Guacamole, tacos, or on their own: happy food dance baby!

Banana Omelette (it’s finally here…)
Yes! After years of joking, I have finally made a banana omelette. I believe I've mentioned the origin of this idea, but in case you missed it, I'll tell you again. While working on my first science degree my roommate and I had awoken one fine Saturday "morning" (yeah it was more likely afternoon after a night of... "studying"), and were looking for breakfast ideas. Back in those days my fridge was often empty, as it was on this day. The only ingredients we found were eggs and bananas. I ...

Clam Chowder Omelette (yup, I’m serious)
If you're into New England clam chowder, you're really going to like this clam chowder omelette. I'm serious: it's good! I have questioned it more than once (my memory isn't so good), and each time I'm pleasantly surprised. I actually found my notes from the first time I made it: "this would be perfect with tomatoes and avocados". No fancy extras on this on; simply nice and easy. Contest Giveaway By the way, Clean Eats is giving away two variety packs of paleo snacks (enter to win at the ... Read More about Clam Chowder Omelette (yup, I’m serious)
Butter Chicken Omelette
While working on The Primal Desire-related things yesterday, I watched the last season of How I Met Your Mother. Don't worry, I'm not going to spoil the ending like many people would. I don't know about you, but I become immersed in shows that I like very quickly. Like trying to talk to Dad during the hockey game - I am non-responsive. And I become emotionally invested quickly as well. So when a series like this that I really enjoy comes to an end, it's like the end of a relationship or ... Read More about Butter Chicken Omelette
Hummus Omelette
It's been a little while since I've put one of my omelettes up to share. This is a good one. In fact, when I first made the Paleo Hummus I made this hummus omelette every day and recreated it every day that week until the ingredients were used up. I know, hummus omelette sounds a little weird, and I do like to play with... "different" combinations, but trust me, this works. Even weirder when you consider that it's almond butter in there. I actually tried making almond butter eggs one time, ... Read More about Hummus Omelette
Duck Egg Omelette
This is the first Duck Egg Omelette that I've ever made. I make omelettes all the time. This one was amazing. Wanna know how duck eggs are different than chicken eggs? Holley did a little egg review. I'm a Daddy (But There Are No Diapers) We're parents now. This just hit me. I'm a dad. My kid's name is The Primal Desire. This newborn requires a lot of time, energy, affection, and Paleo food. It keeps me up late, wakes me at all hours of the night, and has me up early. Oh, I'm ... Read More about Duck Egg Omelette
Baba Ganoush Omelette
If you've liked my other omelettes, or our Greek recipes, or if you have functional taste buds, you're gonna like this Baba Ganoush Omelette. And if you haven't tried the other omelettes or Greek recipes, you need to go try those too. Have you ever had one of these days? My to-do list today is massive. I had my Google calendar double- and triple-booked all day. Plus I wanted to make some food for a friend. And go to the gym. So when I woke up and dealt with the seemingly zillions of ...

Paleo Satay Avocado Prawn Omelette
Devi's Magic Sauce (the 4-Ingredient Paleo Satay Sauce) is the star of this show. My sister really nailed it with this sauce. I've used this combination on paleo pizzas in the past, so there was no question that this Paleo Satay Avocado Prawn Omelette would be terrific. Devi, her husband, and my nephews came to visit last week. The 5 of us stuffed in my 2 bedroom oven-for-an-apartment. A great visit, I must say, but I did feel bad for the kids. They had a hard time sleeping in the heat ... Read More about Paleo Satay Avocado Prawn Omelette
Mashed Yam Omelette
Another one of my leftover gourmet breakfasts: Mashed Yam Omelettes. I loved the yams, and this was a great way to continue enjoying them the next day. I love trying new combinations in omelettes: going to friends' places and finding mystery ingredients in their kitchens, finding something different in the store, or figuring out what to create with leftovers. Speaking of friends, we need to talk. Don't worry this isn't like when your boyfriend/girlfriend or wife/husband says "we need to ... Read More about Mashed Yam Omelette

