Ooooh these cookies. They have almost become known as "THE Cookies" over the years. They are by far one of the best cookies I've ever eaten. The name of them is quite long, so maybe the nickname The Cookies works out well. Or PB-3C Cookies? I don't know that might sound a little too much like "PVC pipe" to me. Or maybe I've just been spending too much time doing Crossfit. Over Valentine's/President's Day weekend we had some friends coming to … [Read more...]

Caesar Lover’s Salad Dressing
When I really like a food, I latch onto it for a while. I eat it all the time, as if I have blinders on and I don't see other things on the menu or in my fridge. Caesar salad is the perfect example of this. I've always loved it and I always ordered it in restaurants growing up. The two restaurants that served my favorites were Figlio and Lindey's. Figlio's was more of a vinaigrette type dressing, had nice thick grated parm, and good … [Read more...]

Un-Buns
Primal. Nut free. Grain Free. Flour free. How do you make sturdy, fluffy, pliable buns out of whole food ingredients? EGGS! That's right, the main ingredient that takes traditional processed sandwich buns and turns them into UN-buns is eggs. The egg is so darn versatile. These rolls, do need a bit of dairy though or they just don't work the same way. So far in my attempts without diary, the rolls were crumbly and didn't quite hold … [Read more...]
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Ever wondered the difference between baking powder and baking soda? How do you know when to use which? Here's a little food science 101 for you. Baking soda should be used in recipes that also have an acid added to it. When baking soda comes in contact with an acid like lemon juice, vinegar, or buttermilk (which is really just milk + an acid) it becomes activated, giving off gas … [Read more...]

Apple Breakfast Sausage
When I was training for my Ironman Triathlon in 2009, I was focused on trying to incorporate more protein into my diet. This was because after a self-analysis of my diet, I found I was not eating near enough protein. The easiest and quickest way I found to add protein to breakfast was to have this … [Read more...]
Chocolate Raspberry Muffins
To close out Chocolate Week, why not chocolate for breakfast? After all, cocoa has anti-aging properties, antioxidants (two times more than touted superfood acai), calcium, iron, and magnesium. It's been known to be energizing, mood stimulating, a mild central nervous system stimulant, increasing of serotonin levels, rich in polyphenols (help reduce bad cholesterol), and … [Read more...]
Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies
Chocolate Week (in honor of Valentine's Day this Friday) continues today with Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies! These meringue cookies are not your traditional cookie. They're, as titled, a sort of meringue which is egg white and sugar. So in the same family, if you will, as macaroons and one of my Aussie favorites: pavlovas. Generally, they're incredibly … [Read more...]

With Valentine's day on Friday, I'm declaring this week at Paleo Paisan Chocolate Week. Three recipes this week... all with chocolate. To start us off, I have my Fudgy Brownie Bites.

Baked Cauliflower “Fried” Rice
I've been doing a lot of traveling lately and in an airport while walking from gate to gate, I got a whiff of Chinese food. Ever since, I couldn't get the craving out of my head for some sweet orange chicken and fried rice. The day after arriving back home, this recipe was born. … [Read more...]
Leftover Frittata
My husband and I arrived off the red-eye to stay at my parents' for a long weekend. It was time for breakfast when we arrived home. Moving to a paleo diet can be very foreign to a non-paleo'er so when I pulled out the left overs from my parent's dinner the night before around 9 am my mom was surprised, but happy she had something that we could eat. She had made Autumn Vegetables and Butter Roasted Turkey Breasts. I repurposed them for … [Read more...]
