If you’re a frequent reader of the blog, you’ll know that I’m a fan of macadamia nuts. They have a great creamy taste and texture. As a bonus, they are also naturally ketogenic, and they contain a low amount of Omega-6 fatty acids, which are pro-inflammatory, so they really are the ideal nut for me. …
A Memorable Seizure: My Point of View
Since it’s now Epilepsy Awareness Month and I have yet to really share one of my seizure experiences from my own point of view, I figure this would be the perfect time for such a story. This is about the time I got arrested in early 2001. I had just left for film and photography…
Maple Coconut Macaroons
I’ve always been a big fan of coconut. And in my early days of adopting a paleo diet, I ate my fair share of macaroons as long as they weren’t made with corn syrup anyway. When I started the ketogenic paleo approach, obviously sweets and desserts even the paleo kind were off limits. It really…
Seizure First Aid: What To Do If You Are a Witness
I’ve wanted to put something like this up for awhile. Since it’s Epilepsy Awareness Month, I can’t think of a better time to post something on Seizure First Aid and what to do if you witness a seizure. Most people are frightened by seeing someone have a seizure, but witnesses can do a tremendous service…
Pan Roasted Lamb Steak Over Cauliflower Mash
I’ve been on a bit of a lamb kick as of late. It all kind of started when I did the home cured lamb belly experiment. That turned out so well that I thought to try more to cook with lamb a little more often (usually my red meat source is beef). I’ve also expressed…
Epilepsy Awareness Month
As many of you who read my blog know, I have epilepsy and I am trying my best to treat it naturally without the use of medication. Currently, I still take medication but a much smaller dose than I used to thanks in part by a healthy diet and lifestyle. If you want the extended…
Paleo Pumpkin Chili
Lately I’ve been utilizing a lot of fall and winter vegetables in my cooking. I love this time of year and last year I wrote about how much I love chili around this time as well. The inspiration for this recipe comes from my old chili recipe. I figured with all the pumpkin recipes out…
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bites
Fall is here and that means pumpkin everything – last week, I attempted to paleoify an old favorite: the chocolate chip pumpkin cookie. These little Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bites are so delicious that it’s hard to eat just one. But remember, a treat – paleo or not – is still a treat. These are perfect…
Oven Roasted Tender Medallions with Rosemary Horseradish Mayo
I love tenderloin…who doesn’t right? The problem is, it costs a fortune. Recently, I came across a much less expensive alternative though. The Teres Major roast. The teres major is known by a few names: beef shoulder petite tender, beef shoulder tender petite roast, tender medallions and bistro filet. It is one of the most tender cuts on…
Pan Roasted Swordfish Steaks
There was a sale for wild, line caught swordfish steaks the other day so we decided to get a couple to try it out. I’ve always been a fan of pan roasting and since swordfish steaks are particularly thick and not a very delicate fish, I thought this would be a great opportunity to…
