{Caesarlicious}

January 15, 2012 by Joey

One of the things we have missed most from our past life involving processed food is Caesar Salad. It seemed that only great-tasting caesar dressings existed in restaurants or bottles on the grocery store shelf. Inspired this past Thanksgiving to track down a delicious home-made recipe (quality control, you know), Jake found one that was a hit for us and all his family too. It involved coddling an egg, which was a term I’d never heard before, and a few […]

{Simple Steak Sauce}

September 12, 2011 by Joey

Hi Friends! I hope you have been having a wonderful summer! While I certainly have been enjoying the Seattle sun these past few weeks, I must admit that I am very much looking forward to Autumn’s arrival. I have been craving a big dose of overcast skies, cooler air, and the perfect excuse to pull my beanie hats and Ugg boots from the closet… Jake and I have been eating a lot of the same things around here lately (which […]

{Date Night Pizza}

June 17, 2011 by Joey

I was trying to think of something genius to call this recipe, but couldn’t find any great adjectives that began with the letter P (I like a bit of alliteration). I suppose just posting pizza at all on a paleo-friendly site is crafty enough… but as soon as I thought of this title, I knew it was absolutely perfect. I call it… Date Night Pizza. Why, you might ask? It’s attractive… It smells delicious… It tastes absolutely mouth-watering… It fulfills […]

{Grilled Asparagus}

May 18, 2011 by Joey

While I am certain Jake and I are not the first people to ever grill their veggies, we stumbled upon this means of cooking by accident. We invited some of our family over for dinner last night and were planning to roast Cilantro-Lime Chicken and asparagus. I had planned on roasting everything together, until I realized that only the chicken was going to fit in the oven. Oops. So, Jake suggested we grill the asparagus instead. Sounded good to me, […]

{Fried Eggplant}

February 18, 2011 by Joey

The only encounter I have had in my entire life with an eggplant was that of my sorority sister’s car during college. Because of its aubergine color, we referred to it as The Eggplant. More recently, I was watching Buddy’s new Kitchen Boss show and became inspired to try the veggie for the first time ever. Although many of Buddy’s family recipes contain pasta, dough or bread, he also has a lot of dishes featuring fresh protein and veggies. And […]

{Paleo Breadcrumbs}

February 17, 2011 by Joey

I hesitate to call these “paleo” breadcrumbs because they do involve a bit of cheese (see my last post for why) and I know that the paleo enthusiasts of the world will be all up in arms because dairy is a firm no-no food to those just starting paleo or participating in the Whole 30 program. So, be a grown-up. If you don’t want the cheese, just take it out! Breadcrumbs can be used in a variety of ways, from […]

{Seattle Style Short Ribs}

February 9, 2011 by Joey

Mmm. Coffee. Even if you’re not a coffee drinker, you can’t deny that the smell alone makes you weak in the knees. And if you can deny that? Well, I’m sorry, but we probably can’t be friends. In this recipe, the union of coffee and chile powder bring a subtle, smoky flavor to the short ribs. They’re not spicy, they’re not overly seasoned, and they’re rich without being rich. The bonus of braising short ribs is that you’re cooking the […]

{Green Eggs and Ham}

November 12, 2010 by Joey

Jake and I spotted this recipe on Mark’s Daily Apple awhile back and thought we’d give it a try. We tweaked it a bit for our own personal preferences, and found it to be quite delicious, and definitely worth sharing with you! Having hard-boiled eggs on hand can be a lifesaver if you need protein in a pinch, and combining it with the tasty fatty avocado makes it super-satisfying. The rest of the ingredients just make it more fun :) […]

{Oh My Goulash!}

November 11, 2010 by Joey

I had the TV on the Food Network the other day in the background, and Guy Fieri was cooking up a goulash recipe. It sounded scary. Goulash? I had no idea what a goulash even was. It is fun to say though. Say it with me… gooo-lash…. :) I was listening as Guy added ingredients, and got super excited when I heard it was all meat, veggies, spices and herbs. Paleo! It sounded so tasty, that I told Jake it […]

{Chili-Rubbed Steak over Cilantro-Lime Salad}

November 5, 2010 by Joey

This is a great recipe for a light & fulfilling salad. And you can never go wrong with a great steak. Never. We used grass-fed New York’s for this, but you can really use any cut you like. I was hoping to use a flank (they’re so big and make delicious leftovers), but grass-fed flank is hard to get a hold of these days. These New York cuts were quite delicious, thanks to Jake’s superb grilling skills! To prepare your […]
