Review: Paleo Indulgences

09/20/2012 by PaleoPeriodical 5 Comments

I love going to the mailbox. You just never know what’s lurking in there. So imagine my surprise to find a cookbook that wasn’t even available to the general public yet! It was like Christmas in September. But let me back up for a second. I do some marketing work, so I’ve been watching Paleo’s […]

Makin’ Bacon: Part 2

04/26/2012 by julezig 3 Comments

Let’s imagine that we have a time machine and 7-10 days have passed and not just two. You followed the directions for curing the pork belly and it’s been hanging out in your fridge with you flipping it every other day. Now it’s time to smoke it. But you don’t have a smoker. What to […]

Makin’ Bacon: Part 1

04/24/2012 by julezig 5 Comments

Hey guys! Good to see you again. It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Since Karen had to go and take a little vacation, I thought I’d stop by and tell you all about my recent adventure of making my own bacon. Oh yes, you heard me right. I made my own bacon. And not in that […]

Do or Do Not, There is No Try.

I’m about to get all Yoda on you. I’ve talked about a few of these topics before, but they’re coming together in my mind and have been reemerging frequently. So welcome to my stream-of-consciousness. We are a species hell bent on duality: this, not that. I am me, you are you. I like this, I […]

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Whole30.

09/29/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 12 Comments

Wow, that came up quick. Let’s all have a moment of silence for 2011′s September, because it had a short, fast life. October is coming, and I’m on the record as saying that I would start a Whole30 in October (see details here). So why am I so worried? Well, you should know this about […]

Quick Link: Pan Sauces

09/19/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 4 Comments

The San Francisco Chronicle has a piece today about making pan sauces out of the leftover tasty bits left in the pan after sautéing a hunk of meat. Two of the recipes there contain flour, though I suspect the first one with cod could be subbed out for coconut or almond flour. But it’s the […]

Quick Link: Laboratory Meat

08/31/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 3 Comments

Just saw this from NPR about the efforts to grow meat in test tubes. I’m guessing you just gagged like I did. And apparently, more than one laboratory had this brilliant idea. There’s one in the Netherlands and one in North Carolina working on this “problem”. Okay, lets couch our disgust for a moment and […]

Primal Travel

08/02/2011 by julezig 2 Comments

I’m a person who doesn’t sit still very well and that often translates into a travel bug. Between my desire to see new places, visit family and travel for work, I’m generally on a plane once a month. I love experiencing new places, cultures and food but when I went primal 5 months ago I […]

David Sedaris Eats China

07/19/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 0 Comments

I lurve David Sedaris. I fondly remember reading Me Talk Pretty Someday, laughing hysterically with tears streaming down my face, and my husband looking at me like I had lost my mind. So I was thrilled to come across a piece of his about a trip to China and his thoughts on the food (here). […]

Recipe: Classico Almond Flour Crust Pizza

07/18/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 4 Comments

I found this crust recipe here, and found it to be very versatile. This is great three ways: pat it out thick for breadsticks brushed with garlic butter, roll it out for pizza crust, or roll it out thin for flatbread. It’s cheesy, herby, and delicious. This is as close as you can get to […]
