Daube (pronounced "dobe" - long "o" sound, silent "e") is French for meat stew. There are many variations on how to cook this. We used the handy Crockpot again and it turned out delicious! The beef did marinate in wine for a day, although you could marinate it overnight or as little as four hours … Continue reading Daube with Mushrooms and Shallots

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp
You know I love crisps if you have searched our site, as you will also find blackberry and cherry crisps and an apple-cranberry crisp. With strawberries and rhubarb in season and getting some rhubarb at the CSA last week, why not make up a nice treat? The sweetness of the berry offsets the tartness of the rhubarb … Continue reading Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp
Brazilian Chicken Curry
Today is the 31st anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. That has absolutely nothing to do with this recipe whatsoever, but just thought I would share 🙂 Here in the Pacific NW it is a big deal to ask, "where were you when the mountain blew?" Well, according to my mom, I was in … Continue reading Brazilian Chicken Curry

Prep time on this recipe is easy too. Gather Up: 6 to 8 large sausage … Continue reading Spicy Sausage Stew
Primal Biscuits

So, last week when we made some spaghetti, I decided to try and make a biscuit with it so that I could have my garlic bread. This biscuit can … Continue reading Primal Biscuits

We communicate mainly through his nutrition log via the computer. He tells me what he eats, I make a comment. We have some … Continue reading Gluten-Free Granola
Food on the Go

You never know what will be available when you are hungry, plus the pocketbook takes a beating. Solution? Unpack the fridge and pack the cooler! We also packed an extra bag with paper plates, … Continue reading Food on the Go
Sweet Mashed Potatoes
Purely Primal has been on vacation for the last couple of weeks (did you notice the difference in background on some of the posts?). We were lucky enough to experience some unseasonably warm temperatures on our trip which we accepted with open arms as we were getting quite water logged in the PNW. We took … Continue reading Sweet Mashed Potatoes
Sloppy Joes
I can't even begin to write this post without hearing my brother mimicking this song. Ah, it just cracks me up every time. 🙂 Did you also know that Sloppy Joe has many other aliases? Unlike those you will get in the cafeteria at school, we actually know what goes into this delicous recipe. Of … Continue reading Sloppy Joes
Coconut Ice Cream
As I scheduled this post, I noticed it was for the date of March 22. Probably no coincidence as this date happens to be the birthdate of my grandpa who passed away over 15 years ago. He LOVED ice cream and always had some in his freezer. He would yell out the old saying, "I scream, … Continue reading Coconut Ice Cream
