Breakfast is Back! Easy Egg Recipe

April 2013 Egg Cassarole

Eating breakfast is something that I have a love / hate relationship with. I like breakfast foods but don't like having to wake up earlier in order to cook and eat breakfast - I'd rather sleep an extra twenty minutes and fast until noon or throw some grass-fed butter and coconut oil into the blender along with my coffee to start my day. So this week I brought breakfast back in my house, and decided to go back to making the weekly baked egg casserole that I used to make when I was eating … [Read more...]

Fish Cakes Recipe and How to Eat Sardines without Tasting Them

Fish Cakes (2)

Sardines are one of those super foods that are excellent for you, chock full of great anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats.  They are also a food that elicits a gag-reflex in a lot of people....sardines, eww! I finally bought my first can of sardines, and when I peeled back the lid, did the same thing, ewww....at least they didn't have the heads on them!  But taking a look at the filets with the skin still on, I had no idea how I was going to get these things down.  Enter a recipe from … [Read more...]

Next Dinner Party…Amaze Your Guests with Paleo Osso Buco

Paleo Banana Bread….made in my Blentec blender!

Banana Bread (2)

Well almost entirely made in the blender.  On my Facebook page I had posted about the Costco deal on a Blentec (PS if you haven't already, go on over to my page and Like me!) and how great it is for many different things.  This weekend I tried out a Paleo banana bread recipe and instead of using an electric mixer, I decided to go start to finish with the blender.  It started because my bananas we're overripe, so they weren't mashing as much as I wanted and figured that throwing them in the … [Read more...]

Warm Winter Comfort Food – Paleo Shepard’s Pie

Paleo Shepards Pie (2)

Although here on the east coast of Pennsylvania it's not actually THAT cold, I was flipping through one of my favorite Paleo cookbooks, Well Fed by Melissa Joulwan and saw the recipe for Shepard's pie.  I don't think I've ever eaten traditional Shepard's pie but taking a look at the ingredients it intrigued me so I decided to give it a try.  I have never attempted the mashed cauliflower recipe before, and that was something I thought might be fun to see how it tasted - could I get … [Read more...]
