I’ll cut to the chase with the quick version: Epic Bars. YUM. Get some. Now, for the details. The best way to describe Epic Bars is like tasty, meaty bars with a hint of fruit for sweetness and nuts for crunch and texture. It reminded me of taking what I love about jerky packs – … Continue reading »
Growing up, we used to eat BLT sandwiches a lot and the other day I got a hankering for one, sans bread of course. What resulted was nothing short of the tastiest thing I’d put in my mouth in a long while. I used mini muffin tins* but you could use regular tins and end … Continue reading »
Usually I have recipe writer’s block. The harder I try to think of something to make, the more I can’t. It’s those times when I buy random ingredients and get home to my pantry and fridge that inspiration strikes. What the heck?! My local market had wild-caught shrimp on sale, which I couldn’t resist, and … Continue reading »
I have this thing about getting my hands sloppy and messy with finger food. It kind of freaks me out, and I’m not sure why. Back in college, I was a cake decorator at a local grocery store chain, and getting frosting all over my hands would make me come undone. True story. Luckily, these … Continue reading »

I stopped by the local Whole Foods yesterday after stalking looking up the calendar of my favorite food truck, Not So Fast Food. The owners, Bob and June, 1) cook some damn tasty food; 2) completely get the Paleo … Continue reading »
Holy cow, guys! After I put this dish in the oven on Sunday afternoon, I had to go down the street to the market for a couple ingredients for another recipe. I came back 15 minutes later to the most amazing smells wafting out of my apartment. This takes a bit more time than my … Continue reading »
One skillet breakfast: brown shredded sweet potatoes in butter / ghee / fat of choice. Push to the side and sautee a Paleo-friendly sausage (I sliced mine down the middle) until cooked. Then add a couple handfuls of spinach on top and cook until wilted. So easy!
Fancy schmancy meat thermometers are cool and all, but what about those instances where you just don’t have one? Who, when they’re going camping, says, “Honey, we should bring the meat thermometer!” Who calls a friend to make sure there will be one at the next barbeque? The point is that it’s easy to test … Continue reading »
