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, […]
All-Day Skillet
I’m not fussy with my food on weekdays. Breakfast and lunch are often the same – make one big batch of somethin’ and eat half for breakfast, half for lunch. Maybe, if I’m feeling insecure, I’ll toss an egg on the breakfast half just to delineate. All-Day Skillet 1lb. grass-fed ground beef One white onion, […]
Strong is the New Strong.
This post has been edited as I’ve given the issue more thought. I want to weigh in (no pun intended) on the Facebook phenomenon “Strong is the New Skinny.” I think there’s an angle that hasn’t been considered. First, let me say – the idea is solid. It’s intended to be a statement made on […]
Cave Girl Goes CocoNUTS!
Or, “Hippie goes Coco,” if you ask the Cavehusband. Hippie I’m not – I assure you – but I do love finding a product that’s pure, simple, and works for a multitude of tasks. Coconut oil is one of these products. Coconut oil rocks for cooking and sauteing not only because of its delicious, subtle […]
Cave Girl Greeks: Recipe #1
With the premiere of Glee upon us, I attempted to find some kind of Greek-Gleek-Glee joke for the title. Clearly, I failed. My heart is still in Greece, so yesterday’s Cave Girl Eats were Cyclades-inspired. First, breakfast. Did I not say you can put a Greek Salad on anything? Yup, that’s sausage in the omelet […]
