{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 […]

{Bakin’ Bacon}

November 4, 2010 by Joey

As I type this, my mouth is already beginning to water. I must look something like my dog, Hitch, just before I put his dinner bowl down. He gazes up at me with wide, hopeful eyes… his teeth glisten with saliva, and he licks his lips incessantly to keep from drooling. But we can’t help it, Hitch and I… it’s just natural that when your body knows it’s about to get something so tasty, so meaty and delicious, that the […]

{Pot Roast “Onion Soup” from Scratch}

October 25, 2010 by Joey

When I posted my Crock Pot Pot Roast recently, I asked for any feedback regarding good seasonings for this slow-roasted delightful dish. An overwhelming response came my way that pretty much everyone loves a good old classic marinade of Onion Soup Mix. My big concern with this dried soup-in-a-box mix was that there were several other chemicals in addition to the natural flavors in there, and I don’t want to eat that crap if I can avoid it. So what’s […]

{Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder}

October 5, 2010 by Joey

If you haven’t been to the Whole 9 Life website yet, it’s definitely a spot you’ll want to frequent. Melissa and Dallas do what they can to bring you the latest and greatest Paleo information, and one of my favorite features of the 9-Blog is their “Steal this Meal” recipes submitted by their readers. Not too long ago, my mouth watered over the ingredients for their featured Crockpot Carnitas from Lydia Ash. Her recipe called for the use of Pork Ribs, but […]

{Crock Pot Pot Roast}

September 10, 2010 by Joey

I feel the need to start this recipe post with a disclaimer. I have only used a crock pot 4 times in my entire life. Yep. The secret’s out. And to top it off? Each of those times took place within the last 3 weeks. So, while I am mighty proud of this pot roast recipe, and it’s a newfound favorite in our household, I am sure the crock pot gurus out there might have some suggestions to add. So […]

{Pumpkin Pie Spice}

September 8, 2010 by Joey

Fall couldn’t have had better timing. Jake and I snuck away for a few days, enjoyed a bit of sunshine and down time, and upon returning home, the Fall weather seemed to follow us with a quite abrupt end to Summer. But, I’m not complaining. I love the Fall in Seattle. As a photographer, it’s a near perfect time of year where it’s not too cool to shoot outside, but I can do so in comfort, with perfectly filtering overcast […]
