I recently embarked upon a month of hardcore paleo living because it makes me feel better and I had plateaued in my post-baby weight loss. One of the things that I find is that I am hungry more frequently since I am not filling myself up with bulky grains. I decided that I could no longer leave… Continue reading Make Your Own Beef Jerky, Save Money, and Enjoy it More!
One of the unexpected things in my life is the desire to increase my breast milk production. It is so irksome to me to have to feed my child an artificial supplement. Beside relieving stress which turns out to be impossible, there are a few things recommended out there for the nursing mother: mother’s milk… Continue reading Lactation Cookies
Sometimes you need to make dinner for a group that night without planning or when you have a long day at work or away from home, or you have to bring a dish to a potluck when you are really busy all around the event and do not have time for shopping or really even… Continue reading Easy Slow Cooker Chili
Some days are easier than others. You may have started the day thinking you would grill chicken to end up grazing popcorn and macaroni and cheese. That is how Sunday went. Admittedly, it was oil popped popcorn with no adds chemicals and my creamy homemade gluten-free macaroni and cheese with bacon add, but still not… Continue reading Best Barbecue Chicken in the Slow Cooker
I have been craving sweets lately probably in large part because I am cutting bread back out of my diet in preparation for thirty days of paleo goodness. No, this will not be a paleo-only blog. Yes, it will feature paleo recipes as it has from the beginning. I will endeavor to post non-paleo versions… Continue reading Paleo Chocolate Chunk Cookies
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)
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
Another goody from Pinching Paleo, are my Maple Bacon Waffles adapted from Ashley Holmes’ Paleo Belgian Waffles (Cook Like a Cavewoman). This is how to learn to cook really… find recipes that sound good, make them or adapt them, make note of what you liked and did not while you are honing your technique, and next… Continue reading Paleo Maple Bacon Waffles
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
