Sweet Potato 2-way
I felt a little guilty making this dish. For a moment there I thought I should commit to just one seasoning, but I just couldn’t. I was too excited. Maybe not thinking straight. So here it is – 2 different ways to season your roasted sweet potato. And if you eat both variations in the same meal, […]
Paleo Snax
Now I get why the bosses of Quick Stop wanted to spell it “Kwik Stop.” Because intentional spelling mistakes are FUN! All right. Does anyone out there have a Cavehusband who gets cranky when he’s hungry? Yeah, me neither. But if I did, I’d make him Kale Chips. I’ve been thinking about Kale Chips since […]
G-Free Pumpkin Bread Wars
Actually, this is more of a Pumpkin Bread Lopsided Battle. Just in time for the holiday season. I pitted my modified Banana Bread recipe against a modified pumpkin bread recipe by Bruce Fife, the coconut flour guru and author of THE amazing, incredible, best cookbook for healthy, non-rice-flour-stuffed gluten-free recipes. Seriously, buy this cookbook. […]
Coconut Shrimp Cakes
Mark’s Daily Apple is a terrific resource for the novice Primalite as well as the seasoned Paleo devotee. A few months ago my MDA Primal Blueprint Cookbook arrived and I immediately selected a few recipes that would become weekly staples – Bison Chili and Sausage Stew. Another MDA recipe is on its way to staple-status […]
Roast Kohlrabi
A big thanks to Heidi, an awesome fan from the CGE Facebook Page, for providing the guidelines for cooking this very interesting vegetable! Kohlrabi. First, we need to talk about the name. “Kohl” is German for “cabbage.” Yes, I too will now call Kohl’s department store “Cabbage’s,” and smirk because aren’t-I-so-clever. While Kohlrabi is from […]
My Squashy Side
There are some mornings when breakfast and lunch spring from the same inspiration. As we settle into fall, all I can think about is winter squash – acorn, butternut, spaghetti squash, and the always delightful pumpkin (gluten-free pumpkin loaf cookoff on the way this weekend)! Today began with a very appreciative moment between myself and […]
Cave Girl Goes to Asia
(A more accurate title would be “Cave Girl makes an Americanized Asian-influenced meal inspired by the Chinese buffet at Wegman’s.”) After the incredible deliciousness that was Paleo Paella, I couldn’t help but hope that lightning could strike twice. I had a bowl of unused leftover riced cauliflower in the fridge and the determination of a […]
Paleo Paella
I’ve always been wary of Paella. In Spanish II we learned that it was full of (gasp!) seafood – slimy, tentacle-y, non-beef seafood. For a Cave Girl from Kansas – where seafood must be shipped bajillions of miles from the ocean to my plate – seafood never charmed me. I’m working on it. Imagine my […]
Food Lies: Soy
This post is first in the “Food Lies” series. Stay tuned to CGE for more. As I researched this blog post – spending hours wading through studies on mice, rats, pigs, Koreans, and post-menopausal women in various medical journals (as well as a brief detour into “The Trouble with Medical Journals” by Richard S. Smith, […]
