Let's talk about dreams for a second. Yes, this is going to be a random conversation. But I almost never remember my dreams, and I feel kind of ripped off about it. You see, my sister used to tell me about these epic scenes that she would witness and experience each night with multiple characters, subplots, and really interesting story-lines in general. I, on the other hand, find that when I do remember dreams they are, more often than not, supermundane. For example, the types of things I ... Read More about Paleo Homemade Taco Seasoning

Beef Mushroom Endive Taco Boats
Paleo Beef Mushroom Endive Taco Boats. This is a recipe for the Blend and Extend strategy - adding finely chopped mushrooms to ground beef to add more vegetables to your plate, extending portions and adding volume to meals. That works for me because I normally dice up a whack of veg and mix it into my GB. I love tacos! And cooking ground beef always makes me think taco seasoning. But pre-made taco seasoning has a bunch of extra crap and fillers. What's a health-conscious guy to do? Make ... Read More about Beef Mushroom Endive Taco Boats
Tongue Taco Salad
Happy Taco Tuesday! This week we're having beef tongue taco salad. Today's dish is a little outside the box (not unlike Raj and his banana recipes, I'm dying to try his banana carrots, maybe with some bacon!). Eating beef tongue is not for everyone, I myself had a couple moments where I wasn't sure I was going to be able to eat it. I am generally pretty adventurous, but this, well, it was clearly a tongue. Hard to swallow (hahah). These kind of food phobias are entirely in my head. Once ... Read More about Tongue Taco Salad
Portobello Mushroom Paleo Taco
A little paleo Mexican-inspired dish: no cheese necessary in these Portobello Mushroom Paleo Tacos. My birthday was this past weekend. I'm old enough that many people my age lie about their number. I've been thinking a lot recently about the different paths people's lives take. How different our experiences are. Even though most people my age are married with kids, have bought a house, and have set up or are on their way to building the American Dream, I'm ok with where I am right now. I ...

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
Paleo Christmas Menu Ideas
Happy Holidays! If you're on top of things like many people (not me so much- I'm relying on my sister to orchestrate this), you are planning out your holiday meals. 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
Roasted Golden Beets
Variety is the spice of life. Or maybe spice is the variety of life. I get bored of making the same thing over and over, so I need to mix things up. I made these Roasted Golden Beets with cardamom and chipotle powder - each brings more depth to the roasted golden beets! And these golden beets a little different too. Boredom I looked in the mirror and thought, time for a change... much like standard beets dishes, something needs to change. I get bored with the same thing over and over. ...

Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
You had me at bacon wrapped. Bacon Wrapped Asparagus that is grilled is a glorious thing. Grilled and bacon wrapped; OMG I'm drooling. Not sure why as I JUST finished eating dinner. Raj dropped off some Beef mushroom Endive Taco boats. Have you tried them? I bet for you non-beef eaters you could substitute ground chicken or shredded zucchini. MMMNNNNNN... I could eat again. Wait why am I talking about another recipe? Stay on task here Holley. It's summertime and it's been hot and dry ... Read More about Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
Homemade Curry Powder Recipe
Time to make your own Homemade Curry Powder Recipe. Forget that store-bought stale bottle of spices. Bring on the flavor! Have you ever toasted and blended your own spice mix? The homemade curry powder recipe will have you never going back for that store-bought powder again! Spice blending is not for the faint of heart. Toasting and crushing your spices and blending them together is time-consuming, no lie. I did adjust, using already crushed spices where I could, but ... Read More about Homemade Curry Powder Recipe
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 ... Read More about Paleo Game Day Appies for Grey Cup
