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 ...

Paleo Hummus

Filed Under: Game-Day, Appies & Snacks, Condiments & Sauces, 10-popular
By

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 ... Read More about Paleo Hummus

Roasted Beet Cauliflower Hummus

So, you've tried our cauliflower hummus, right?  It's the bomb, right?  Well, I thought it was time to add to it, so here is the Roasted Beet Cauliflower Hummus, the first of two hummus recipes that I recently developed. Moving Sucks Seriously.  I hate packing.  Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about the change, looking forward to the kitchen, the roommate, and the cats.  But uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhgggg! So when I moved into my current place I counted up all my moves from my life.  Over 30! ... Read More about Roasted Beet Cauliflower Hummus

Hummus Omelette

Filed Under: Omelettes, Breakfast
By

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, ...

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

Paleo Game Day Appies for Grey Cup

Hey, sports fans (and sports appy fans)!  It's Grey Cup weekend here in Canada (while our friends to the south celebrate their Thanksgiving weekend and Black Friday sales - I'm sure you guys will be watching NFL games too).  It's the 102nd Grey Cup and it's being hosted in Vancouver this year! I was actually offered a ticket to the game, but I couldn't get to Vancouver this weekend.  Too bad, that woulda been cool to check out.  Ah well, the Lions aren't playing anyway... Who ...

This Sumac Yogurt Marinated Chicken recipe brings a lot of flavor to Keto Chicken Thighs.  These baked Mediterranean chicken thighs are a flavor explosion! Sumac Yogurt Marinated Chicken  I have been craving Middle Eastern/Mediterranean cuisine for a while.  Unfortunately, there aren't any restaurants anywhere near us except for a couple of fast food donair places. And because I convinced Holley to do a keto challenge for the next month (I've been getting softer during the ... Read More about Sumac Yogurt Marinated Chicken | Keto Chicken Thighs

Watermelon Tomato Salad with Cilantro & Jalapeño is a surprisingly well-balanced dish that is fresh and light, and perfect for summer!  Man, I love summer heat and fresh produce! Life.  Am I right?  I have so many things going on right now that I don't even know what to tell you.  I guess there are 3 things I want to mention today. I'm Moving One quick conversation with one of Holley's best friends this week resulted in me deciding to move.  Nothing crazy, it's not one of those extreme ...

Greek Salad

Filed Under: Salads, Vegetables & Sides
By

Salad season is upon us! This Greek salad, and dressing gets better with time. One of my favorite salads ever, yep EVER.  If it's salad season, it means it's summer, right?  You rarely crave a nice crisp and refreshing salad when the snow is falling. Unless you are lucky enough to live in an area where it doesn't snow.  Then I don't know, winter salads may be a thing, I live in Canada and it gets, cold, not crazy cold, but not December salad weather. Along with salad season, summer also means ... Read More about Greek Salad

Paleo Egg Muffins (aka Frittata Muffins)

Filed Under: Game-Day, Appies & Snacks, Breakfast
By

I think it's funny that people assume that I'm always good about eating well.  That's not the case (I'm typically 100% primal at least 80% of the time - but that other 20% allows me to be Foodie first, Paleo/Primal second).  In fact, last month I was really busy with some projects and found that I was eating a lot of fast food.  I know.  And my stomach is definitely aware of this.  You know what it's like to have great habits and then have a few days of being tired and lazy, and then suddenly ...

This is the year I learned how to can.  I decided this would be the year mostly because our freezer is full (I think I might go buy another one today).  I told my mom, my best friend, my gym buddy, and Raj.  I would do it this year: learn to can. I poured over the internet, bought a few jars and some fruit and dove in.  I started with some boozy cherries inspired by this great blog; if they didn't seal I could console myself by eating whiskey soaked fruit.  Win.  They all sealed, foiling my ...

Today is the halfway point in our 2015 30-Day Paleo Challenge and we're celebrating with our first giveaway!  Yay! New Year's Resolution Success Just passed 2 weeks into the New Year.  I saw a stat the other day that said that 30% of New Year's resolutions fail by 2 weeks.  That's pretty sad, isn't it?  I've got all kinds of ideas about why that is and what would improve those odds (one of the reasons that I do these challenges with a group and wanted you to join us this January).  I don't ...
