I LOVE barbecue pork – ribs, pulled, sliced, it really doesn’t matter. But being the only REAL meat eater in the house, I’ve long since given up on spending time with a smoker or charcoal grill. I get my fixed whenever I can, wherever I am able to, and not as frequently as I’d like. […]

Thrifty Food Buys for 26 July 2012
This weekly post will revolve around stores in my area, and food that we eat. Saving money by buying in bulk is no good if you are storing food you will never eat. “Eat what you store, store what you eat” will be my guidelines. To me, this means very little food that includes any […]
Copycat Larabar recipes
I was doing a job for a friend of the family, and found they were also Paleo eaters. The wife mentioned Lärabars, and I was unfamiliar with them, but inquired about where I could get some to try. Trying one, I was like a kid in a candy store. Just sweet enough to take the dull […]

Paleo Mole Crab Poppers or “With Baited Breath”
I love to fish, it’s a serious distraction to me. And while I try to learn as much as possible, I’ve grown to understand that they call it “fishing” rather than “catching” for a reason. I was fishing late one evening about 18 years ago with my oldest daughter, catching small
Guest Post: Mango BBQ Sauce (by BlueTang)

Lionfish Update – Maybe not such an issue here in Florida?
Remember this: Update: Eating Lionfish may be dangerous ??? Ciguatera is a nasty thing to experience. When I first read the email regarding ciguatera, I did my due diligence as well as I was able given the time I had on hand and my perceived sense of urgency. I have friends that eat lionfish frequently and would hate to think I could […]

(6 July 2012 EDIT: Please note there has been an update to this issue posted – click here to read) As a point of reference, today is 3 July 2012. Remember the lionfish post or the spearfishing post? Bad news, campers! I was finishing up today’s post regarding a kayaking trip when RidgeRunner sent me an […]
Cooking with Canned Rabbit, or “How does it REALLY taste?”
Yesterday I wrote about canning rabbit. Today, I’ll cover what it actually tasted like, and what I did with the first jar I opened. As I mentioned before, the smell while it was processing was VERY

Canning rabbit
I’ve had a VERY productive year raising my New Zealand/AlTex cross meat rabbits. Not that I should be surprised, they ARE rabbits. And since I’ve packed my tiny freezer full of rib eye steaks, I’m kind of low on available storage for animal protein. A perfect chance to try out the same method of preserving […]
