This is actually something that I’ve had in the works for quite some time. I had this idea way back in October of last year but never was able to find the time to get it going. It was also difficult for me to get my hands on a quality grass fed beef heart as…
Top Ten Recipes for the Super Bowl
So we are officially one week away from one of the biggest events that involves snacks and food galore. Whether you’re hosting or attending one of these parties, it’s always good to provide at least one dish that will satisfy all guests that attend. I’m talking of course about Super Bowl Sunday. I should also…
Smoked Chicken Wings with Homemade Ranch
It seems like for the past few months almost that I’ve been on a big time chicken wing kick. And I mean, BIG TIME. I think I have averaged chicken wings about 2-3 times per week. I think one of the best things about chicken wings has to be the fact that the cooking…
Spicy Queso with Homemade Chorizo
This is another one of those classic snacks that I would enjoy while growing up and even into college and beyond. I’m talking of course of that classic Tex Mex dish: Queso Dip. Of course the way I always made it usually involved a brick of fake cheese, cheap salsa and a crock pot. Over…
Duck Fat and Rosemary Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
It’s the New Year now and for the most part, I think people are waving good bye to pumpkin recipes. However, pumpkins are still plentiful and it’s always bothered me that I would throw away the seeds in year’s past. Growing up as a baseball player, I always had either pumpkin or sunflower seeds to…
Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates
It seems like when people make the switch to a paleo lifestyle, they naturally gravitate towards this classic dish for a snack, especially when it comes to parties and get togethers. I can’t tell you how many of these I’ve eaten in my lifetime because it’s quite honestly, way too many to even think about….
Crab Dip with Homemade Cocktail Sauce
This is an appetizer that my family serves at virtually every get together we have. Most notably Thanksgiving and Christmas. The version we usually make is a simple parfait of sorts of all the ingredients layered on top of each other. Traditionally, we just place the cream cheese log on a plate then add crab…
Spiced Cider Brined Head Cheese
This has been something that I’ve wanted to make for over 2 years now. I first heard of headcheese from a friend of mine at the gym. I was running a 12 week paleo challenge there, and he asked me what my take on headcheese was. At the time I was dead against any and…
Crock Pot Bone Broth
First off, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I truly hope your holiday break was as amazing as mine was. My girlfriend and I each traveled home to Colorado to visit our families for Christmas. Her entire family was in town from Alabama for the eventual birth of her new nephew. Which…
Review: Nom Nom Paleo: Food For Humans | Asian Cauliflower Fried “Rice”
If you’re a paleo person, just starting out or a veteran offal eater – you’ve got to be familiar with the seriously popular site by Michelle Tam: Nom Nom Paleo. Michelle’s site is dedicated to paleo recipes, yes, but it’s oh-so-much more. That’s why when she broke the news that she and her husband Henry…
