Last month, Suz and I got some much needed time together. I had just finished up some pretty brutal hours working in Vancouver on Jurassic World. So when I was finally able to decompress and take some time off, I went down to Alabama for 2 weeks to relax and spend quality time with Suz….
Paleo f(x) 2015 | Breakfast Hash
Paleo f(x) is our favorite event of the year. It’s a time when the community gets together to support the implementation of paleo as a lifestyle and not just as a diet. Sean has been to all 4 years of Paleo f(x), and me 3 of them. Each year it has grown, and it’s been…
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…
BBQ Flavored Pork Rinds
I have to admit, one of the things that I miss the most, especially in the summertime when BBQ’s are happening what seems like every weekend is a good salty, crispy, fried snack. Ever since switching to a lower carb paleo approach to deal with my epilepsy, chips are off the menu (not that they…
Maple Mustard and Cider Braised Pork Belly
It’s officially the week of Paleo f(x) and Suzanne and I couldn’t be more excited and nervous at the same time. We’re doing a cooking demo for a modified version of our Paleo Eggs Benedict with a totally FOOLPROOF hollandaise sauce. I’m also on a panel for the Journey of Transformation where I’ll be talking about…
Chorizo Stir Fry
When I finally figured out the secret to making delicious homemade chorizo, I definitely have gone a little crazy in using it for everything. From subbing out bacon in the morning (shocking, I know) to making a cleaner version of a queso dip I grew up with, this new chorizo has been close to an…
Spicy Queso with Homemade Chorizo
This is another one of those classic snacks that I would enjoy while growing up and even into college and beyond. I’m talking of course of that classic Tex Mex dish: Queso Dip. Of course the way I always made it usually involved a brick of fake cheese, cheap salsa and a crock pot. Over…
How to Render Lard
Earlier this month, I was lucky enough to attend Farm Day at Cook Pigs Ranch in Julian, CA for a tour of their farm as well as how they raise their pigs. I must say, they do things RIGHT at Cook Pigs. Their pigs live better lives than a lot of humans that I know….
BBQ Pulled Pork
My family always has shredded brisket cooked in a CrockPot every summer. It’s kind of been the go to dish to feed the 9 of us (4 in my family and 5 in my cousins’ who grew up a short 6 blocks away) for any special occasion during the summer. We have plenty in the…
Review: Beyond Bacon
The subject matter of this book is very close to my heart. I know I’ve been up on the soapbox before about the importance of utilizing a nose to tail approach when eating. To me, so many people are too far removed from where our food actually comes from. Let me tell you, the The Paleo…
