Some nights you might only have a few minutes to cook, or you don’t feel like thawing meat, worrying about seasonings, or preheating the oven. This is a perfect meal for those nights. All you need is a smoked sausage from your grocery store or local butcher (try to get one without added sugar or… Continue Reading

Primal Party Foods – 5 of 5
At first, when I was dabbling in the primal way of eating (grain free, whole, natural, unprocessed foods) I tried to get rid of our un-primal pantry staples by bringing them to parties. Fiesta night? I’ll make the Mexican rice! Recipe swap? I’ll bring pasta salad! Cookout? I’ll bring macaroni and (velveeta, fake) cheese with… Continue Reading

Gardening – Honeydew Update
I think at the beginning of the spring, I promised to be better about giving garden updates, but that didn’t happen, did it? I guess my problem is that I take pictures of the garden when something exciting happens, and then by the time I get around to editing the photos a few days later,… Continue Reading
Coconut Drink Recipe
When I was in China, one of my favorite beverages (other than lightly sweetened iced jasmine tea) was coconut milk. It came in a bottle, ready to drink, unlike canned coconut milk here which is extremely thick and nothing like the light drink I guzzled in TaiZhou. So for years, I’ve tried to find that… Continue Reading

First, we spent 2 months in Pensacola, FL while he was in API (flight training ground school)…. Continue Reading

My Pet Dog doesn’t look like that good a book… I can’t believe 1,600 people would be looking for… Continue Reading
Perfect Primal Grain-Free Gluten-Free Waffles

Coconut flour is loaded with fiber, and the eggs in this recipe make it full of protein (though I promise it doesn’t taste eggy). Add coconut oil, and you’ve got your good fats… this recipe really couldn’t be more perfect…. Continue Reading
