THESE ARE THE COOKING ADVENTURES OF JEFF NIMOY, AN LA WRITER WHO, WHILE DOING RESEARCH FOR A SCRIPT, STUMBLED UPON WHAT’S CALLED THE CAVEMAN DIET, ALSO KNOWN AS THE PALEO DIET. BASICALLY, IT’S EATING WHAT THE CAVEMEN ATE. HE TRIED IT OUT, AND THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN STAGGERING! THIS BLOG SHOWS EXACTLY HOW AND WHAT JEFF EATS. IF YOU’RE NEW TO THE BLOG, PLEASE START WITH THE “ENTERING THE CAVE” PAGE TO GET A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT.
Happy Paleo Hanukah!
I made some of my paleo matzoh balls and pasture-raised chicken soup for Hanukah! When I first experimented with the paleo matzoh balls, I used my almond butter flat bread recipe, and made the mistake of trying to make them like matzoh balls, when I should have made them like bread! So now I bake them into paleo matzoh ball cupcakes, and they come out great. Look:
Here are the recipes:
Both recipes are also available in my eBook (if you still haven’t done all your Hanukah shopping). ;)
Paleo Passover!
With Passover coming, here are some of my recipes for my Jewish readers who want to stay paleo through matzoh week. No, I can’t help you with matzoh, but my flat bread is unleavened, and you can certainly use that as a paleo replacement if you so desire. It won’t taste anything like matzoh, but it is approved by a board of rabbinical cavemen. Can’t help you with the wine (it’s almost paleo anyway), but hey, have you been to one of those long seders, you’re gonna need a glass or two to get you through the night.

The Chicken is in the Pot!
My apartment is going to smell amazing for the next 3-4 hours or so. I’m making my Paleo Matzoh Ball Soup again. For the recipe, see THIS and THAT. But for now, I just wanted to show you the prep work.
So easy to make. All the ingredients go in the pot and I let it simmer until the delicious smell becomes so unbearable I can’t not eat it!
All ingredients, all organic, all the time:
Whole pasture raised chicken (I threw the neck, liver and heart in too for flavor, but will take them out before serving)
Celery (some leaves too)
Carrots (some tops too, coarsely chopped up)
Turnips
Parsnip
Yellow Onion
Black Pepper
Sage
Fresh Parsley
Fresh Thyme
Fresh Dill
Filtered Water (use mountain spring water if you have it)
Look up the matzoh ball recipe in the links provided, you lazy bastards!
