Steak with Sherry, Mushroom Cream Gravy
Some of you may remember the SousVide contest a few months back. Well, we didn’t win, but they asked if we would be interested in keeping it if we’d post a couple recipes using the machine. I know 99.9% of people in the world don’t have one of these contraptions, but don’t click off of…

Turkey Meatballs with Spiced Apple Chutney
It’s like winter is in my belly. Think chicken apple sausage turned inside out. Ingredients For the Meatballs 1 lb ground turkey (preferably the fattier grind or you may need to add a few tablespoons of oil) 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic 1 teaspoon dehydrated onion flakes 1 teaspoon garam masala 1 teaspoon salt For the…

Chipotle Slaw
I love mayonnaise. Well…I don’t love it enough to eat it out of the jar by the spoonful (I also can’t eat almond or coconut butter by the spoonful..not a big fan of that stuff on its own.), but I’m not ashamed of the extensive amount of mayo slathering, mayo dipping and just general mayo…

Double Bacon Caesar
I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll say it again, I am not a fan of salad, unless it’s coated and covered in tasty treats and dressing. The “Paleo” part of me feels guilty about this, as it seems like an integral meal that’s part of everyone’s Paleo diet, except mine (and Brandon’s by…

Curry Honey Mustard
I strongly believe that quick, throw together sauces like this help make a quick Paleo meal possible. Grilled chicken (my most un-favorite of all), steak or fish quickly becomes extremely boring–one reason many people have a hard time “being” Paleo. But when you mix together a few pantry/fridge staples, any main protein can be new and…

Protein Pesto
This is my version of a classic French dish called anchoiade that I’ve mashed together with a version of another classic recipe, pesto. Anchovies are the star here, but don’t be grossed out just yet. Though I have always been a fan of the anchovy, as long as I’ve known Brandon, he has always equated…

Chopped Salad with Bacon Honey Mustard
It was one of those nights where nothing had been planned for dinner and we’re both scratching our heads at 9 p.m. wondering what we’re going to eat (and which one of us was going to pull kitchen duty). I always keep some hard boiled eggs in the fridge and if there isn’t bacon in…

Cinco de Mayo-nnaise
Happy Cinco de Mayo-nnaise day! Instead of posting margaritas and nacho recipes (although, we are working on the latter), we decided to discuss mayonnaise; how it’s made and what you can do with it. It is NOT hard and does NOT take long. Please don’t be afraid. Store bought mayonnaise is quite tasty, but unfortunately,…

Bacon Mayonnaise
You can find lots of Paleo recipes for making your own mayo, but they mainly use coconut oil or olive oil. That’s some expensive stuff. So it got me thinking– how about utilizing a nourishing fat source that most people throw away? Cheap, resourceful and easy–who doesn’t like that? Ingredients 1/2 c liquid (but NOT…

Roasted Marinara
Everyone buys tomatoes with the hopes that their texture is luscious and their flesh is fruity. But we never really know what’s hiding inside that glossy, gorgeous skin…looks are often deceiving (sounds like a couple people I know). Well, I recently bought some really, really crappy tomatoes (But really, what was I expecting in January?).…