2014 – A Year in Review
As you may or may not know, 2014 was the birth year for The Primal Desire and we've done some pretty great things. I decided that we should do a "year in review" of what happened this year that has got us here. Here are our top 10 viewed recipes, our 25 favorite recipes (that just didn't get the love they need and deserve), and a handful of our possibly (though maybe unlikely) Pulitzer Prize worthy writings. Top 10 Recipes of 2014 These are the recipes that were most viewed in 2014 in ... Read More about 2014 – A Year in Review
The Primal Desire is a 1-Year-Old!
Happy 1st Birthday!!! The Primal Desire is a 1-year-old paleo recipe resource! What a year of adventure this has been! Looking at the world from the eyes of a parent trying to afford our lil Primal D all the best opportunities available. When do you need to apply to top-notch schools? Thank goodness those first two weeks of each doing a post a day are behind us. There was no sleep when lil Primal D first came home. So demanding of my attention every given moment! First Posts Take a look ... Read More about The Primal Desire is a 1-Year-Old!
Bacon Banana Scrambled Eggs
Well, on Monday I talked about the banana challenge starting with the idea of a banana omelette. This is what happened: I initially tried whisking mashed banana in with the eggs, but you know what? It just tasted like banana pancakes. Which was good too, just not what I was going for. I tried a couple other strategies and found something that works. But while experimenting I came up with this bacon banana scrambled eggs recipe. Win. I'm serious. I have made this a bunch of times since, ... Read More about Bacon Banana Scrambled Eggs
Paleo Christmas Menu Ideas

We thought that it might be helpful to put a Paleo Christmas Menu Ideas list together. You can use these not just for Christmas day itself, but any other days that you'll be cooking for family and loved ones as well through the holidays! We have some traditional and non-traditional ideas on this list, so it should be helpful for ... Read More about Paleo Christmas Menu Ideas
Paleo Vegan “Butter Chicken”
Paleo and Vegan seem like pretty opposite diets, don't they? I mean, you pretty much have to eat grains and legumes if you're vegan, don't you? It's too bad, because I would love to do some sort of collaboration with the two lovely #&@!@ %$!-ers over at Thug Kitchen. I love those guys (and their cool not-at-all-paleo cookbook). Wouldn't it be nice to have a meal that is terrific that we'd be able to share with each other? Enter Paleo Vegan "Butter Chicken". Makes sense that I would ...

Curried Eggplant and Spinach
Considering how much I love Indian and Thai curries, I really haven't created slash shared enough curry recipes. Today I want to share this creamy curried eggplant and spinach which is pretty darn good with paleo butter chicken and riced cauliflower, if I do say so myself. In the last week, I've made 3 giant batches of our fantastic paleo butter chicken, and have eaten it at least once or twice a day in that time. Don't worry, I've shared it with many friends in that time as well - I didn't ... Read More about Curried Eggplant and Spinach
Candied Maple Pecan Yams
American THANKSGIVING is right around the corner, and this Paleo Candied Maple Pecan Yams recipe is an excellent dish to serve to your loved ones (and yourself!). I think I might be having this for Christmas along with the Pecan Crusted Rack of Lamb (my sister's request). Candied Maple Pecan Yams - Family Inspiration Speaking of my lovely sister, she was the genius behind adding cardamom. Beautiful, brilliant, and a wiz in the kitchen, I love my sis! I just want to let you know, Candied ... Read More about Candied Maple Pecan Yams
How to Cut an Avocado
I don't know how this happened! How is it possible that I hadn't discovered the magic that is the avocado until adulthood??? Well, I know now that one of my favorite things is avocado covered in lime (or lemon) juice and sprinkled with salt. And that limed and salted, they are fantastic in salads. And just how amazing a simple guacamole is. And that adding 1/4 - 1/2 an avocado to a smoothie will give it a beautifully thick and smooth texture. And that adding cubed avocado to an omelette is ...

Paleo Baba Ganoush-ish
Hotty hotty Megan Fox eats Paleo! I was just wondering what famous people are claiming to be Paleo, and was excited to see her on the list. JESSICA BIEL! One of my favorite actresses (I love that she is a beautiful athletic celebrity, not the stick-like model type)! I wonder if she'll get Justin Timberlake to join the gang? Professional basketball player Grant Hill, Eva La Rue from CSI Miami (she was probably the reason I watched that show as long as I did), Matthew McConaughey (getting ...

