One of my favorite summer dishes has to be beer bratwurst. The long slow cooking process releases all kinds of great flavors from the beer and the veggies along with it. Follow that by searing them on the grill is the perfect way to have a cookout in the backyard or in my case, apartment….
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,…
Smokey Grilled Sirloin Cap Roast
A few months ago, my girlfriend found and procured a grassfed wagyu sirloin cap roast on sale at the grocery store. Since it was recently independence day and the height of grilling season, I thought it would be the perfect time to bring it out of the deep freeze and grill it up. I must admit,…
Broiled Lobster Tails in Herb Butter
The other day my girlfriend and I were taking a meat inventory of our freezer and found 4 wild caught lobster tails from the unexpected meat stockpile sale a few months ago. I had completely forgotten about them so we pulled them out to cook up. I had heard through a friend of mine that…
Farmers Market Spring Veggie Medley with Wild Shrimp
Now that spring is officially here and more veggies are in season, I decided to make a veggie medley or succotash from the goodies I can pick up in my local farmers market in Mar Vista. I have been attending this particular farmers market for almost two years. It’s easily my favorite one in all…
Paleo Mayo
I’ve always been a fan of mayo. It was one of my favorite condiments for sandwiches, meat, and even dipping veggies in. Now that I’m eating a ketogenic paleo diet for epilepsy, I found that utilizing paleo mayo is a great way to keep my fat content up. It’s also infinitely customizable. Add a couple…
Cinco De Mayo Bacon Tacos
So, last year I posted a paleo taco salad recipe for Cinco de Mayo and I thought it would be a good thing to post another Cinco de Mayo related recipe. Ever since the ketogenic pizza creation, I’ve been playing with many different dishes that incorporate the bacon lattice. I finally decided on carnitas tacos…
Paleo Benedict
This has to be one of my all time, favorite breakfast dishes. So on Easter Sunday, I decided to make it for me and my girlfriend. Earlier, I wrote a poached eggs post (I finally figured out how to do it properly) so I knew this would be a great time to give a paleo…
Braised Short Ribs
Since we won that Le Crueset French Oven in Robb Wolf’s holiday recipe contest earlier this year, I’ve been really getting into braising things, especially in the last month or so. I’ve made the Southern Style Braised Greens on average of once a week easily (doesn’t hurt that there’s plenty of bacon in there). Today…
Ketogenic Pizza
Pizza. One of the most delicious foods known to man. Is there any food out there that could be less ketogenic? One of my personal Achilles’ Heel foods. Before I went paleo, I can safely say that I would average eating pizza about 3 times a week. So, when I did make the switch, it…
