Recipe: Grilled Sausage, Zucchini, Mushrooms, and Onions w/ Feta

06/17/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 3 Comments

This is kinda like a grilled melange salad. Everything goes over flames together and the bonding experience leads to a tasty meal. I used a local ranch’s (Willow-Witt) goat sausage with pistachios for this. Incredible. But the simple flavors here will go with many sausage options, particularly anything with a Mediterranean flair. Think olives, basil, […]

Recipe: Sesame-Wasabi Grilled Tuna on Arugula

06/15/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 0 Comments

Tuna is a fantastic choice for the grill. It’s a meaty, oily fish that stays together well, as long as you don’t overcook it. It’s versatile. And it’s satisfying in a way that some lighter fish just can’t be without a lot of gussying up. I was ready for a change of pace, especially since […]

My husband knows this and is okay with me telling you: if I could have married shrimp, I would’ve. Me and shrimp go way back, it’s been one of my favorite foods since I can remember. But the breaded shrimp of my youth has been replaced with more sophisticated adult renditions. But sophisticated doesn’t have […]

Recipe: Turnip, Radish, Avocado Salad

Here’s a simple and delicious salad that highlights some rather humble vegetables. I’ll even give you three—that’s right, THREE!—salad dressing options so you can adapt it to the feng shui of your main course. The crunch of these root veggies is a wonderful contrast to meat dishes, especially with the heat of summer upon us. […]

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 […]

Yes, indeed, necessity is the mother of invention. I’m usually prepared with dinner options, but sometimes, I open the fridge and think “Doh!” Maybe I forgot to thaw the ground bison or I’m fresh out of coconut milk for the curry. But without those lapses in preparedness, I’d never come up with wack-a-doodle random recipes […]

Recipe: Steak Salad w/ Lime-Cumin Yogurt Dressing

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 […]

Entertaining? Some Primal-Friendly Ideas

06/01/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 0 Comments

I’ve had several nights of entertaining in a row, and while I’m freshly tapped out of original recipes, I thought I’d share what fed the throngs of visitors we’ve had recently. All of these menus were relatively simple and I doubt anyone would even miss the grains or sugars. Also have to apologize for the […]

Recipe: Grilled Garlic-Rosemary Lamb Chops

05/30/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 2 Comments

I’ve got a fever. And the only prescription is more grilling! We live in lamb country here in Oregon. Something about rolling green hills requires sheep (see also: Ireland, Great Britain, New Zealand). It’s also springtime, which means it’s lamb season. And I’m grateful because it’s such a nice change-up from whatever the culinary status […]

My neighbors must think I’m crazy, but anytime the sun peeks out for a nanosecond between cloudbursts, I’m out there on the back deck grilling. Soon, we’ll have nothing but months of sunshine, but until then, I’m taking advantage of every sunbeam I get. I had some amazing Moroccan-spiced goat sausages in the freezer, so […]
