We’re officially in Mid December A.K.A. the thick of the Holiday Season. Now is the time where everyone starts making (and devouring) all those tempting and delicious holiday treats. My family alone makes over 8 different kinds of cookies and treats for Christmastime. From turtles (chocolate, caramel and pecans) to hazelnut chocolate covered chow mein…
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…
Crock Pot Carne Asada
So I know lately, given the season, I’ve been focusing on lots of desserts and holiday fare. So with this recipe, I wanted to get away from that briefly, hey Thanksgiving might be over but Christmas is coming, and I have a few recipes coming down the pipe for that! But for now, I must…
Ginger Cilantro Salmon Cakes
I know that beef and pork make up the bulk of the recipes on this site. There’s only a handful of seafood recipes on here and while I do eat seafood fairly regularly, I haven’t posted many of the recipes here. Sorry about that. I do have a whole list of seafood items that I…
Top Ten Thanksgiving Recipes
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…
Pumpkin Pie Crème Brûlée
One of my favorite things about Fall and the holiday season in general is the abundance of pumpkin flavored…everything really. Before my evolution into paleo, I can safely say that I consumed my fair share of pumpkin pies, lattes, cakes, muffins among others. Once I gave up sugar and grains however, all that changed (for…
Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie
Pecan pie is about as American as, well, pie! It’s sugary, gooey and it’s just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite holiday treats. For most of my life, I had been enjoying the traditional pecan pie and I was happy. That is, until one day my Southern girlfriend told me about a…
Review: Treating Epilepsy Naturally
Epilepsy Awareness Month is just over halfway through and I’ve wanted to write this post for awhile. I first read Treating Epilepsy Naturally by Patricia A. Murphy almost 12 years ago believe it or not when I was researching epilepsy for a documentary I made while at Brooks Institute of Photography. Looking back now, I…
Breakfast Sausage
It’s no secret that I’m a lover of all things bacon. It’s a rarity if I don’t have at least a slice in any given day. Over the last few months it’s even gotten to a point where I make all my own now. As much as I don’t want to admit it, sometimes I’m…
Herb Roasted Turkey and Gravy with Citrus Cranberry Sauce
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and with it brings one of the most iconic dishes in America: The Roasted Turkey. We’ve all experienced some amazingly succulent and tasty birds in our Thanksgiving pasts, but I think it’s safe to say we’ve also experienced the opposite. A turkey so dry and bland that it almost…
