I’ve always been a big fan of coconut. And in my early days of adopting a paleo diet, I ate my fair share of macaroons as long as they weren’t made with corn syrup anyway. When I started the ketogenic paleo approach, obviously sweets and desserts even the paleo kind were off limits. It really…
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…
Paleo Pumpkin Chili
Lately I’ve been utilizing a lot of fall and winter vegetables in my cooking. I love this time of year and last year I wrote about how much I love chili around this time as well. The inspiration for this recipe comes from my old chili recipe. I figured with all the pumpkin recipes out…
Grilled Sardines in Herb Ghee
I have never had sardines before. The initial thought of them conjures up images of tiny oily fish in a can. Not too appetizing in my opinion, so I never even knew that they came in larger, fresher forms. As it turns out, they’re pretty tasty albeit a little involved to prepare since they come…
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bites
Fall is here and that means pumpkin everything – last week, I attempted to paleoify an old favorite: the chocolate chip pumpkin cookie. These little Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bites are so delicious that it’s hard to eat just one. But remember, a treat – paleo or not – is still a treat. These are perfect…
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…
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…
