Gutsy By Nature
My husband has been working to perfect this bolognese sauce for a long time and it broke his heart when I told him I was going on the autoimmune paleo protocol (AIP) last year and couldn’t eat either noodles or tomatoes! So we put our heads together and came up with a way to make […]
Humble pork shoulder is a favorite cut for the budget minded paleo cook, but in this dish it gets dressed up for dinner as it is braised in a rich sauce of pancetta and red wine, accented by the food trinity of flavor and some fresh herbs. With a couple simple substitutions, it can even be […]
Congratulations Chloe B. – You are the winner! When Kelly showed me the digital sample of her new book, Everyday Grain Free Baking, and I saw how many of the recipes were compliant with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) I knew that I definitely wanted to get my hands on the physical book when it was […]
These Hawaiian chicken wings are my way of capturing the flavors of the islands in a bite size package and paying homage to the tradition of the grilled huli huli chicken, but without out any of the junky ingredients you’d find in a bottled sauce or the barbecue grill which is likely buried under snow […]
UPDATE: Congratulations Lori L., you are the winner! Check your email and reply to confirm your address… I find it hard to believe now, but for the longest time I thought I hated squash. One of the delightful side effects of going on a diet that restricted most of the starchy foods I used to fill my […]
Before I get into singing the praises of the nutrient density of this pâté I lovingly call “powerhouse-on-a-plate,” I have to tell you a funny story about the real life troubles of food blogging. It is autumn now and that means that the days are getting shorter and so are the hours in which you […]
Every now and then, a cookbook comes along that changes everything you think you know about its particular niche. It presents something in a totally new way or it opens doors of a cuisine to a new audience. Mediterranean Paleo Cooking by popular blogger Caitlin Weeks, her chef husband Nabil Boumrar, and Diane Sanfilippo does both. Think […]
I love playing with herbs and spices in my cooking, so when I first went on the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) and had to eliminate both nightshades and seed-based spices from my diet, I thought I would simply die of food boredom! What saved me is this sage, rosemary and garlic salt – which I […]
I love gravy. It has always been my favorite part of any holiday meal and so I was thrilled that the gluten free gravy I created last year from the drippings of our Thanksgiving turkey was plate-licking delicious. Unfortunately, that gravy was the end result of a process that started 24 hours prior and I just don’t […]
This recipe for garlic and rosemary roast beef is dead simple to make and so tasty! I used grass-fed sirloin tip roast, but you could make this with any of the lean cuts that tend to be tough if not handled properly, including rump roast, cross-rib roasts, sirloin roasts, and top round. The basic template […]
