Easy Dutch Oven Balsamic Chicken Marsala

Easy Dutch Oven Balsamic Chicken Marsala

One-Pot with a flavor shortcut… As of late I have been working on a slew of new paleo sauces for my upcoming book, One Pot Paleo. These sauces often involve simmering for a while and sometimes an immersion blender. Understanding that not everyone has the time (or desire) to whip up their own paleo sauces, I reached out to Steve’s PaleoGoods to check out their PaleoChef line of paleo-friendly sauces and dressings. One of the first flavors I tried was the tomato balsamic dressing, which was beyond...
Review: Nom Nom Paleo’s Food For Humans

Review: Nom Nom Paleo’s Food For Humans

Image stolen with love directly from their site. We all knew it had to happen. Michelle Tam of NomNomPaleo.com fame, has cooked and cursed her way into our hearts and bellies, and now she can adorn your bookshelf. I hear ya: “WHAT?! Another Paleo cookbook!” Oh yes, but you’ll want this one. Besides, it has one of those cool fabric bookmarky thingies like all the big hardbacks of yore. Fancy! What’s clear from the beginning is how much of a labor of love this was ...

8 Ways to Beat a Craving

Cravings can spell trouble for the most committed of healthy eaters. It’s viciously hard to hold up under the all-consuming drive to eat that makes your mouth start watering just imaging the food you want. And even if you can struggle through it once, could you keep doing it forever?... The post 8 Ways to Beat a Craving appeared first on Paleo Leap | Paleo diet Recipes & Tips.
Aloha Kabobs

Aloha Kabobs

As a single gal, I only have to worry about cooking for myself. It had been too long since I had made kabobs and I was just really craving some grilled pineapple. I was at Fresh & Easy (a Southern California grocery store) and I found the gluten-free aisle. I was hoping  there would be some sort of magical marinade that would fit in to my paleo regime. I was in luck. I discovered this marinade / dressing that is pretty close! I just needed to use a little to ...

Food Writing This Week: Sous Vide, Pastry, & More

Since I was named the editor of the Food & Drink Section at Chicagoist, I haven't had as much time to blog here. A lot my writing there isn't going to be particularly interesting unless you live in Chicago, but I have a scattering of pieces that might appeal to a broader audience I will highlight here from time to time with commentary. 

Ankylosing Spondylitis‎ Greatly Diminishing!

Testimonial written by: Montana Mike Hey everybody, First off, here’s a little back ground info on myself. As I was growing up in a family of five, it was obvious that I was the one who was always trying to be the “healthiest.” I was very active, I was playing high school soccer, weightlifting, backpacking and running long distances. And I never even really considered that proper nutrition was vital to fuel those activities. I just abided by the food pyramid with the majority of my food ...

4 Week Coffee Fast

I used to never be a coffee drinker. For my first job at the age of 16, I worked at Bagel Beanery. After 3 years that included a year of being an assistant manager, I quit to have more time to sell Nintendo Wii’s on eBay. I hated coffee at the time. The smell was delicious but the taste was bland. Fast forward a few years and I decided to like coffee. Then I loved it. I especially loved Kona coffee. I mean, I did recently live in Hawaii from the...
New Recipe! Roasted Pork Fajita Salad with Coconut Lime Dressing

New Recipe! Roasted Pork Fajita Salad with Coconut Lime Dressing

Normal restaurant fajitas are not Paleo due to the tortillas, dairy, and vegetable oils they’re normally cooked in. But that doesn’t mean you don’t get a craving for one once in awhile. This Roasted Pork Fajita Salad made with tender roasted pork and vegetables is topped with a creamy coconut dressing that does a wonderful job of complementing the spices. You can use any type of salad green you like here; crunchy Romaine is nice, or you can use a dark leafy green if that’s more your style. You...
The Paleo Kitchen Book Tour in San Diego Today!

The Paleo Kitchen Book Tour in San Diego Today!

We’ve hit three cities so far on our book tour and now we are in San Diego, CA! We started our book tour in Colorado, then headed to Seattle, then drove to Portland, then hopped on a plane yesterday and went to San Diego! Portland was amazing, even with the gloomy and rainy weather. It reminds me a lot of Colorado, but even more gluten free friendly restaurants and food trucks. I was bummed I only got to be there for about 14 hours, but it was totally worth it. ...

Quick and Easy Liverwurst

Quick and Easy Liverwurst

I love beef liver and I love chicken liver but until we purchased ½ a hog, I had not knowingly had pork liver.  I was sure that I would like it, but boy, was I wrong.  I cooked a small portion of it the same way I often cook beef liver (quickly fried with some […]

Just Got My Copy of "Paleo Grilling – A Modern Caveman’s Guide to Cooking with Fire"!

Can I get a Woot Woot?!Last Summer I partnered with a local chef to create a book that seemed so obvious I couldn't understand how it hadn't already been done.The concept?Paleo Grilling.Meat, fire, cavemen, it all just goes together so well.During the months that followed, we rubbed a few brain cells together, rubbed a few sticks together, almost caught ourselves on fire (not really) and managed to get this thing done.This was my first "legit" book project and I truly didn't know what to ...

A very shrimpy new year

A very shrimpy new year

Hello little blog, how have you been? I've been busy moving and visiting family over the holidays, but now I'm ready to get back to updating you. In fact, my only resolution this year is actually to blog more often! So let's get to it.I found a nice looking bag of frozen, unpeeled shrimp at my new grocery store (since moving I've swapped a Whole Foods for a Wegman's) and decided what the heck - I don't do a lot of seafood, but I always feel like I should, and ...
Homebirth: As paleo as it gets

Homebirth: As paleo as it gets

I feel like homebirth has been getting a lot of bad press lately. It seems like much of what is being reported on is based on poorly researched and biased studies. While homebirth is not for everyone, it can be a safe choice for many low risk women and their families. Study after study have demonstrated homebirth, when planned and attended by a Registered Midwife, is safe for low risk women.Waterbirth is also safe when attended by trained midwives. Here's a link to the recent debate floating around the ...
