Peanut Butter Chicken Tacos

It’s kind of a long story as to how the notion of Peanut Butter Chicken Tacos arose. I’ll just say it happens to be another one of “those” sayings pouring out of my hilarious hubby’s mouth from time to time. Little did he know, the last time he spilled the saucy syllables over his lips,…

Spicy Polenta Rounds and Curly Cheddar Crisps

We really like polenta in our house. Yes, we do. No, it’s not paleo, it’s not grain-free, and no one can really digest corn. But it tastes good, you know? Almost nutty, almost sweet, almost creamy, and almost crunchy. It’s almost like corn – in the form of polenta, at least – is magical. If…

Chicken Arrabbiata

“Arrabbiata” literally means “angry” in Italian. This sauce is red, and it’s hot, and it’s fiercely delicious. There’s nothing angry about it, in fact. It’s just flaming good.

Scotch Eggs and ‘Sghetti

I’ve been dying to delve into the kitchen to try the famous “scotch eggs” widely consumed in the Paleo community. I have to admit, though, they have been a bit intimidating.
