A few days before Christmas we had our friends Michael and Lynn over for a crab feast of Garlic Roasted Dungeness Crab that Mark and I do at least once a year. This year, I also made crab cakes which turned out heavenly. I haven’t made crab cakes since we went […]

Kickin Collard Greens
Growing up one of my favorite greens that my Dad used to make was Collards. He’d start with some smoked ham hocks and go to town on them collards! These days I use bacon in my collard greens to give it that smoky taste which cuts down on time considerably. […]
Paleo Bourbon Chicken with Shitake Mushrooms
Cajun crosses with Chinese somewhere in the history of this dish and voila…an Asian style Bourbon Chicken. Cross it with The Grain-Free Kitchen and me and boom, Paleo Bourbon Chicken kicked up a notch with the addition of shiitake mushrooms! UMAMI!! (which is Japanese for “deliciousness”). We’re just mixing together […]
Scrambled Eggs and Lox
In the building I live in, we have a Coffee and Conversation every Wednesday morning. This morning, I brought my Cranberry-Orange Breakfast Muffins along with Bagels and Lox from Einsteins Bagel. So, having never eaten nor ordered bagels and lox before, I’m standing in Einsteins looking for “lox”. I have a faint […]
Cranberry-Orange Breakfast Muffins
My Dad almost never bought us what we kids called “the good cereal”. You know, Frosted Flakes, Captain Crunch and my all time favorite, Fruit Loops. I’d like to say it was out of a concern for our health and I’m sure that was a part of it, but I […]

Nope, that is not a typo. Frittazza – it’s my blending of a frittata and a pizza. In a traditional frittata recipe, you would normally saute all the ingredients in a pan and then pour the beaten egg over it to incorporate, and pop it into the oven, much like a […]
Paleo Breakfast Tacos
Most weekday mornings we have a green shake for breakfast because it’s quick, it’s easy, and it let’s us hit the snooze button multiple times! However, at least twice a week, my chompers are wanting to start the day actually chewing something hearty for breakfast, so this is one of […]
Best Roasted Chicken Ever
How many of you stopped making the classic roasted chicken because it’s always turned out where the breast is overcooked and dry while the thigh is undercooked and dripping pink? No shame…I definitely have. Until recently. Somewhere in the vast educational ecos we call the internet I came across this […]
Harvest Chicken and Squash
My friend Lynn and I ventured over to Not Your Average Joe’s for lunch. The last time I had been there was before I became grain-free and paleo-ish so I was really curious to see how easy or hard it would be to find something that I’d be ok with. […]
