Okay, not squash and berries together……not sure how that would work….but I tried a couple unrelated recipes I needed to pass on. These worked out great for guests with most of the prep ahead of time. Zucchini Gratin I have zucchini and summer squash coming out the yin yang. My CSA has been bountiful that [...]

Zucchini Lasagna

July 29, 2010

I would like to say I make this dish to use up zucchinis in the summer, but that would not be true. I am usually impatiently waiting for zucchinis to come into season so I can MAKE this dish in particular. The prep is a bit more involved then what I do for most meals, [...]

Cooking a Great Steak

July 12, 2010

Because I seem to be on this subject so much I decided it was time for me to compile some steak cooking tips in one spot. I might be a petite chick, but seriously, my favorite meal is a ribeye steak. I have started to become somewhat obsessed with the cooking of a perfect steak. [...]

Frittata

July 4, 2010

I am starting to get a bit worn on the egg routine. The rotation of fried to scrambled to fried has not done much for variety. Time to mix it up a bit. Tossed together a quick frittata this morning for a change. Fluffy and a good twist on flavors. There are several ways to [...]

Today was a farmer’s market day, woohoo! Picked up a few local veggies that are starting to come in season, dozen eggs, and also stumbled on some fresh roasted green chiles. After pondering what to do with our delectables, an idea was born. Elk, Bacon, green chiles, cream cheese, and the grill. Sounds like a [...]

Carnitas

May 15, 2010

An all time favorite around here would have to be pork carnitas. Easy to make with lots of leftovers or great for a crowd. I first take a pork roast, usually about 3-4 lbs (with or without bone). Diced green chilis (two 4 ounce cans will work), 2-3 cloves minced garlic, and your favorite mexican [...]

Thought I would share a fairly easy recipe that I am trying for the second time that I found on Mark’s Daily Apple. Here is the original recipe for Coconut Shrimp. Check it out for ingredients and such. I did try a type of mayo dip the last time similar to the original recipe, but [...]

Here is an easy and quick recipe, great for the paleo diet or low carb fans. I have been using ground elk meat* lately, but deer (venison), beef, buffalo, anything would work. Heat up a cast iron skillet over medium heat and cook enough bacon for your patties. While this cooks up, prepare your burgers. [...]

I came up with this recipe about a year ago, and it has now become a friend and family favorite. While this is not a traditional or paleo recipe, I try to make as much as I can from scratch so I know the ingredients. (I will test other flavors in the future to see [...]

Gluten Free Pizza

January 12, 2010

On a natural foods forum the other day someone recommended this coconut flour and cheese based pizza crust. Since going gluten free four years ago, I must say good pizza is probably in the top two things I really miss. Almost everything else I have been able to recreate at home, do not miss, or [...]
