Coleslaw

Here's an easy coleslaw recipe that my mom shared with us some time ago.  Since we got a chance to have her here for Mother's Day this year (we figured out it was the first time she got to celebrate Mother's Day with both of her sons since 1994), I decided to make this up … Continue reading Coleslaw

Primal Biscuits

After cutting out the bread, I don't miss it.  But, sometimes when we have spaghetti, I miss the garlic bread that we used to make with it.  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

Gluten-Free Granola

Miss your cereal or just want a great snack? My friend Brad gave me a great recipe for grain-free granola.  It's cool I can say friend although I have met him only once.  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

Basil Chicken & Rice Soup

*A quick note as Casey doesn't give this recipe enough justice.. From all the things we have made, this is definitely in our top 10.  Try it VERY soon as it will definitely be worth it! Feeling like some good ol' chicken soup, but with a little Cantonese and Thai influence?  Playing around with a clipped … Continue reading Basil Chicken & Rice Soup

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

Sweet Potato Hashbrown Breakfast Stacks

These actually started out inspired by an eggs benedict recipe we had seen and saved.  Except that we were actually running a little short on ingredients (it was the day before our usual weekly trip to the market) and the thought of using up half a pound of grass-fed butter for hollandaise sauce just seemed like … Continue reading Sweet Potato Hashbrown Breakfast Stacks

Apple Braised Pork Chops and Coconut-Fried Apples

We've updated this to be two separate recipes, but there is something about pork chops with apples that makes this combination necessary to prepare at the same time.  So hit the "print" button at the bottom of this recipe, then follow the link for the apples and do the same there.  Then head out to … Continue reading Apple Braised Pork Chops and Coconut-Fried Apples

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
