Whole30: Days 18 and 19

By on April 24, 2014 in Beef & Pork, Low Carb and Low Glycemic, Paleo and Primal, Whole30

This week has been easier than last, though due to the end-of-semester grading crunch we have both been wishing that wine were allowed on the Whole30.  No such luck. Breakfast continues to be my strawberry/almond butter bowl, yesterday with some added coconut, today with some red banana. Lunch is pretty consistently dinner leftovers and/or added […]

Lamb Stew over Charred Eggplant Puree

By on February 23, 2014 in Game, Low Carb and Low Glycemic, Paleo and Primal, Winter

This is a riff on Sultan’s Delight, a traditional Turkish dish of braised lamb over a roasted eggplant mash. Like all “traditional” dishes, there are countless variations on the theme, and you have a lot of flexibility in how you season the dish. I eliminated the typical addition of flour to thicken the eggplant, and […]

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, Whole30, Winter

This has been an unusually dreary Colorado winter, and I am really missing the typical sunny days.  This is the first winter here that I have experienced some seasonal affective disorder (it happened every winter when I lived in the U.P.), so I am looking forward to longer days and more sunshine.  Today I had […]

Feast of the Seven Fishes

By on December 13, 2013 in Fish, Holidays, Low Carb and Low Glycemic, Main Dishes, Paleo and Primal, Whole30

I am not of Italian heritage, but starting from a young age I have had a longing to do an all-out Feast of the Seven Fishes for Christmas Eve dinner.  My family traditionally had our dinner on Christmas Eve, with an extended-family dinner at my grandparent’s house on Christmas day, and around the age of […]

Red Chile Roast Beef

By on November 24, 2013 in Beef & Pork, Holidays, Low Carb and Low Glycemic, Paleo and Primal, Reviews, Sauces and Seasonings, Whole30, Winter

This is actually a recipe for a rotisseried roast of beef, because over the last few weeks I have been in a rotisserie frenzy.  I have rotisseried a duck, a pork loin, and even delicata squash rings.  All because I received a Wolfgang Puck Pressure Oven for review–and let me tell you, I am in […]
