Based on a menu offering from a restaurant I visited recently that was NOT paleo, this version that I made up IS! While it looked great on the menu, after a little inquiry to the server, I learned that the Roasted Sprouts dish was prepared with butter, soy sauce and even a little bit of […]
Read More ›This recipe is a perfect one to illustrate the idea that you do NOT need to thicken sauces, a topic which I'm frequently asked about. The traditional recipe for chicken or veal (or any) scallopini would call for butter as well as flour to thicken the sauce. Aside from that, most ingredients are in keeping […]
Read More ›If anyone ever tells you they think their Paleo food is bland, they're doing something wrong! In addition to the lovely flavors that each and every fresh food has of its own, we also have access to many herbs and spices to play with. One of my faves is turmeric. I first ate turmeric as […]
Read More ›Salsa has GOT to be one of the easiest things to make! Really, there is no formula that you must follow; and I'm often a fan of 'throwing in a little of this, and throwing in a little of that' methodology! Last night, I made a tomatillo salsa in my mini prep food processor in […]

I wish there were […]

Read More ›Nope- I'm not going to be suggesting you use a pita, a lavash or tortilla (come on, now it's nothing more than flattened bread- and it's NOT paleo!) to tidy up a heap of free range turkey, arugula, avocado and sliced peach! I'm talking about 'the original wrap'… how about some skin? I, for one, […]

HCAs are heterocyclic amines which are chemicals formed when muscle meat, including beef, pork, fish, or poultry, is cooked using high-temperature methods, such as pan frying or grilling directly over an open flame.
