Not actual muffins. I tried to get a picture but I ate them all too fast.

Recipe Shout-Out: Sweet Potato Muffins

09/22/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 2 Comments

So…I can’t lie. I’ve made these twice. This week. Moist, dense, nutritious, and totally comforting. I’m waiting for some room to open up in my stomach now so I can have another one before bed. The oncoming fall season has put me into baking overdrive recently. I would put the brakes on it, but I’m […]

So to answer the throngs who begged to know my fueling secret for such a strenuous race as the Warrior Dash, here’s what I had for breakfast that morning that propelled me to victory, thanks to Health-Bent. Okay, so there are no throngs. And no victory, other than a smug personal satisfaction. But here’s a […]

Sorry, it's hard to make eggs look sexy! But it's easy to make them tasty.

Recipes: Two Ideas for Salami

There’s a part of me that understands not including processed meats in an ancestral-type diet. In general, I try to eat meat in a more untouched state, i.e. chops, steaks, loins, etc. But I’ve made some allowance for tasty, human-altered meats, like salami. And here’s why. Aside from the obvious yum factor, salami provides a […]

Here’s a lovely recipe for your weekend. Whether you’re hitting the trails or just hanging with pals for a leisurely brunch, these will get gobbled up. The basic blueprint, of course, belongs to my friends over at PurelyPrimal.com. But the recipe is so forgiving, you can tool around with it and it always seems to […]

I’m guessing that those of you with M-F jobs might haphazardly scramble some eggs while you’re looking for your keys and running out the door. Going Paleo/Primal was probably scary for breakfast, because without the ol’ standby of dry, cardboard flakes in a bowl, anything else tests your ability to show up to work on […]

This is obviously not a Wednesday-morning-on-the-way-to-work kinda recipe, but if you have a quiet, lazy Sunday in your future, this one is worth the little bit of extra effort. Or this would make a great dinner if you’re all frittata-ed out. If you don’t have any leftover steak—a habit you may want to cultivate since […]

You know the story. Out-of-town visitors have just left and the fridge is empty, but you’re too tired to go the grocery store. Besides, you’ve been cooking a lot for their visit, and you just can’t concoct another meal. Kiddo’s in bed and the hubster’s working, so there’s no one to impress but yourself. *Sigh* […]

That “B” word doesn’t show up much around these parts. But I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect banana bread for years. Going Primal didn’t slow my urge for a moist, dense loaf of bananafied goodness, so I decided to try a few recipes out there. What I kept running into was something closer […]

Yeah, yeah, I know. This is really just an easy change to a recipe I just posted. So sue me. But this version was such a wonderful hit of spring that I had to share. Besides, I was swimming—SWIMMING!—in strawberries and I needed to find a way to use them before they decomposed on me. […]

Whew, that’s a mouthful! And yes they were. A tasty, tasty mouthful. It was that time again, time for a substitution treat, so I trolled the internet looking for a muffin recipe (see my previous article about substitutions here). I’m not a great baker. Never was pre-Primal either. So you won’t find many original baking […]
