Back in 2011, I was pretty new into paleo, and new into dating Sean. I remember Sean talking about this Make it Paleo book that was going to be huge for the paleo world. Back then, I was also pretty new into eating meat again from my veggie days, so I welcomed any new recipes…
Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts and Pecans with Balsamic Drizzle
I. Love. Brussels Sprouts. And did you know it’s properly spelled Brussels? Not brussel or brussels. I always was unsure if I was spelling it correctly, and a dip into the Google pool turns up info that they were predominately grown in Brussels, Belgium. Now I know (and knowing is half the battle)! Anyway, I…
Crab Cake Deviled Eggs
January is halfway over and Suz and I are on day 12 of our Whole30. We’ve completed one or two in the past but I must say, this time, it’s been much easier. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s the new year and maybe it’s that we’ve completed the challenge before. But I honestly think…
Spicy Venison Chili
First and foremost, Happy New Year! It has been seriously crazy leading up to the new year for us. From the big move out of Los Angeles to me (Sean) having to work all kinds of crazy hours to finish out the year in Vancouver. After all the months of non stop action, I was…
Eggnog Gummies
Holy moly, Christmas is already next week! It’s been such a busy holiday season for Suz and me, with the two roadtrips and the big move out of Los Angeles (me up to Vancouver and Suz home to Alabama for a bit), that we haven’t had a chance to get many recipes out lately. During…
Thanksgiving Meatloaf Muffins with Cranberry Ketchup & Cauliflower Mash
A few weeks ago, I made some mini-meatloaf muffins “frosted” with mashed potatoes for my weekly girls night (in which we watch Dancing with the Stars – don’t hate. Team Alfonso btw). Needless to say, they were a huge hit! I had used dark turkey meat but made it more of a traditional Italian meatloaf….
Review ~ Paleo By Season | Chocolate Pumpkin Pie
We first met Pete & Sarah Servold at a Balanced Bites seminar in our old gym back in early 2013. Diane had brought them up to cater the event, and Sean and I immediately hit it off with the Pete’s Paleo team. One bite of the bacon, and you’re in love. Pete’s background as a…
Grilled Maple Dijon Pork Tenderloin
A few months back, we were introduced to the monocled master condiment, Sir Kensingtons by our friend Juli of PaleOMG. She had been posting about the mayo for a little while and just couldn’t stop raving about it. The fact that it is all clean ingredients is a huge win, but it also tastes absolutely…
Top 10 Recipes for Labor Day Weekend
The summer is almost over, can you believe it? I can’t. Seems like not that long ago I packed up and moved (temporarily) to Vancouver for a short term job and that was already TWO MONTHS AGO! Summer has really flown by this year. That means that school is almost (or in some cases already…
Review ~ Paleo Grilling: A Modern Caveman’s Guide to Cooking with Fire
Summers and grilling go together like peas and carrots, or any other pair that is just right in all ways possible – maybe caveman & fire? :D. Spending an afternoon around the grill is imperative in the summertime, and better yet when you’re surrounded by friends and/or family. Of course, firing up the grill doesn’t…
