Last month, Suz and I got some much needed time together. I had just finished up some pretty brutal hours working in Vancouver on Jurassic World. So when I was finally able to decompress and take some time off, I went down to Alabama for 2 weeks to relax and spend quality time with Suz….
Flourless Dark Chocolate Cake
This Flourless Chocolate Cake has been in the works in the Pastured Test Kitchen for quite some time now. It started back several years ago when at my cousin’s birthday party in LA, she served this delicious flourless cake! Then there was another LA family get-together, and that cake was served again! Upon about the…
Traditional Beef Pho
It’s no secret that for the last 10 months or so I’ve been living up in Vancouver, BC for visual effects work. It really is a beautiful place right on the foothills of the mountains to the North and at the same time right on the ocean to the West. Alton Brown considers Vancouver to…
Paleo f(x) 2015 | Breakfast Hash
Paleo f(x) is our favorite event of the year. It’s a time when the community gets together to support the implementation of paleo as a lifestyle and not just as a diet. Sean has been to all 4 years of Paleo f(x), and me 3 of them. Each year it has grown, and it’s been…
Review: My Paleo Patisserie | Pistachio Ice Cream with Waffle Cones
When transitioning to a grain-free lifestyle, finding replacements for certain foods can be tough. Gluten makes pizza crust chewy, breads fluffy and grain-free flours aren’t the easiest to just swap out. Learning to make grain-free treats takes time and patience as your raw ingredients react differently than traditional grain flours. I’ve always said baking is…
Corned Beef Hash
Every year when we attend Paleo f(x) Conference in Austin TX (we’re presenting again this year so you don’t want to miss out), we go eat at the fantastic restaurant 24 Diner. The past two years, they’ve had an amazing corned beef hash that I’ve eaten more than once per trip. I made all this…
Reuben Sandwiches with Irish Soda Bread
I love Reuben sandwiches. There’s just something about thinly sliced corned beef, thousand island dressing, and sauerkraut. It really is one of those perfect sandwiches. With St Paddy’s Day coming up around the corner I figured I would try my hand at making a paleo version. As an extra challenge, I decided to make my…
Cajun Shrimp Salad
Last month, Suz and I completed our first Whole 30 Challenge in a couple of years. She was in Alabama and I was here in Vancouver, BC. It went so well, that we’re actually starting another one for the month of March. This recipe is perfect for anytime but especially for Whole 30 or 21DSD…
Review: Every Last Crumb | Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes
Last Fall, life was a bit crazy. Sean had already been in Vancouver since July and had been extended on his job into 2015. Long story short, with that news we decided to move out of LA, and figure out our next plans – which for now means I moved to Alabama to be with…
Lamb Korma
When Suz and I lived in LA, there was an Indian place in our neighborhood that we would eat at a couple times a month. It was easily one of our favorite places and I always looked forward to our dinners there. I’ve been on a huge lamb kick lately and since I’ve been up in…
