Recipe: Lamb and Olive Chili

This was one of the first meals I made for my latest Whole30. As I’ve mentioned before, ground meat during a Whole30 will save your life, and lamb switches things up nicely from beef. It’s simple, quick, a little bit different, and a whole lot of tasty. Just the thing for your busy life, whether […]

Recipe: Shepherd’s Pie w/ Mashed Celeriac

I admit it. There’s not much new to offer in the way of Shepherd’s Pie. The Paleo community is all over it. And who can blame them? With its savory ground lamb stewed with chunks of veggies and topped with a delicious something then baked, it’s the epitome of comfort food. Wait. What’s that “something” […]

Recipe: Bacon-Chanterelle Lamb Roast

Raise your hand if you’ve ever roasted something in a clay pot. Bueller? Bueller? If you have then you already know that it’s pretty cool. The gist is you soak an unglazed clay pot in water for 15-30 minutes, add your food, then cook it in an oven. Your food won’t lose moisture and the […]

Recipe: Lamb Broth and Soup

Holy moly. I’d never made lamb broth before this, and it certainly won’t be my last time. It’s assertive yet smooth, lighter than beef but stronger than chicken. Maybe like the turkey broth of hooved animals? Whatever the case, it’s awesome. The soup itself is quite simple but wouldn’t be the same without this broth. […]

Recipe: Rosemary-Balsamic Lamb Chops

Here’s an elegant, yet simple dinner. Elegant in flavor, elegant in presentation. Simple ingredients, simple preparation. This was one of my first forays with our broiler. The broiler seems to work great for lamb, which needs a light hand when cooking—you don’t want to overdo it. But if you’re a hardcore griller year-round, or you […]

Recipe: Lamb Meatballs w/ Pine Nuts

So I set out one fine dinner time to make my usual Lamb-Feta Meatballs. Hmm…feta’s gone bad…no mint…what’s a lady to do for her hungry family with ground lamb? Undeterred, I made meatballs with what I had on hand. And they were very good. And the cool thing? These are dairy-free for all you dairy-free […]

Recipe: Lamburgers w/ Greek Sauce (Bonus Pancake Info!)

Yesterday was Father’s Day, and we celebrated with a couple of fantastic Primal meals. Breakfast was strawberry-blueberry almond flour pancakes and bacon. I highly recommend this recipe from Elana’s Pantry, just sprinkle fruit on top of the batter in the pan before flipping. I’ve used blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, huckleberries, and slices of banana, all to […]

Recipe: Grilled Garlic-Rosemary Lamb Chops

I’ve got a fever. And the only prescription is more grilling! We live in lamb country here in Oregon. Something about rolling green hills requires sheep (see also: Ireland, Great Britain, New Zealand). It’s also springtime, which means it’s lamb season. And I’m grateful because it’s such a nice change-up from whatever the culinary status […]

Recipe: Lamb-Feta Meatballs with Greek Salad

I’ve been on a beef run recently, starting with a NY Strip steak, then Filet Mignon, and ending with Green Chile Beef Stew. In the nick of time, just before I sprouted hooves, I made these lamb meatballs. These were a huge hit at a Greek-themed party I attended this past summer. The kids could […]
