Recipe: Dark Chocolate Sandwich Nibbles

03/15/2012 by PaleoPeriodical 3 Comments

Since I’m at Paleo F/X this week, I’m keeping it simple with the recipe, but I don’t think you’ll mind. You know how it goes. I know you do. Sure, sure. Here in the Paleo world we talk a lot about grass-fed beef and broccoli and greens and…omigawd, I fell asleep. Because sometimes you just […]

‘Tis the Season

12/20/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 3 Comments

Ah, the holidays. Though it may vary depending on where you live and what you believe, there are usually pine trees or pine tree pieces about, annoying holiday-themed pop music playing in stores, images of an old bearded man everywhere, or perhaps a menorah. My parents are both Episcopalians, and I was raised attending Midnight […]

Recipe: Almond Butter-Coconut Milk Parfait

Just because I’m whole30ing doesn’t mean I don’t like an occasional treat. This came to me one day and it’s been my go-to for dessert or a quick snack when needed. One of the loveliest things about this WOE is how it breaks down the psychological barriers we’ve built up in our minds about how […]

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

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. The oncoming fall season has put me into baking overdrive recently. I would put the brakes on it, but I’m […]

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

Recipes: Two Ideas for Salami

09/12/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 3 Comments

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.

Recipe: Primal Banana Bread

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 […]

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 […]

Couldya please finish this joke for me, I don’t have a punchline. *Ahem* Who needs bread getting in the way of all the yummy stuff anyway? These little rolls are packed with all the flavor of a sandwich or wrap, but without the […]
