The day I created my Paleo English Muffins was the day I knew I wanted to make sloppy Joes, only Paleo-ized! Because, let’s face it—while a hamburger without a bun is fine, a Sloppy Joe without a bun is just a pile of saucy meat: tasty, but far from memorable. So, if...
Sausage Stuffed Portobellos
My mom used to make Stuffed Hard Rolls, and boy, were they good! This beef, tomato soup, olive, and pepper concoction was stuffed in a hoagie type of roll and topped with a mound of cheese. Then it was wrapped in foil and baked, which heated it through, melted the...
Farmer’s pie
We first made a variation on this shepherd’s pie when Charles’ mom stocked us full of fresh lamb they had gotten from a friend of theirs in Tennessee. We’ve since kept this in our recipe rotation. It is a favorite on those cold rainy days. The leftovers reheat...
Fish stick-o-liscous
This is the finned version of our chicken fried steak recipe. Fat and protein coming together to conquer taste buds all around the world. Who in the world didn’t eat fish sticks as a child? This is a recipe for the entire family to enjoy eating. For more ideas on...
Mushroom stuffed quail with dijon sauce
There are few outdoor experiences quite like quail hunting. Quail hunting season opens in early winter and goes through February in Georgia. Thanks to the amazing work by such organizations like Quail Unlimited, you can find all sorts of places to hunt birds. Like...
Crustless quiche
When I’m in a rush, I love being able to grab one of these slices for breakfast and knowing that I’m going to get a good amount of carbs, protein, and fat in one sitting. The first time I made one of these I used my 14-inch All Clad fry pan, sautéed up the veggies,...
Sawmill gravy (& biscuits)
Sure, this recipe probably wouldn’t pass muster with Paula Deen, but I’m okay with that. The good news is that this recipe uses coconut milk instead of cow’s milk. Coconut is pretty awesome and somewhat unique (compared to other fat sources) in that it is comprised...
Oven-roasted broccoli or cauliflower
Oftentimes, simplicity is best. This is one such recipe that plays on simplicity. I’ve had many a “I can’t stand broccoli or cauliflower” sort become a convert with this recipe. You won’t end up with mushy broccoli or cauliflower this way, and the caramelization along...
Squash casserole
In the South, squash casserole is most often made with loads of cream, and topped with Ritz crackers for crunch. Some recipes call for adding cream of chicken or mushroom soup to give the casserole that creamy flavor and texture. With this variation, coconut milk...
Sautéed green beans
To bean or not to bean? Yes, beans are technically a legume, but the green beans here are super low in lectins compared to other beans in the family, as it’s primarily the non-starchy pod that we eat. We limit our occasional legume exposure to just green beans, fresh...
