Pannukakku (grain free)

By on January 30, 2014 in Breakfast and Brunch, Desserts & Baked Goods, Grain or Gluten Free, Paleo and Primal

My graduate school years in the U.P. included an introduction to a lot of new-to-me foods, most of them of Finnish origin.  Pannukakku was one of my favorite Keewenaw breakfasts–warm, puffy, and custard-like, this baked pancake is a perfect way to start your day during the cold days of winter.  Traditional recipes call for a […]

January Comfort Food: Lemon-Garlic Soup

By on January 19, 2014 in Grain or Gluten Free, Low Carb and Low Glycemic, Paleo and Primal, Soups & Salads, Winter

Crab Puffs

By on October 30, 2013 in Appetizers, Breakfast and Brunch, Fish, Holidays, Low Carb and Low Glycemic, Paleo and Primal

I wanted to call these “crabbity crabbity puff puffs,” but that is largely due to the amount of cold medicine currently in my system.  So you might want to just ignore all of the text in this post and head straight to the recipe.  It’s a good one.  No grains or fillers, just crabbity-crabbity goodness […]

Shrimp and Coconut Fritters

By on August 24, 2013 in Appetizers, Fish, Low Carb and Low Glycemic, Paleo and Primal, Street Food

This combines two of my personal food favorites: Gulf shrimp and fritters.  How can anyone resist a hand-held disc of fried food?  In most cases fritters are made with a flour-based batter, but for these I made a sort of shrimp mousseline with half of the shrimp, some unsweetened, shredded coconut, and some egg, and […]
