Rump Roast
Our trip to Giunta’s Prime Shop at Reading Terminal Market yielded some excellent “booty.” Hah! Here’s a simple, easy Slow Cooker Rump Roast recipe. It provides enough meat for lunches and dinners all week long. Ingredients: One Rump Roast, trimmed of much excess fat (a layer of fat on one side is fine) Bacon fat […]
Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 9
Tuesday, July 20, 2010 Tuesday was a cooking day. Whenever we get close to running out of complementary items to our stockpile of meat, things start getting ugly. Stove comes on, oven warms up, and stuff gets real. The mission: clearing out the fridge. At all costs. Sometimes at the expense of our taste buds. […]
Blue Collar Bolognese
This is basically a super meaty, super fast beef meal that takes traditional Bolognese, steals its lunch money and forces it to dirty up its Versace suit. Eat it as-is, in a casserole (see Mouth Money – Day 9) or on top of spaghetti squash. Ingredients: 2 Tbs. bacon fat OR several pieces of bacon, […]
Sweet Parsnip Mash
*Update: I tried this recipe with 2x parsnips tossed in 1 Tbs. melted ghee, roasted at 350 for 1 hour-ish…The result was just a little smoother in consistency and really delightful. Although this bunch prefers to make cooking with Parsnips more difficult than it needs to be, the recipe that follows is extremely simple and delicious. […]
Bad Food Gone Good: Fried Rice
Bad Food Gone Good. This is my first BFGG post. I couldn’t help it – this was so. ridiculously. delicious. I have always loved the flavors of Asian-born, American-bred food, but I don’t care so much for the mystery ingredients that come with it. The buy-in for being gifted the following recipe is – you […]
Bison Chili
Yup, I said BISON! Bison is unbelievably delicious. As much as I enjoy ground beef, bison has a tender sweetness that just can’t be topped. While I’m not 100% clear as to general across-the-board practices for raising bison, the National Bison Association has a nice FAQ and I’ve gathered that regulations vary by state and […]
Chicken Salad
This is a delicious lunch that will keep for a good stint in the fridge. Keep in mind that eliminating dairy from your diet can have some extremely beneficial effects, and while I keep my dairy consumption to a bare minimum – I make dishes involving dairy once each month at the most and have […]
Sausage Stew
This recipe is adapted from Mark Sisson’s latest cookbook, The Primal Blueprint Cookbook, at www.marksdailyapple.com. It’s delicious and keeps beautifully for a week or so (It’s never remained uneaten longer than that!) and incorporates several types of leafy greens that I simply don’t use enough. Ingredients: 2 Quarts vegetable broth Several slices of bacon, chopped […]
Kitchen Essentials
There are a few products I’ve come across that play an important role in the Paleo/Primal kitchen. I have made some of them from scratch in the past, but often there simply isn’t time and having acceptable substitutes for the real, homemade product is important. My cabinets contain a Lazy Susan filled with spices like […]
Some Collard Greens!
At the risk of sounding like a Kansas Hillbilly to my New Jersey audience (hi Husband!) I proclaim that I have found a new food to explore: Collard Greens. I have never had them before this evening, but I needed something quick and I’d bought a (bushel? peck?) of CGs in a sprint-through of the […]
