Heirloom tomatoes are everywhere right now. The heat of summer has finally paid off in huge, bursting-at-the-seams glories in red, yellow, and green. If you’re in an area that favors beefsteak tomatoes, you’re in luck with this one. I found some Thai basil at the Farmers’ Market and knew I needed a recipe that used […]

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 […]

Oh yes. This is one bad mofo. I mean that in a good way. This was included in our pizza party (here) almost as a novelty. I’m not sure anyone actually expected to enjoy it, but we did. It just tasted good and was very satisfying. I think it was the main reason we could […]

It’s Pizza Week at The Paleo Periodical! It’s been over 6 months of Primal eating, and somehow we’ve made it this far without ever trying a Primal pizza. We decided to finally remedy that by having a pizza taste-off with our good friends, Heather and Brian, who we’ve conned into going Primal too. We thought […]

I have some OCD tendencies, and sometimes they serve me well in the kitchen. For example, I tend to get all feng shui about what elements go with what. If I’m serving an Asian-inspired main, then chances are, everything else—the salad, the side, the dessert, the drinks—will complement the theme. This burger build is a […]

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 […]

This one was too simple, I wasn’t going to post it. But I’ve been away on vacation to the coast for a few days and I haven’t had a chance to do my reading and keep up-to-date for the blog. So allow me a down day and I’ll give you a bonus recipe. It’s a […]

Well, kids, at this point it looks like most recipes going forward will be either a salad or a hunk of meat on the grill. It’s just that time of year. So here’s another lettuce-based dish for you. I don’t do much with ground beef beyond the expected: burgers, chili, lettuce-leaf tacos. Lately I’ve been […]

Whenever steak’s on the menu, I’ve started cooking more than I know we can eat. Steak leftovers will never go to waste in this house: steak n’ eggs, steak and avocado, steak stir-fry. It’s easily repurposed into something drool-worthy. Like this BAS. Dressing sound familiar? It is (here), but slightly retooled for the steak. I […]

Ain’t nothin’ more primal than a slab of beef and some peppers sizzled up in lard in a cast iron skillet. Bring it on. This can be simple and quick, or you can gussy it up for company. Either way, no one will miss the grains. If you were feeling generous toward the heathens, you […]
