…Blend until mixture is smooth. Pour over steaks and let marinate in refrigerator for 1-4 hours. Preheat oven to broil, with the rack about 6″ from the flame. Place steaks on a broiling pan and pour remaining sauce over steaks. Broil for about 8 minutes a side (for 3/4″ thick steaks). [Printer-friendly version - click here] These rib steaks would be equally good on the grill, as they are hot out of the broiler. If you choose to gril…

…elicious recipe using the Tx Bar Organics beef, cooked using the Sous Vide. This is a match made in heaven. When you’re cooking with high quality, grass fed beef, the last thing you want to do is overcook it. Sous Vide takes this disastrous scenario out of the equation. We were given two tenderloin steaks and two top sirloin steaks to cook with, and decided to use all four in this recipe. In our own opinion, when you cook with good beef, yo…

…those chances of putting on the hibernation pounds over the winter are a bit slimmer than the grain eaters. Can you gain weight eating paleo? Absolutely, yes! I’ve done it, and know quite a few others that have as well. However, if you are keeping it pretty clean, and keep moderation foods out of your diet for the most part (this means over-consumption of nuts, nut flours, fruits, dried fruits, dark chocolate, natural sugars, and alcohol),…

…d although it makes for a great breakfast, we would gladly gobble this up at any meal during the day. In fact, I don’t think we’d be too quick to turn down a second round for a repeat meal one day. Ingredients 4 US Wellness Meats ‘Flat Iron’ Steaks (1 package) 3/4 cup strongly brewed organic (SWP) decaffeinated coffee 1/3 cup coconut aminos 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 shallot, minced 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp red pepper…

…rill to high heat. Mix garlic, coriander, cumin and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle over both sides of steaks.  Add red pepper flakes to each steak, more or less depending on your preference for piquance. Sprinkle with salt, both sides, to taste. Grill steaks for about 4 minutes per side (for medium steaks). Adjust grilling time to your liking. Pressing on the steaks with tongs should give moderate yield in firmness for medium colo…

…to us by the wonderful Tressa of US Wellness Meats. She requested that we attempt a recipe using these monstrous ribs, and said they would be perfect for a cookout that we were planning. She mentioned that most people were scared off by these enormous ribs, and everyone at US Wellness was anxious to see them in a recipe. Bill and I love a good food challenge, so we graciously agreed to tackling the dino sized ribs. However, immediately following…

…tle nervous. The last time I had my hair chemically darkened was the week before Halloween, and I was told that you need to wait a few months after having chemicals put on your hair before you can try henna, and you also have to wait 3 months after henna to go back to chemicals if you don’t like it. I was planning to go to the henna salon in the D.C. area with Stacy, but that is a long drive for me just to get my hair done, especially when…

…aving a good quality (and bulk size) coconut oil available to us is very important. When purchasing coconut oil, you always want to make sure you are buying organic unrefined virgin coconut oil. A refined coconut oil is highly processed, does not offer health benefits, and smells like vasoline (yuck). We were very grateful to find a coconut oil from Tropical Traditions that we really enjoyed. We knew we would be getting a prime product from TT, a…

…hat your skin will adapt to the chemical products you are using (just like our bodies get used to eating gluten, you don’t realize how much it is hurting you until you remove it), in which case the skin will need to rebalance once you are using chemical free, oil based products that actually work with your skin instead of against it. A new skin care approach can take up to a month or even slightly longer before your skin has completely reba…
