Makin’ Bacon: Part 2

04/26/2012 by julezig 3 Comments

Let’s imagine that we have a time machine and 7-10 days have passed and not just two. You followed the directions for curing the pork belly and it’s been hanging out in your fridge with you flipping it every other day. Now it’s time to smoke it. But you don’t have a smoker. What to […]

Makin’ Bacon: Part 1

04/24/2012 by julezig 5 Comments

Hey guys! Good to see you again. It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Since Karen had to go and take a little vacation, I thought I’d stop by and tell you all about my recent adventure of making my own bacon. Oh yes, you heard me right. I made my own bacon. And not in that […]

The Finish Line

09/20/2011 by julezig 1 Comment

Hi all, it’s Juliann again! I wanted to drop by and (finally) give you my post-30 day challenge update. My Whole 30 light officially ended on September 7th and it’s possible I was a little busy with work, football and Warrior Dash-ing making this post a bit delayed. Back in August I wrote about foods […]

Halfway There

08/23/2011 by julezig 9 Comments

Hey all! Juliann here with another guest post. A few weeks ago I wrote about my kryptonite and I made the promise to go 30 days at 100% primal. Well, I’ve reached the halfway point and I thought I’d drop by to give you all a little update. I started my 30 day paleo challenge on Monday, […]

Recipe: Steak and Goat Cheese Salad

08/05/2011 by julezig 4 Comments

Can I just go ahead and declare my love for goat cheese? To all of you out there who avoid dairy, you can go ahead and make this salad sans goat cheese but really, why would you? The warm steak. The softened red onions. They warm up the goat cheese so that you don’t need […]

What’s Your Kryptonite?

08/04/2011 by julezig 2 Comments

I’m generally not one for comic book references but this seems apt. Is there one thing you feel powerless against? I’ll be honest, for me it’s ice cream. Specifically high quality vanilla bean ice cream. I don’t really need any toppings, but I won’t scoff at adding fresh berries or some dark chocolate chunks. I love the […]

Recipe: Grilled Fish Packets

08/03/2011 by julezig 1 Comment

I’ve always found grilling fish to be a giant pain in the you-know-what. No matter how much oil I used to marinate the fish or to grease the grill grates, I always managed to leave half the fish stuck to the grill. And I know they make those fish grill pans but I don’t have […]

Primal Travel

08/02/2011 by julezig 2 Comments

I’m a person who doesn’t sit still very well and that often translates into a travel bug. Between my desire to see new places, visit family and travel for work, I’m generally on a plane once a month. I love experiencing new places, cultures and food but when I went primal 5 months ago I […]

Recipe: Gazpacho

08/01/2011 by julezig 2 Comments

The minute temps hit triple digits around here, I take it as a sign to walk away from the oven and do whatever I can to make it through four months of hell summer. It’s a coping mechanism that has served me well and helped me survive 8 years in Phoenix. I’ve tried numerous gazpacho recipes […]