Paleo Hummus
It's shocking that these ingredients can result in a hummus flavor, but it does. Paleo hummus is a great dip for vegetables or crackers and as a sauce. I admit it: in the past year I've made and played with this Paleo Hummus recipe many times and in that time I've always wondered if it was "hummus" or "humus". I can tell you that it is definitely not "humus", as its definition is "fully decomposed organic matter, sometimes used in gardening to improve the fertility of soil". Now we know. I ...

Blackberry Mint Smoothie
I'm thirty. Thirsty for this Paleo Blackberry Mint Smoothie (or use basil in place of mint). Mother's Day is this Sunday. Don't forget to call, visit, and hug everyone you need to. And remind the people who you know could use a reminder. Sometimes it's tough to come up with a good Mother's Day gift, you know? I think most moms would prefer a heartfelt gesture rather than a gift, am I right? This year Mom, I would have made you a nice Paleo brunch- if you weren't so far away. Think Dad'll ...

Satay Kale Chips
Satay Kale Chips are so delicious you'll forget they are loaded with kale. More than that, they ARE kale! So easy, you may not want to eat kale any other way: all satay kale chips all the time. Are you a sports watcher? I used to be, now I'm just there for the snacks. The last few years, I've found myself rounding out a 30-day challenge, so this first weekend in Feb is filled with food that maybe isn't the best for me. All in the name of sports watching, ever heard ... Read More about Satay Kale Chips
Pesto Steak and Eggs – Keto Breakfast 🥩🍳
Start your day off strong with a wakeup call for your taste buds from Pesto Steak and Eggs. Keto breakfast in under 7 minutes! "One more sleep 'til breakfast!" One of my all-time favorite quotes. I love breakfast. Not the bready, cereal versions that so many people do every day. No way. I'm talking omelettes, bacon, eggs benedict, breakfast salads, hash browns, breakfast sausage, fruit salads, and pesto steak and eggs. What's not to ...

Bacon Jalapeño Hummus
This is the one. This is the hummus twist you've all been waiting for! Bacon Jalapeño Hummus doesn't have to be too spicy, but of course that's your prerogative (I had no idea that's how "prerogative" was spelled!). This is how you jazz up a raw carrot! Though I'd probably prefer paleo crackers. This is my moving week. I'm in the new place now, after a couple weeks of living amid boxes lining my hall and stacked in every room. Embarrassingly, they sat empty for most of the last few ... Read More about Bacon Jalapeño Hummus
Nectarine Thyme Roast Duck
Looking for a family dinner full of flavour? Nectarine Thyme Roast Duck balances the sweetness of stone fruit with the complexity of fresh thyme, and rich roasted duck. Serve it on your Easter dinner table, or just because! I love dark meat, and so does Raj, so roasted duck is something we can always agree on. All that delicious dark meat, and duck fat- oh man, that stuff is MAGIC! After a roasted duck; the drippings, broth, and leftovers may be almost be better than roast duck itself. Be ...

Crispy Rosemary Winter Chips
Parsnips and beets make up these delicious Crispy Rosemary Winter Chips. Another of Holley's recipes, she informs me that these were actually a f***-up, as she was just roasting vegetables and forgot about them. "How's that for a happy accident?" Yes, Holley and I are still in Cuba for another day or two (I wrote this before we left). Actually, it's more likely that we're in the middle of the long transit home bouncing from flight to flight, enjoying airport food and napping on airport ...

New England Paleo Clam Chowder
I love this New England Paleo Clam Chowder. New England- that's the white one! Also known as Boston clam chowder. I actually forget that there is the other kind; the one with tomatoes; Manhattan clam chowder... And I have to look it up every time. But I'll remember this time, because of this article I found talking about New Englanders being so offended by the addition of tomatoes that in 1939 there was a bill making it illegal to do so. Wow. That is passionate. I developed this ... Read More about New England Paleo Clam Chowder
