Rocky Road Blondies

As mentioned in Hayley’s recent (donut) post, often we visit with her she (politely) requests Urban Poser’s honey-sweetened Marshmallows accompany the visit. Matt has some sort of magic over Jenni’s marshmallows and they come out wonderfully perfect and puffy each time. So when I was talking with Bill & Hayley about visiting for their Gather Release Party and I offered to bring something for their dessert table I knew exactly what to expect. I wanted to bring two things, so I also checked with Diane and Aimee (my travel companion) and was enthusiastically encouraged to...

Crazy for Kale

Posted by Matthew on Apr 18, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 57 comments

Don’t miss the end of the post, there’s a GIVEAWAY! One of our boys’ favorite vegetables is kale. I think it probably started when we made Kale Chips for Eat Like a Dinosaur, and then our oldest (a born leader) declared his absolute love for the vegetable. Since then the other boys have followed along like little ducklings in support of his declaration. I mention this vegetable often when talking about their favorite foods on the podcast, so when Hallie asked us to review her Crazy for Kale ebook and submit a recipe for round-up I was shocked to see that the only recipe I...

Egg Nog Three Ways

Posted by Matthew on Dec 17, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 22 comments

So I may have mentioned this before, but I have some food addiction problems. One of them is a terrible addiction to egg nog. Stacy and I often joke that if egg nog was in stores year round, I’d weigh 400 pounds. I chug the stuff, drink it by the quart and still desire more. Yes, I’m aware that this is no good for anyone, least of all me. But that stuff is really great. So much so, we want to use it in everything. Today, we present to you a TRIO of recipes using a simple dairy-free egg nog recipe. You’re welcome. So, why not make my own? It’s not that hard and it...

Christy’s Chia Pudding

Posted by Matthew on Oct 9, 2012 in 2012 | 12 comments

We went to an event a while ago to raise money for Discovery Woods awesome children’s program. It was wonderful to be surrounded by like-minded people. Other than at Paleo events, I’ve never been to a buffet table before and had every single item be paleo friendly. Of the fantastic items on the table (like sauerkraut and pulled pork with homemade fermented bbq sauce), there was a Chia Seed Pudding that was phenomenal. It was like our Bubble Tea and Banana Bubble pudding, but much less starchy. Since Matt loves tapioca pudding and chia seed kombucha, no one was surprised he took a...

Curry Fried Fish

Posted by Matthew on Sep 16, 2012 in 2012 | 9 comments

Occasionally, I’ll get urgent texts at about midday. An emergency has occurred and I must respond! Choices by Shawn has their fish and chips this weekend! WE MUST GO! For those just tuning in, Choices by Shawn is a local restaurant that has a dedicated gluten-free kitchen and a well-labelled menu that we find very easy to navigate towards friendly choices. Weekly, they have a special of the weekend. Every three months or so, that option is Stacy’s favorite, the gluten-free fish and chips. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but no one seems to sell fried fish that...

Beef Bacon 50/50 Braunschweiger Burger Sliders

Posted by Matthew on Sep 11, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 11 comments

Probably the most difficult task most paleo and ancestral health advocates advise you to do is to eat organ meats, particularly liver. Frankly, I just have a really hard time stomaching the preparation of organ meats. One time, I made this with both liver and kidneys and felt so nauseous afterwards that I couldn’t eat it, even though the rest of my family scarfed it up. There is a mental block there, I think, where a liver looks exactly like what it is: an organ from an animal that was once alive. Most of us grew up so separated from the life and death of our food that we are not...
