Duck has to be one of my favorite birds to eat and cook. It doesn’t hurt that one of the side effects of cooking duck is an extra cache of delicious duck fat that can be used for a great many things in the kitchen. It is, after all referred to by many a cook…
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…
Fast Paleo: Top 100 recipes of 2012
A couple months or so ago, I was contacted by Ute and James, the guys from the amazing paleo recipe sharing site: fastpaleo.com. They told me about an ebook they had been working on that contained the top 100 recipes of 2012 and they had selected 3 of mine! The recipes in question are: Ketogenic…
Sous Vide Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
As many of you know, I’ve been selected as one of 12 paleo bloggers to compete in the Paleo Sous Vide Supreme Showdown featuring beef from Tx Bar Organics. I was supplied with a Sous Vide Supreme and a box of Tx Bar Organics beef earlier this month and was let loose in the kitchen, coming…
Pheasant Pâté
Over the holidays, while I was home in Colorado, the men in my family decided to go on a pheasant hunt. Sort of like a family male bonding day trip. Overall, the trip was a success. We managed to get 27 birds in total which yielded the perfect amount of livers for a nice Christmas…
Spicy White Chicken Chili
While I was home in Alabama, I decided to attempt a paleo version of white chili – the specialty of a local deli (Duffy’s for any Huntsville folks!). White chili is usually made with navy beans, cream and chicken – 2 out of 3 ain’t bad, right? This version has my own twist and got…
Paleo SousVide Showdown Competitors Announced
A few weeks ago I applied for a slot on a short list of paleo bloggers to compete in a paleo recipe competition sponsored by SousVide Supreme and TX Bar Organics Beef. I will be provided a SousVide supreme on loan as well as a vacuum sealer to keep (awesome!) and a small supply of…
Macadamia Coconut Cream Candy
A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I drove the 90 minutes south to visit our friend George for some good times and of course ridiculous food. While we were there helping him make his pumpkin blueberry blondies, George introduced us to what is now the greatest substances ever: Coconut Cream Concentrate. I’ve been experimenting with…
Macadamia Nut Butter
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…
