Brussels Sprouts are quite possibly one of the most misunderstood veggies out there. My dad shares the generalized opinion that they are the most foul tasting vegetable on the planet. His mom wasn’t the greatest cook so I’m told, so a lot of his food was either bland, or came from a can. However, today…
Smoked Paprika Oven Roasted Salmon
This is just a different way to look at salmon really. I was getting tired of eating it either grilled on a cedar plank or poached in the salmon chowder recipe from Everyday Paleo. Although I love both recipes, I wanted to think a little outside the box and apply my long standing obsession of…
Perfect Poached Eggs
I’ve always been a fan of eggs. I was always able to make the different styles: scrambled, fried, boiled, but for some reason, I could never figure out how to poach and egg without the whites turning into squid tentacles as soon as it hit the water. I knew that vinegar is somehow a factor,…
Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs in Marinara Sauce
A classic home cooked favorite of most people I think, is spaghetti and meatballs. The marinara sauce is the easiest thing to convert into a paleo rendition, but the other two are well known foods that contain flours and other sorts of non paleo fare. The most common way around the spaghetti (and most pastas)…
Marinara Sauce
This recipe is very similar to that of my bolognese. There are fewer ingredients in the marinara, and this sauce is a smoother texture since there is no meat in it. I use this sauce typically for spaghetti squash and meatballs or even for homemade pizza sauce (I know pizza isn’t paleo but I’m working…
Duck Fat Yucca Fries
Ever since I heard yucca fries brought up during one of Robb Wolf’s podcasts as an alternative to sweet potatoes, I’ve been curious to try them. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some sweet fries, but after eating paleo for just about two years, it’s about time that I experiment with an alternative, you…
Bacon Wrapped Chili Dogs
This past weekend Suzanne was out so I was left to fend for myself for dinner. I had just received a smoker box for my grill a few weeks prior as a gift and I wanted to try it out. I took a handful of applewood chips and soaked them in water to get them…
Paleo Zucchini Pasta Bolognese
My mom always made a great bolognese, and it has long been one of my favorite pasta dishes. It being the 2nd to last night of the 21 Day Sugar Detox, I thought it would be fun to try and make a great paleo bolognese ‘pasta’ dish using zucchini noodles instead of regular pasta or…
Paleo Crock Pot Chili
Chili is just one of those great hearty meals that always seems best in the cold months of the year. Or in LA, when the temperature dips below 60. I can’t wait to make this during the next couple months especially since ski season is starting, and nothing tastes better than a big bowl of…
Paleo Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s Pie is one of my favorite comfort dishes. It’s a great hearty meal to eat when the weather turns cold. A couple weeks ago, Suzanne and I had a hankering for it so we decided to give it a paleo twist. Shepherd’s Pie Paleo Style Print Prep time 10 mins Cook time 8…
