I have a confession to make. My husband is not a big seafood fan (aside from fish) so many seafood dishes you see on my blog end up being all eaten by me… and not always in more than one seating 🙂 As adverse as he is to things like shrimp and lobster, on the […]
Beef Steak Chinese-Style (Paleo, Gluten-Free)
February 26, 2013 by ·
This is my third baby and I can’t for the life of me remember at what point I should be have the baby’s clothing, sleeping space and hospital bags ready. At this point if Michael Jr arrives, he is going to snooze in a drawer wearing some pink onesies. At least he will have diapers. […]
Homemade Condensed Milk (Paleo, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)
February 26, 2013 by ·
Ah I really missed condensed milk when we started Paleo. Thankfully, it isn’t hard to make yourself a version using just two ingredients – full cream coconut milk and honey. And it’s gluten and dairy-free! Bring a can of full-cream coconut milk to boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to a slow simmer and add […]
Primal Chocolate Strawberry Treats (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
February 26, 2013 by ·
My husband sent me roses yesterday, sweet man. It was a very late Valentines (we were on vacation in New Zealand) but it was lovely anyway. So I got in the spirit of things and made these really easy and decadent chocolate strawberry treats. Definitely not Whole 30-friendly or recommended for every day eating but […]
Chinese Poached Chicken/Bak Chit Gai (Paleo, Gluten Free)
February 25, 2013 by ·
I read this article about Yahoo! CEO, Marissa Mayer’s No-Work-From-Home policy change for the organization and it does nothing to change my view of them and their value to my life. I remember when Yahoo! was cool back when I was a young ‘un in college. But it never kept up with the world in terms […]
Chinese Steamed Striped Bass (Paleo, Gluten-Free)
February 22, 2013 by ·
How many days do you get to come home from work and use an epic movie one-liner like this? Technically, the fish came from the store but I’ll take it because it was quite funny when my husband delivered this line tonight. Find yourself a nice whole fish that has been scaled, gutted and […]
Cast Iron Skillet Seared Eye Fillet/Beef Tenderloin with a Red Wine and Mushroom Sauce (Primal, Gluten-Free)
February 21, 2013 by ·
I had my 30 week checkup today and this baby is growing like a weed. I passed my glucose tolerance test I mentioned a few weeks ago in this post. The OB also congratulated me on passing my anemia test because he said it is very common for people to fail this one. It gave […]
Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp Skewers/Ebi No Bacon Maki (Paleo, Gluten-Free)
February 20, 2013 by ·
Mark Antony and Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Like many famous romances in history, bacon and shrimp may come off initially as an unlikely pair but once you have them together, you know it’s meant to be (minus the tragic endings). If you’ve never had the two things together, you need […]
Teriyaki Chicken/Tori Mayo (Paleo, Gluten Free)
February 19, 2013 by ·
I’m back from my New Zealand holiday! I sure missed my kitchen and I don’t ever want to see the inside of an airplane again for a loooooong time. Imagine sitting in Economy with a giant third trimester belly and a 22 lb toddler lying on you for 12 hours… it isn’t pleasant. The […]
