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…
Ancestral Health Symposium 2012
Earlier this month I was fortunate enough to attend the 2nd annual Ancestral Health Symposium or AHS from here on out, at Harvard University. Last year it was held at UCLA and was therefore much easier (and less expensive) for me to attend. However, given the amount that I had learned last year at AHS…
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…
Hard Cider Braised ‘Beer’ Bratwurst
One of my favorite summer dishes has to be beer bratwurst. The long slow cooking process releases all kinds of great flavors from the beer and the veggies along with it. Follow that by searing them on the grill is the perfect way to have a cookout in the backyard or in my case, apartment….
Broiled Lobster Tails in Herb Butter
The other day my girlfriend and I were taking a meat inventory of our freezer and found 4 wild caught lobster tails from the unexpected meat stockpile sale a few months ago. I had completely forgotten about them so we pulled them out to cook up. I had heard through a friend of mine that…
Farmers Market Spring Veggie Medley with Wild Shrimp
Now that spring is officially here and more veggies are in season, I decided to make a veggie medley or succotash from the goodies I can pick up in my local farmers market in Mar Vista. I have been attending this particular farmers market for almost two years. It’s easily my favorite one in all…
Cinco De Mayo Bacon Tacos
So, last year I posted a paleo taco salad recipe for Cinco de Mayo and I thought it would be a good thing to post another Cinco de Mayo related recipe. Ever since the ketogenic pizza creation, I’ve been playing with many different dishes that incorporate the bacon lattice. I finally decided on carnitas tacos…
Cold Thermogenesis: One Month Into the Cold
So this week brings about the close to the 4 weeks since Paleo FX. Over the last 4 weeks, I’ve been implementing some protocols that I learned while in Austin. Most notably: Jack Kruse’s Cold Thermogenesis and Leptin Reset Protocol, Bulletproof Coffee, turning the lights out as soon as possible once the sun sets (the…
Paleo f(x) 2012 – Part 2
Like I mentioned in my earlier post about Paleo f(x) found here, the main reason I made the trek down to Austin was to speak with as many experts, doctors, nutritionists, etc as I could in order to try and treat my epilepsy naturally and hopefully one day, come off my meds completely. I wasn’t…
Paleo f(x) 2012 – Part 1
Last weekend, I had the great opportunity to attend Paleo FX in Austin, TX. Similar to the Ancestral Health Symposium, held in August, Paleo FX was full of who’s who in the paleo world, from the all knowing and all powerful, Robb Wolf to Mark Sisson to Chris Kresser to Dr Jack Kruse to James…
