Candied Nuts

Normally I just eat nuts as they are. They’re a great snack, especially paired with a couple dried apricots, apples or roasted kale. But every once in a while I want something a little sweeter. There are tons of ways to do this. I’ve used a variety of combinations of nuts, oil and sweeteners. This [...]

Random Deliciousness

Over the past few days I’ve taken a couple photos of the tasty things I eat. Pretty random and no recipes… but if you ask nice maybe I’ll post the recipes. Not that you’d need them, these are pretty straightforward.
I don’t always eat according to the rules but I usually do pretty good. These photos [...]

Carne Adovada

Carne Adovada is a New Mexican dish that’s everywhere here. When we moved to Albuquerque a little over a year ago I went and got a breakfast burrito at a local place and saw that one of their burritos had Carne Adovada in it. I asked what it was and I remember the cashier had [...]

mmm… Bacolicious

I think everyone knows by know that Bacon will make anything taste great. From brussels sprouts to caviar to dirt, bacon will give whatever it is you’re consuming that wonderfully unique, bacony flavor we all crave consciously or subconsciously. I believe we are all in a state of craving bacon many of us just don’t [...]

Barefoot Running

Just saw a new study out yesterday reported at Popular Science’s website extolling the virtues of running barefoot. Makes sense… just like it always has.
One of my goals this coming year is to toughen my feet up and do some barefoot running/sprinting. I started to do it a little this past fall but then it [...]

Thai Shrimp Curry

I dig shrimp. I lived for 5 years just off  the coast of South Carolina and I learned to love these delicious little protein nuggets of the sea. There will likely be lots of recipes in the future that include shrimp. This one got mixed reviews. The Cavewife was not a big fan. The Cavekids were [...]

The famous McSoG

The famous McSoG

The Son of Grok (hallowed be his name) created a primal breakfast delicacy unrivaled for its simplicity, elegance and gooey deliciousness nearly a year ago. The McSoG! I’ve admired it ever since and have made it a few times now. This is its most recent iteration with a few changes to the original recipe. As [...]

Primal Meatloaf with (mostly) primal ketchup!

I made a meatloaf tonight that was full of primal goodness. It was a test recipe so I took notes but no photos. But next time I make it’ll be perfect and I’ll post a recipe. While it was cooking I fiddled around and came up with some ketchup that is amazingly delicious and tangy. [...]

Eat Seasonably

Eat Seasonably

These days you can get pretty much and fruit or vegetable at most grocery stores any time of the year. But, of course, that’s not the way it was just 100 years ago much less 100,000 years ago. We ate what was in season, what was ripe and ready to eat. With a little research [...]

Fried Plantains with Guacamole

Fried Plantains with Guacamole

While on our trip to Pros Ranch Market I also picked up some plantains. I’ve since learned that plantains aren’t the ideal primal food – they have lots of carbs, similar to a sweet potato -  but they have a glycemic index of 38 (same as an apple) so not totally terrible.
Anyway I’ve been craving [...]
