Grain | Curried Short Ribs
Paleo Book Season is definitely in full swing. I have been lucky enough to get on the right list somehow for advanced copies of some great books. The latest one to hit my doorstep is Against All Grain by Danielle Walker, the genius mind behind the blog of the same name. Not only are the…
Home Cured Bacon
Earlier I wrote a post about the first time I used a smoker for an amazing smoked chicken 4th of July meal. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of bacon. Who isn’t right? But over the last year or so, I’ve started to make as much as I could at home. That way…
Carmelized Banana Milkshake
Earlier this week I wrote a big post summarizing our amazing trip to Pittsburgh to spend some time with our friends Bill and Hayley from The Food Lovers. We had an amazing time to say the least. While I know most of the post talked about the fantastic food we had at restaurants, we also…
Pittsburgh Visit with Primal Palate
Last week, Suzanne and I took a much needed vacation away from Los Angeles to visit our good friends Bill and Hayley of The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate in Pittsburgh, PA. We spent an entire week there relaxing, eating amazing food, and for me and Bill, a couple of mornings of fishing. We even got a…
Review: Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry | Paleo Bread
Last week I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced copy of Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry by Elana Amsterdam. Elana is the genius behind the wildly popular blog Elana’s Pantry. She is one of the original gluten free recipe bloggers out there. In fact, it was her book Gluten Free Cupcakes that was highly…
Fire Roasted Sweet Potatoes
This is actually something that I’ve been playing with for months now. I first tried it at my parents house in Colorado for new years dinner. They had just built a fire pit in their new back yard and I thought what better way to not only enjoy a fire in the frigid temperatures, but…
Review: 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking | Italian Wedding Soup
Well, they’ve done it again. Two of the hardest working people I know have released yet ANOTHER book. My good friends, Bill and Hayley from The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate have been working hard on an expansion of their wildly popular ebook 30 Day Intro to Paleo called The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking. Let…
Mu Shu Pork
A few weeks ago my friends Stacy and Matt from Paleo Parents contacted me (and several other paleo bloggers) to try and paleo-ify some meals from the Chinese chain, PF Chang’s. Sort of like a virtual dinner party of sorts. Since I already have a Beef and Broccoli post from the Sous Vide Showdown, I…
Homemade Hoisin Sauce
One of my favorite Asian appetizers is chicken satay. I just love the salty, sweet and spicy peanut based dipping sauce that it comes with. I even used to make a chicken stir fry dish with the same sauce. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to make it until now. Last week I was approached by…
