ELaD’s Frozen Waffles and other Naturally Green St. Patrick’s Day Recipes

Posted by Stacy on Mar 14, 2013 in 2013, ELaD, Featured | 27 comments

There are a few recipes in our first cookbook, Eat Like a Dinosaur, that we’re asked to share. A lot. Like, at least once a week someone wants to publish (or wants us to publish) on the web some of our most popular recipes from ELaD: Fools Gold Chicken Nuggets, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Rat on a Stick, Anytime Cookies, 50/50 Burgers and Frozen Waffles. Until now, only 50/50 Burgers were on our site. We’re not trying to be mean, but if we don’t hold some recipes hostage you guys would have no incentive to actually buy a book. And frankly we think 1) kids deserve a tangible...

Duck 2-for-1: Whole Roasted and Panang Curry with Homemade Red Curry Paste

Posted by Matthew on Jan 31, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 3 comments

This is Blendtec week! All of our posts this week will feature something we’ve done with our new blender. Don’t have a high speed blender and want one? Enter to win your own Blendtec Designer Series with Wildside and Twister Jar on Monday’s post. Even if you don’t acquire one, we hope these posts are still helpful for you! If you ever want to impress someone in a really easy way, buy a duck. Seriously, ducks are reasonably available yet not often served by people. They are extremely fatty and delicious. Plus, if you can cook a chicken, you can cook a duck. Stacy, despite years of...

French Toast Casserole with Cinnamon Bread Pudding

Posted by Stacy on Dec 27, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 45 comments

Bonus! We’ve got a 2-for-1 recipe for you today. In order to make this French Toast Casserole you’ll need to first make the Cinnamon Bread. Then you’re essentially making a bread pudding that comes together to create the flavor and texture you’d find in french toast. The great news? It’s a perfect make-ahead food – so on special mornings when you’re busy or tired or feeling like the hair of the dog is in order (like New Years Day), you’ll have a relatively high protein, high fat food that feels like a special indulgence. We recommend you make...

Thanksgiving Leftovers Brussels Sprouts Frittata

Posted by Stacy on Nov 24, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 4 comments

I don’t know about you, but my fridge is overflowing with leftovers from hosting Thanksgiving. Yesterday we had cold turkey meat dipped in mayo and a sweet potato biscuit on our way out the door to catch sales (p.s. thanks to Black Friday sales, Athleta is my new obsession). Since this morning was my family’s last day visiting I wanted to make a nice brunch. I opened my fridge to figure out what I could make and had a ton of storage containers stare back at me. I found most of a bag of fresh cranberries sitting there, waiting to be used. My mom has gone strictly gluten-free and is...

Paleo-Vegan Thanksgiving, take 2

Posted by Stacy on Nov 14, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 9 comments

If you’ve been following our blog for a while, you know that we like to host holiday meals. Not only is it easier to not have to lug the kids around town on a holiday, but it ensures we can eat the food! Only complication is, and you already know this if you’ve been reading our blog for a while, my brother is a vegan. Don’t worry, I won the war and my ex-vegetarian mother is now primal ♥ Out of respect for him and because we want to treat him the same way we appreciate being treated, we attempt to make as many dishes as we can be vegan. Since we’re dairy-free,...

Halloween’s Gone Paleo: Our Healthy Party Recap

Posted by Stacy on Oct 29, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 14 comments

This weekend with our good friends Bill & Hayley from The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate was beyond fantastic. It’s late Sunday night and the only reason I am able to find the energy to blog is because we could potentially lose power for a week, due to Hurricane Sandy moving in any hour. We threw our Healthy Halloween Costumed Candy-Free party on Saturday, which took all of Friday and Saturday to prepare for. Then Sunday we helped Bill & Hayley with their Halloween shoot for their upcoming entertaining book, Gather, the Art of Paleo Entertaining. We LOVE to entertain, and...

Winter Is Coming

Posted by Matthew on Oct 1, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 7 comments

Where we are, in the temperate Mid-Atlantic region of the US, I’ve noticed that the long pants are coming back. Stacy pulled out boots and cardigans from the back of the closet. I almost put on a sweater the other morning. The hooks outside the preschool classroom are beginning to be populated by coats. Yep, it looks like winter is coming. But all is not lost! We do gain something in the autumn: cold weather recipes. You know what I’m talking about, right? All of a sudden everyone starts using winter squash, like butternut, acorn, and pumpkin. People pull out the slow cooker or...
