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 »

Thai Coconut Soup (Tom Kha)
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?!

Test Doneness Without a Meat Thermometer
Fancy schmancy meat thermometers are cool and all, but what about those instances where you just don’t have one?

Smoky Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Thighs

Sure, there are rashers and even streaky bacon (which looks like American bacon) but nothing tastes quite the same. It doesn’t have any of the sugar normally added to the bacon in the States, but even the … Continue reading »
Leftover-Turkey Yellow Curry
Stupid Easy Paleo coming atcha from the beautiful city of Glasgow, Scotland! I’m here visiting for 3 weeks, enjoying the chill of winter (even saw the sun yesterday) and enjoying some R & R.
