This was a quintessential Paleo meal: satisfying, delicious, and hearty. Serious shout-out to PaleOMG for the sauce recipe idea. It’s ingenious, really. I never would’ve thought to use squash to make a rich, dense, and creamy sauce. I’ve been addicted to delicata squash lately, so I was thrilled to find another way to serve it […]

Recipe Shout-Out: Curry Meatballs with Tomato-Coconut Sauce
On Day 3 of my Whole30, I mentioned I had this dish for dinner, courtesy of Mark’s Daily Apple. I thought I’d give it a proper shout-out here and provide a few details of my experience.

Recipe Shout-Out: Sweet Potato Muffins
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.

Recipe Shout-Out: Damn Fine Chicken!
Oh yes. You heard me. With a title like that, how could I resist? Thank you, Nom Nom Paleo. That is indeed some damn fine chicken. Sorry for the one silly photo, but we were having camera malfunctions that night. Of course, I can never leave well-enough alone, so I had to tamper a bit. […]

Recipe Shout-Out: Grilled Tuna Salade Niçoise
This one is just too amazing to keep to myself, thank you Epicurious.com (here, and P.S.—Be sure to click on the link in the recipe to “boiling salted water” and read the reviews there). I make this at least once a summer when all of this is seasonally available at my Farmers’ Market. And surprisingly, […]

Recipe: Grilled Pork Chops w/ Mustard-Herb Sauce and Sweet Potato Fries
I confess. The sauce recipe is from Mark Sisson’s The Primal Blueprint Cookbook, with a few minor tweaks. It looked too good to pass up, and besides, I was looking for something new for my pork chops. But I gave it my own spin by using it as a sauce rather than a marinade. I […]

Recipe Shout-Out: Primal Blueprint’s Primal Hot Cereal
Or non-cereal. Cereal-approximation. “Cereal.” Noatmeal? You get the idea. Mark Sisson’s and Jennifer Meier’s new Primal Blueprint Quick and Easy Meals cookbook is out and I’m loving the creative breakfast offerings. The Primal Hot Cereal is a wonderful morning option when you’re tapped out on eggs. This happens to me often, and usually, I just […]
