Recipe Homemade Bacon

Today I have a guest post from my good friend Dave from The Shepherd School. When I asked him for a guest post I didn’t realize it would be on my true love. BACON! I am super excited to try this myself.

Curing your own bacon is something I used to hold as some sort of mystery, but when I actually looked into what was needed, and tried it, I realized it is EASY. This, among all the other projects, is something that the wife says she wants me to repeat. Homemade bacon is easy, its tasty, and depending on where you get your pork from, it can be cheaper than store bought.

Paleo Mre

Well Food Co Paleo MRE

For months listening to the Robb Wolf Podcast I heard him talking about the new products he was developing with John Wellborn at Well Food CO. I got impatient hearing about Carne Bars and Paleo MRE’s. I needed to know  when they coming out and Tweeted Robb about it. Well after some back and forth Tweets I ended up with a big package from Well Food Co. It was stuffed with grassfed jerky, carne bars, cookies, Paleo Mre’s and chocolate bars. I’ve not are everything yet. I sampled a small peice of the chocolate bar yesterday and it was delicious as has been everything I’ve ate so far. Today the focus is on the Paleo MRE and it’s usefulness for hiking or survival needs.

Paleo Slow Cooker Chili

I got a crockpot for Christmas and decided to break it in with my cold weather stand by, Chili. When the temperature plummets I always turn to chili for comfort. Whether chili should or should not have beans is a heated debate. For me being paleo I of course will be making no bean chili. I guess you could ruin this recipe by adding beans. This will be a meat feast chili too so no vegans allowed. If you even think of making this with soy I will come to your house and punch you in the face. With the pleasantries aside lets get down the cooking.

Paleo Ginger Cookies

Paleo Ginger Cookies

I decided to make some ginger cookies this year. They will of course be paleo and easy. There is  reason I usually don’t do baking recipes on the blog. I hate baking. It’s too precise, measured and times for me. I like my cooking to be freestyle. I searched around the web for a paleo ginger snap type cookie to base the recipe on and in the end decided to make it up completely. I based it on my paleo bread recipe I did last year. I like it because it’s so easy to make without strict recipe structure. So let’s once again start baking.
