Primal Party Foods – Part 1 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
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
Pina Colada Pork with Cauliflower Rice
This pork turned out SO WELL… I know things are good when my husband can’t even be bothered to take a break from slowly chewing with his eyes rolled back into his head to say, “this is good.” I had to actually stop him and ask him what he thought before he said, “a keeper”… Continue Reading
Impromptu Blueberry Struesel

I started with: about 2 Tbsp coconut flour 3-4 Tbsp coconut oil lots of cinnamon a small sprinkle of stevia 3 Tbsp almond slivers Mix those things in a bowl… they will be the topping. Then put about 1/3… Continue Reading
Zucchini Carrot Nests
This was a REALLY GOOD IDEA, but slightly poor execution. First I’ll tell you the things I’d change, then I’ll give you the original recipe. I used too much coconut flour which made the pancakes a little too “bready” and a bit dry. I’ll use less or possibly none next time. Also, I love the… Continue Reading
How to Make Hollandaise Sauce
One of the best things in the world is hollandaise sauce. I’m not even kidding. On asparagus, for dipping artichoke leaves, over eggs benedict, or as a sauce for fish (or chicken, or veggies, or whatever). You will lick the plate. Unless there’s company over… in which case you’ll lick the plate in the kitchen… Continue Reading
BELT Salad (BLT with Egg) With Roasted Asparagus
I asked my husband to describe this salad (I made one for each of us for lunch) and he said it was, “substantially bacony good.” Ah, the eloquent words of man… but I can’t help but agree with him. Layer: baby romaine lettuce halved grape tomatoes or diced tomatoes sliced hard-boiled egg (I always have… Continue Reading
