Coconut Poached Eggs
Update: A reader asked a great question about chemicals from plastic wrap leaching into food! I responded in the comments, but I would like to note – this novel egg poaching technique is best saved for those times when you need to impress a mother-in-law or an obscenely rich relative who is in extremely poor […]
Quick Turkey Hash
I don’t know what the technical definition of “Hash” is, but today’s SAT prep defines it like this: Turkey Hash : Christmas CaveGirl :: Breadsticks at the Olive Garden : Carb Addict. (My name is Cave Girl, and I’m a Holiday-aholic.) Christmas CaveGirl watched A Christmas Story back-to-back EIGHT times. She watched It’s A Wonderful Life […]
Cookware (or, Cast Your Vote for Cast Iron)
When I married the CaveHusband (update: nearly three years ago now), we had a heck of a time with the registry. (Life is sooooo hard). We had our food intake down, but were just beginning to explore the other areas of our lives in need of a Primal makeover. We were learning about liver (as […]
Sweet Potato Curry Apple Soup
(If you think “Sweet Potato Curry Apple Soup” is a mouthful, well…you’re right. A delicious mouthful.) A little background about the Cave Girl: I’m a Jayhawk for life.*** This is part of why I’m so indubitably delightful. In my tenure at the University of Kansas I met some amazing people, one of whom is […]
Back to Reality.
I’m back! (Did anyone notice I was gone?) I granted myself a little vacay over the last few days. I used it wisely – lots of Vampire fiction, Silly bandz and Delia’s Catalogue shopping. (Srrsly, LOLz.) Oh, and turkey. Now it is well known in the midwest that the Cave Girl is a turkey junky […]
Breakfast makes me happy.
Easily my favorite breakfast in recent memory. My meal plan called for avocado, sweet potato and bacon this morning, but the avocado opened up like cheap Missouri wine, so I added a blob of coconut oil to the sweet potato for extra fat. A nice mug of Cave Girl Cafe coffee rounded it all out.
Shake The Hand of Your…Shampoo Provider?
Because my shopping list & meal plan for week 1 of the Echallenge (see the EChallenge page for more details) provided more than two weeks’ worth of food, I’m taking a teensy break from the daily documentation of new meals until I’ve worked my way through the leftovers! We all know how important it is to […]
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. […]
