From the Book > Cheese Crackers (We made a boo boo)
This recipe is in the snacks section of Primal Cravings, on page 196, except it doesn’t say “1/2 teaspoon baking soda”. I am mortified and so, so sorry. Ink is so very much more permanent than pixels on a screen. Oy vey. See what had happened was… Our editor gave us the good news that…

Barbecued Zombie Skin
I’m not sure you could convince any child (or most adults) that barbecue kale chips are better than Halloween candy, but calling them Zombie Skin sure can’t hurt the cause. I initially tried using seaweed paper, but that didn’t taste too hot. This title sure is gonna sound weird once it’s past Halloween. I guess…

Salted Chocolate Pears
We just got back from the OPTathalon in San Diego, where we got to hang out at CrossFit Invictus, and where I was repeatedly heckled for the use of the word “y’all” in my everyday vocabulary. Who knew that was such a weird word. Anyway… These pears are super addictive. I’m not a chocolate fan–I…

Guacamole Bacon Stuffed Pepper Poppers
Late nights in college were often capped off with a trip to Sonic Drive-In. I craved Cheddar Poppers–jalapeños stuffed with cheese and deep fried. If you’ve ever tried to make pepper poppers at home, you know that a jalapeño is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to bite into…a mild, tame…

Crispy Shiitake Mushroom Chips
My little sister hates mushrooms. She’ll eat an onion like an apple, but won’t touch a mushroom. I know they’re not the same thing, but still…I don’t get it. She happened to stop by our house when I was pulling these babies out of the oven. I tore off a piece the size of a…

Roasted Balsamic Acorn Squash
Oh my gosh, I love this squash. I wish I could pick the pieces off the screen and put them into my mouth. I miss it. I was literally scraping every last bit of squash into my mouth. It wasn’t pretty. Ingredients 1 acorn squash extra virgin olive oil salt & pepper red pepper/chili flakes…

Pecan Pie Butter & Ants on a Leaf
Pea-can? Pa-cahn? D-licious. Here’s a recipe for nut butter with a nice twist on what you can find commercially available. And what to do with it..besides inhaling it out of the jar with a spoon? We’ve got you covered there as well. Ants on a Leaf…a fall flavored rendition of your favorite marching insect snack.…

Paleo Fried Chicken Skin
I really love pork rinds & cracklings, but it’s next to impossible to find any commercial brands that source foraging piggies. Make my own, you say? I’ve tried that, but it just takes so darn long. When those salty snack cravings hit, sometimes you want instant gratification. I got the idea while I was braising…

Upcycled Paleo Teriyaki Beef Jerky
Upcycling is hipster speak for reusing your trash. I made a pineapple salsa one night (No, I’m not posting the recipe. The web is stuffed full of recipes for it. You don’t need another one from me.), and decided to “upcycle” the scraps from the recipe. Most (if not all) recipes for jerky say, “Only…

Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Peaches
Brandon and I got home late from the gym the night that the CrossFit Games started. Dinner needed to be  something I could throw together rather quickly, so we could watch the live stream. This recipe is based on the classic paring of cantaloupe or honey dew melon and prosciutto. Didn’t  have any of that,…

GOBlin Deviled Eggs
We’re headed to Banff, Alberta, Canada (Is that how you write it?) until the end of the week. This recipe was a dinner+breakfast smashup inspired by our need for speed. I was hoping we could eat a few eggs for dinner and then pop the rest in our mouths as we head to the airport…
-
Corned Beef Brisket Jerky
I love corned beef brisket, but it’s rarely stocked in my grocery store. Thankfully, St. Pat’s brings out the corned beef like Easter brings out the spiral ham. So when I see it, I always pick up a few. We made this last year, but I think this year–we totally ‘brought it’ for a Paleo…

Paleo Pizza Bites
This recipe is for all the Paleo kids out there (young + old alike). Growing up, whenever I’d have a spend-the-night or slumber party, my mom would make pizza dough and take us shopping for toppings. We’d spend the rest of the early evening stretching the dough and topping our pizzas. It was soooo fun…to…

Paleo Bacon, Egg & (Optional) Cheese Biscuit
Can you tell we were inspired? Sweet, salty, crispy, gooey. I truly think I could live off of this for the rest of my life… Yield: 4 breakfast sandwiches Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 4 egg whites 5 T cold butter, cut into chunks 1 t baking powder 1/2 t salt 4 pieces of speck,…

Smoked, Deviled Eggs
Salmon, capers, red onion and boiled egg, it’s a classic 80’s combo…like Salt N Pepa or Vanilla and Ice. We’ve been eating chopped egg and onion with lemon over smoked salmon for a while. Then it just clicked–do it deviled style, so now all the flavors are wrapped up in a handy, take anywhere package.…

Paleo Maple Almond Butter Snack Packs
Dear Justin, We don’t know who you are but your nut butters are delicious. However, we keep bulk almond butter on hand at all times and use it in many ways. It appeared prudent to us to use this bulk butter to create a squeezable nut-dulgence of our own. We must give credit where credit…

Paleo Italian Sub Roll-Up
We wanted to call this, Paleo Italian Sub Mariner–the Rolex of Paleo subs. But alas, often times we think we’re very funny when others do not. Most Paleo, low-carb sandwiches use the lettuce as the “bread”–that makes no sense since lettuce breaks and tears so easily. So–why not use the meat, the most flexible component…

Cocoa Roast Almonds
Who doesn’t like Emerald Cocoa Roast Almonds? Maybe you haven’t read the nutrition label, maybe you have. Let me inform you these babies are sweetened with sucralose–the ambiguous name for Splenda. Like we posted on Crash Course on Sugar, Splenda is a calorie-free sweetener BECAUSE we cannot digest it–read diarrhea and the likes. So yes,…

Sweet Potato Post Workout Shake
Brandon competed in the NC/ SC CrossFit Sectionals this past March (and did REALLY well, I am extremely proud of him). At the event, they were selling sweet potato shakes to the crowd. We didn’t try one simply because they only took cash and I had zero dollars in my pockets. Who carries cash anymore?…

Rosemary Cashews
Boy do I ever get bored with trail mix. Yeah, it’s easy to throw together, but if I’m tired of it, I’m not going to eat it. That’s our entire philosophy behind this website anyway, Paleo chili, every night, is no way to sustain this way of eating. It just gets boring. Hopefully, these nuts…
