Instant Lacto-Paleo Chocolate Mousse

This one is for my buddy, BlueTang, a skinny diabetic, who has had his share of shit-sandwiches force-fed to him. I hope this offsets some of the taste 🙂 I have been on a salad binge the last couple weeks, particularly enjoying Caesar salad for its anchovies. Gotta LOVE a salty little fish that makes […]

Paleo Hot Chocolate

This one is short, and almost sweet. I ran across a post on Mark’s Daily Apple regarding the health benefits of eating high-cacao dark chocolate. Healthy fats, flavanols, lower blood pressure, improved LDL/HDL numbers, increased insulin sensitivity, and other benefits from consuming this “horrid” stuff. My wife likes dark chocolate, and I’ve grown to like […]

Post-Op Ramblings…

Salt – An Over-looked long term storable and Brining 101

I gave a whole rabbit to SB a week or so ago, and he let me know a few days later that he ended up smoking it whole – something I’ve not yet tried, but wanted to do. One of the things that I was concerned with is that rabbit, being a rather lean meat (but not […]

Thrifty Food Buy and Uses for 22 August 2012

This is my only “regular” weekly post, and it revolves around stores in my area, and food that we eat. We practice “Eat what you store, store what you eat”. Since I try to eat “Paleo”, this means very little food that includes any grains, legumes, or refined sugars. This week, a little change, I […]
