Roasting A Whole Fish

While eating a nice, clean, deboned filet is far more 'neat' than eating a whole fish (the latter is, indeed, work as one needs to be cautious of avoiding eating pin-bones), the presentation of serving a whole fish is quite lovely. In keeping with using a 'whole' animal, using the whole fish also allows one […]

Artichokes, Baby!

Or rather, baby artichokes! Quite the opposite of a few recent posts I've done which featured GIANT fruits.. look what I found the other day:  little teeny, tiny baby artichokes!

I've posted about this topic before, but it's a hot topic….No, gluten free does NOT = Paleo, first and foremost.

I've heard, on more than one occasion, people commenting that they don't like tomato because they're 'mushy' or 'don't taste like anything'.    Tomatoes seem to be one of the easiest fruits to buy and eat poor examples of. Not surprising, if you consider how often they're grown far away, picked way too early, then […]

A Giant, Fresh Fig…

Another cool find while grocery shopping… the biggest fig I've ever seen! A great source of Potassium and dietary fibre, they're also absolutely delicious in a salad- which is exactly what became of the one you see above!

The Cherimoya

I do practice what I preach, and so when I suggest to clients that they 'try a new fruit and/or veg each week', it's based on something I do myself!  One of the many beauties of The Paleo Diet is that we can enjoy such a multitude of fresh fruits and veggies, one needn't ever […]

Dear Nell,  How do you keep your house from filling with smoke when you sear meat?  I have to use my exhaust fan AND another fan to prevent smoking up the place! Thanks, Linda Linda,  Thanks for your inquiry!  Try the following suggestions:  Make sure you're using a very hot cast iron skillet (remember, for […]
