After yet another long term plateau that led me to reevaluate my eating, I decided to make a three-pronged attack: Adjust portion size – I was eating too much and knew it. I have baggage from a feast or famine approach to food when I was growing up, and I can find myself getting competitive… Continue reading The Life Changing Chaffle
I love Pierogies. Like seriously. You can stuff them with many delectable fillings, but my favorite is cheddar and potato. I don’t bother putting onion inside them because I am going to top them with sautéed onions and sour cream. Both are traditional toppings and I cannot choose between them, so I don’t choose. Problem… Continue reading Paleo or Quick Pierogies
I love pancakes, but man they can be horrible. If they are too dense, they sit heavily in the belly, if too thin, they are flat and lifeless. I like a bit of rise to my pancake. A round bit of fluffy goodness. Paleo Pancakes are even harder and I have been trying everyone’s version.… Continue reading Pancakes – Paleo and Not
I eat a lot of bacon and eggs: fried, scrambled, frittata, omelette, quiche; on their own, in sandwiches, added to cheese grits… I could go on. I found myself wanting something different this fine Sunday morning, so I decided on poached eggs, but I didn’t feel like making Eggs Benedict of whatever variety came to… Continue reading Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce
I created these lovely morsels two years ago as part of French cooking weekend at the Wildwood. I was still very Paleo then instead of the cheater I have become. Coconut Friands (Dessert, Brunch, Potluck, Paleo, makes 24) 4 lg egg whites, room temperature (you have a lot of egg whites left over when… Continue reading Coconut Friands (aka Coconut MiniMuffins for which to die)
The Pink Full Moon is upon us. Pink because the first flowers of Spring are popping up and spreading their joy. Some of you may be celebrating with house cleaning, long walks out of doors, or with ritual and feasting. No matter your method of jubilation, you might consider ending it with the consumption of… Continue reading Honey Cakes
Here we have my absolute favorite paleo bread product recipe: Paleo Biscuits and Gravy, for when you want to be grain-free and still indulge your need for comfort food. I leaned heavily on the Primal Food Blog with these, barely changing their “Primal Biscuit Recipe, Take 2” and using their paleo roux from their gravy,… Continue reading Paleo Biscuits and Gravy
Yet another Paleo bread creation that I am pleased with is the Paleo English Muffin. I was really missing them with their dense yet try texture when I was a Paleo woman and did my best to invent one that would stand up to the standard uses (Eggs Benedict, Egg Sandwiches), and while I did not… Continue reading Paleo English Muffins
Yesterday (Saturday) I asked Papa Satyr if he would like breakfast, which he usually only eats on Sundays, but due to my bread post the other day, he said, “Yes, if your making eggie in a basket’.” As a matter of fact I was, also inspired by my bread post. Homemade bread is perfect for it… Continue reading Eggie in a Basket
For Ostara/Easter every year Papa Satyr and I watch the South Park episode, “Fantastic Easter Special” and dye eggs. This year, when I sought out decorating kits, Kroger did not have the Classic Paas set of my childhood, but an unknown to me set by Dudley. It said it came with dye tablets, a wax… Continue reading Scotch Eggs with Mustard Béarnaise Sauce
