Onion and garlic stuffed trout with bacon

I love the versatility of trout. If you buy a nice fresh trout, you can stuff it with a great variety of herbs, spices, vegetables...you name it and it can be put in or on a trout and it immediately changes the flavor of the fish. Meditarenean trout, Asian trout, whatever you want. This recipe, which uses bacon to seal, is incredible.

Home grown tomato fail

 

With trying to eat more natural foods, comes groing your own. I know, it's not very "Hunter-gatherer", but it beats gathering your pesticide-laden greens at the supermarket. Besides, I got tired of paying way too much money for a few lettuce leaves, if I could get a packet of organic seeds for the same price and grow hundreds more.

Roasted beet salad with goat cheese

Earlier I did a post on roasted beets. That was my first attempt on roasting beets and I think that roasting is now my favorite way of preparing beets. But, as with almost everything else, you need to try some different flavors, otherwise things get boring. It turns out that goat cheese is a great companion for beets. Along with a tiny hint of sweet and sour. 

Cottage cheese made from raw milk

Although dairy isn't permitted on a strict Paleo diet, I still eat it. It seems that my body tollerates small amounts of dairy just fine and I find some dairy products, especially cheese, cream and full fat yogurt, hard to resist. I do, however, consume it as much as possible in it's raw or fermented state. Yesterday I made a batch of cottage cheese from raw milk and I was surprised the difference between home made and store bought. I liked the store bought, but I love, love, love the home made! Much more flavor. And it's really easy to make. Here's what you need: 

Summer Mash

I started a square foot garden in the spring and have been harvesting a lot of awesome greens for the past weeks. I can recommend growing a few veggies to anyone. It's very rewarding and healthy, since you can grow organic. And if you use the square foot garden method, it's also very easy and cheap. This easy recipe is the result of picking a combination of greens, which turned out to work really well!
