Garlic and Herb-Crusted Pork Loin

On 12.22.11 By Lea
This Garlic and Herb-Crusted Pork Loin, inspired by Emeril Lagasse, goes great with my Pomegranate Raspberry Chipotle Sauce and Glaze. Christmas Eve is a perfect time to serve this dish because the red and green colors are so gorgeous and festive. I have also used the sauce to go with beef tenderloin on Christmas Day and it [...]

Pomegranate Raspberry Chipotle Sauce and Glaze

On 12.20.11 By Lea
Chipotle peppers have become my secret weapon in cooking. This pomegranate raspberry chipotle sauce and glaze is not only delicious it is absolutely gorgeous, nutrient dense and easy. The chipotle peppers give it a “kick” that melds perfectly with the fruity flavors. I found a similar recipe years ago from Emeril Lagasse that used only raspberries [...]

Applegate Farms Uncured Hot Dogs for a Paleo Diet

On 12.19.11 By Lea
Trying to follow the Paleo diet as closely as possible is definitely worthwhile. But going strict Paleo is not easy in the beginning and it can be confusing and frustrating. If you are responsible for feeding a family and they are not as motivated for change it is truly challenging. Rather than getting discouraged and giving [...]

Does the Paleo Diet Make Sense Only in Light of Evolution?

On 12.16.11 By Lea
The Paleo diet (as in “way of eating”) is based on the premise that we humans are genetically adapted to the diet of our ancestors. There is a heavy reliance on the explanation that Darwinian Evolution is at the root of this. It is frequently presented that we have EVOLVED to eat this way. Is the [...]

Gluten-Free Communion Bread

On 12.11.11 By Lea
I have been eating a paleo diet since early February 2011 but was only recently diagnosed with celiac disease.  So even though the paleo diet is gluten-free by nature, because it eliminates grains, I was not concerned about the seemingly miniscule amount of gluten I was ingesting every week at church worship services via communion [...]

Chicken Liver Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette

On 11.30.11 By Lea
For years I ate boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cutting off any extra fat with the precision of a skilled surgeon. Fat was the enemy, you see, and the idea of eating organ meats was just anathema. But those days are long gone now that I have been enlightened to the health benefits of eating more [...]

Holiday Turkey Brine

On 11.17.11 By Lea
Recently, my boys and I took a trip to Williams-Sonoma to purchase a pan for the Paleo Pecan Pie Tart.  While perusing the store, trying not to buy more than was absolutely necessary – a difficult task, I might add- I happened upon a large jar of Turkey Brine. Just last Fall I purchased a [...]

Paleo Pecan Pie / Tart

On 11.12.11 By Lea
Texas has a robust pecan industry and, not surprisingly, pecan pie is very popular there. Not far from my hometown is the famous Collin Street Bakery in Corsicana, Texas. They have been using Texas pecans since 1896 in their fruitcakes, pecan cakes and pecan pies that ship all over the world. When I was growing up there, [...]
