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…
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….
Fish Oil for Epilepsy and Neurological Function
Back in November I wrote quite a lengthy post about my success at convincing my neurology team to allow me to come off some if not all of my medications. As of now, it’s been 11 months since I started tapering off one of the two medications I’ve taken for epilepsy. It’s been a long…
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…
Vanilla Sage Grilled Pork Chop
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t have a lot of pork chops growing up. When we did, we usually rocked the Shake n’ Bake method which from what I remember, the flavor was really good (most likely due to chemically enhanced seasonings like MSG) but seemed to be a crap shoot as to whether…
Firecracker Duck Wings
Wow, what a week it’s been for us lately. It’s been so busy that the time has just flown by in a big way. Last week, Suz flew out to Pittsburgh to hang out with some of our best friends, Bill and Hayley Staley from Primal Palate. I was supposed to go with her for…
Teriyaki Pineapple Shrimp Skewers
Well, I have officially been in Vancouver for a whole week as of yesterday! I can’t believe how fast the time is already going by. Because I haven’t really explained it yet, you might ask yourself, “Sean, why are you in Vancouver for the next 3 months?!” Well, my day job as it were is…
