Potato Soup
Not paleo, but I thought I’d log it anyway. I was asked today if I had a recipe for potato soup. I have to admit that I don’t, but I’m pretty sure I can come up with one. This is in fact based on my clam chowder recipe, making changes …

Barbecued Pork Chops
I tried Sara’s barbecue sauce recipe. I think I had a little too much onion (all of a smallish one, rather than half of a largish one). I can’t imagine why anyone would add orange juice, as it was it was sweeter than I want. A few substitutions. Ingredients small …
Beef Stock
Soup stock is almost a staple in our kitchen. It’s remarkably useful. Almost any time we have chicken, we save the bones for use in making stock (freezing them until we have enough to use). If I want beef stock, though, I usually have to go out and buy bones …
Primal Pasta Sauce
Ideally this recipe would use grass-fed meat. I’m working on it. The meat I used (both beef and the sausage) was lean enough I had to add olive oil to keep things from getting unpleasant, so if we don’t look too carefully we should be okay. It’s my birthday later …
Probably Primal Hot Chocolate, Take Three
Yes, this is only the second article I’ve written on primal hot chocolate. It’s my third try at a primal replacement for hot chocolate (the second wasn’t a noodle incident, but wasn’t such an improvement I felt compelled to write about it). This is the best result I’ve gotten yet. …
Christmas Breakfast
Since my kids were born, my parents come over to my place for Christmas. After we moved closer to them, we’ve split the hosting duties — morning (with the tree and presents, and breakfast) at my place, then we all go to their place for dinner. Because we’re having a …
Primal Egg Nog
So, I decided to take a run at primal egg nog. It turned out to be really simple, though thanks to a verbal stumble I think it will be referred to around my house as “OG Nog” (note: guttural pronunciation is key; feel free to bellow) from now on. Pictures …
Primal Hot Chocolate
I have never been a huge fan of hot chocolate, but from time to time it is nice. Many of the ingredients normally in hot chocolate are, however, not allowed. This is my second try at primal-friendly hot chocolate.
Salad is Boring, huh?
So, I’ve been told that salad is a boring meal. I don’t think so. This is a pretty simple and straightforward salad with dressing. The drink is a 20-ounce mug of water (yes, there’s that much salad there) with perhaps 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice. (That handle sticking out of …
Primal Turkey Gravy
As a bit of practice before Christmas I tried to put together a primal turkey dinner. I got fairly close with Roast turkey Coconut bread stuffing (I’ll put up a recipe for coconut bread later) Curried broccoli salad Berries and whipped coconut milk Gravy The gravy was a bit interesting, …
