These Paleo Peach Blueberry Pancakes can be made with fresh, frozen or canned fruit. And check this out: it's not often you can say syrup is sexy, but this... this syrup pour is sexy. When Raj and I meet up for breakfast, he usually requests pancakes, blueberry pancakes, which explains the volume of variations of blueberry pancakes. Today I would like to cover a sticky subject. As I'm sure you know, we had a couple unusual incidents here in Canada this week. Shootings. Attacks on ... Read More about Paleo Peach Blueberry Pancakes

Pancakes – Carrot, Blueberry and Lemon
I have mentioned before, I adore breakfast dates; going out for your first meal of the day is the best! After a night out, recapping laughs and shenanigans over pancakes and eggs benny; maybe with an adult beverage... Unfortunately, not many options for grain-free breakfasts around town, so I have to make my own. I don't mind, these pancakes are better than the gluten ones in my opinion. Carrot, blueberry, and lemon. Yum! Sadly the people watching at my house isn't nearly as exciting as ... Read More about Pancakes – Carrot, Blueberry and Lemon

Johnny Chimpo’s The Snozzberries Taste Like Snozzberries Pancakes
Tell me that these words all put together means something to you: Johnny Chimpo's The Snozzberries Taste Like Snozzberries Pancakes. Here's a hint: one of Holley's favorite movies has a sequel coming out this Friday (4-20).

Almost every line in the movie is hilarious, so we had to narrow it down to some of the most memorable ... Read More about Johnny Chimpo’s The Snozzberries Taste Like Snozzberries Pancakes
Rosemary Potato Pancakes
You know what's great? Other than the fact that I'm writing this while in a pool in Bali after having had a blessing from a Balinese priest- look! There's a frangipani floating by! The other great thing is that Holley made these amazing Rosemary Potato Pancakes from freshly home-grown spuds! Home-Grown Potatoes This is apparently extra important because potatoes absorb a lot of things from the soil. Like pesticides. So home-grown potatoes can be a lot cleaner. Looks like organic spuds ... Read More about Rosemary Potato Pancakes
Paleo Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes
I'm having a hard time admitting that summer is basically over, but Paleo Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes with blueberries should help console me. Pumpkin season is upon us friend, and it seems like everyone is going pumpkin crazy (Holley says there was even a rumor of pumpkin flavored condoms she read about in this article). Holley based this recipe on one by Practical Paleo, and the non-pumpkin pancake which I love! There seem to be a lot of birthdays right around now, as I have a load of friends ...

Super Paleo Strawberry Jam
Super Paleo Strawberry Jam is sugar-free, so simple, and delicious! Great with a little ice cream, on paleo waffles or pancakes. Enjoy the flavor of sweet strawberries without all the added crap! I went grocery shopping, the first big shop since moving. I had bought a few fresh items here and there to get me thru, but I have holes in some of my canned goods and pantry staples. I decided it was time. Time to shop like I could afford it. I'm saving for a new couch, and a trip to Cuba, but a ... Read More about Super Paleo Strawberry Jam
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.

Bacon Chive Pumpkin Seeds
I am ashamed. Not of these Bacon Chive Pumpkin Seeds; they are simple, easy and snack-y salty deliciousness. I am ashamed of myself. I have a constant struggle with depression. I really don't want to medicate; not an option for everyone that suffers from mental illness (any thoughts of suicide or self harm require immediate contact with a DOCTOR!!). I take on too much and carry too much stress. The weight of the world is mine, and I have a hard time relinquishing control, or letting people ... Read More about Bacon Chive Pumpkin Seeds
Holley’s Food/Cooking Influences
I can't say I have had the best relationship with food. It has been emotional, rocky in my teens, a means of control and self loathing, a release, and therapy in my 20's, and as I mature, we (food and I) are settling into a more whole and realistic relationship. A love has blossomed. We have had an on again and off again relationship, restriction, misuse, even a hatred at times, which makes our recent love that much more rewarding. I was one of those lucky kids that had a stay at home mom. She ... Read More about Holley’s Food/Cooking Influences
Grilled Zucchini with Rhubarb Glaze
Grilled Zucchini with Rhubarb Glaze is such an easy way to add another dimension to zucchini. Sure, grilled zucchini with a little garlic and S&P is amazing as it is, but the added sweet freshness will be a pleasant surprise for your taste buds. Rhubarb Glaze I've been thinking about integrating fruit into more recipes, as I probably do every summer when surrounded by fresh local produce. The idea of a rhubarb glaze has been bouncing around in my head for a while as ... Read More about Grilled Zucchini with Rhubarb Glaze

Garlic Paleo Banana Bread
Banana bread is fantastic, I mean, what else do you do with overripe bananas? Really... I'm asking. Seems I get a pile-up of bananas in the freezer that have past their general ripeness, then they just lurk around the freezer. Sometimes as I open the freezer door they seemingly jump out at me. More accurately they just slide out of the door, but I'm sure those bananas are out to get me. Ninja banana's waiting in the freezer shadows, poised for attack. Paleo banana bread is one of the least ... Read More about Garlic Paleo Banana Bread
Orange Glazed Roast Chicken
Why don't I eat oranges more often??? I've been playing with cooking with oranges recently and really enjoying it. I like how easy this Orange Glazed Roast Chicken was to make, as well. Any time something looks and tastes fancier than what goes into it is a win in my books. Have you noticed that there are some magical ingredients out there which really elevate food to the next level? Like citrus zest. Duck fat. Bacon. Wait, that one is no secret to anybody! I really developed an ... Read More about Orange Glazed Roast Chicken
Paleo Waffles
I love breakfast. Eggs benny, pancakes, omelettes, and waffles! I may be addicted to these paleo waffles, with a texture like brown bread these paleo waffles would also be great as a sandwich! When you are doing a paleo challenge, or special diet, it can be hard to find things to do with friends. It's amazing how many of my social activities, especially in the winter, are focused around food. Luckily I have a love of cooking and the "worlds best roommate". She loves to clean. I know, ...

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 Souvlaki
Whew. This is the kind of thing you make on a Tuesday night after working all day. Meat on a stick. Does it get any better? I think there should be more meat on a stick. Meatsicles. Although for some reason that sounds less appealing. Maybe why it hasn't been trademarked already, I doubt highly I'm the only person to appreciate the convenience of Paleo souvlaki. My bet is the Greek community of Vancouver can get behind me on this one. This week is their annual Greek festival! You ever find ... Read More about Paleo Souvlaki

Banana flour waffles are easy, delicious, and grain, gluten, nut and dairy free. Looking for a fruit and vegetable filled breakfast? These are a hit, with young and old alike! Well, I did it. I wrecked my metabolism. Wrecked it real good in fact. I have had stomach pains and killer heartburn since our trip to Cuba. Maybe even before. Actually... It is possible my metabolism has been shitty for even longer! I had some seriously disordered eating in my teens and 20's. Crazy diets, ... Read More about Banana Flour Waffles

Paleo Curry Carrot Cake
It's our birthday (last week)!!! The Primal Desire has been the light of our eyes for one whole year. Raj figured we needed a birthday cake. I didn't agree: what one year old really NEEDS cake? And well, I haven't been super motivated to bake lately. I whined and sniveled and put it off, but finally, I pulled it together. We wanted something a little on the healthy side, and spring always makes me feel like carrot cake. We had to put our own spin on it, and here we are to celebrate one ...
