This month has by far been my busiest month of the year. With it being Epilepsy Awareness Month, my current attempts to come off of my medication, not to mention Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and to top it all off, I have to move into a new place by the end of the…
Watermelon Basil Salad
I know this site is more known for the ‘low carb’ sort of recipes but seeing as it’s summertime and watermelons are in season, I’ve wanted to get this recipe up for awhile. My thought behind it is: it’s the proper season for these tasty melons and even though I tend to eat a lower…
Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream
I love ice cream. It’s hands-down one of my favorite treats – be it summer or winter. I can handle dairy OK, but occasionally I need to lay off the cow, so I decided to try my hand at making vanilla coconut milk ice cream. Meanwhile, try out the vanilla and let me know what…
Watermelon Granita
Ever since I can remember, summertime is my absolutely FAVORITE time of the year. I lived at our neighborhood pool, where I was on the swim team, later on a lifeguard and swim coach. Watermelon and summer go together like bacon & eggs – and there’s nothing better than eating a slice of juicy watermelon…
Review: Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry | Paleo Bread
Last week I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced copy of Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry by Elana Amsterdam. Elana is the genius behind the wildly popular blog Elana’s Pantry. She is one of the original gluten free recipe bloggers out there. In fact, it was her book Gluten Free Cupcakes that was highly…
Fire Roasted Sweet Potatoes
This is actually something that I’ve been playing with for months now. I first tried it at my parents house in Colorado for new years dinner. They had just built a fire pit in their new back yard and I thought what better way to not only enjoy a fire in the frigid temperatures, but…
Review: 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking | Italian Wedding Soup
Well, they’ve done it again. Two of the hardest working people I know have released yet ANOTHER book. My good friends, Bill and Hayley from The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate have been working hard on an expansion of their wildly popular ebook 30 Day Intro to Paleo called The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking. Let…
Macadamia Nut Garden Fresh Pesto
I’ve always been a big fan of pesto. It’s become one of my favorite ways to dress up salads recently as well. We have a small (3 plants) herb garden on our balcony and when I returned home from my hunting trip, I found that the basil plant had grown quite a bit so what…
Oven Roasted Crispy Salmon Skins
I love salmon. In my house, we tend to eat salmon fillet on average of about once a week. Most of the time, I leave the skin on during the cooking process. Sometimes however, I will cook it with the skin removed. Since there’s some good stuff in the skins, I feel it’s a waste…
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…
