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.
The one on top is the end piece from my paleo almond butter bread (not toasted), with some arugula salad on top, and paleo chopped liver on top of that. Bottom piece is toasted, with the chopped liver on first, and then topped with arugula salad. Click the links to see recipes.
I fried the liver and onions in duck fat! So this is an ultra rich meal! It doesn’t take many of these to fill you up. And believe it or not, all that luxurious organic fat is REALLY good for you!
By the way, if you’ve ever had pate, or foie gras, but you say you hate chopped liver, that means you’ve never had chopped liver, because the taste is near identical. Don’t judge it by the name and look, this tastes AMAZING! Ugga-Bugga!

Jeff! It is official - eggs make me sick. Even pasture-raised eggs. I can eat things made with eggs, but to sit down to a nice plate of scrambled, quiche, over-easy, poached, whatever, I am in bad shape an hour later. This presents a quite challenge in the breakfast area. I've been eating fruit most mornings but that gets old and doesn't go quite as far as something protein-y. What can a cavegirl eat for breakfast that isn't fruit or eggs and will sustain her energy throughout her day?
I feel horrible for you. I eat so many pasture raised eggs, and I would be crushed if they started making me sick. As Anthony Bourdain says, “I’m a total egg slut.”
I’m not sure I understand how you can eat things made with eggs, but not eggs themselves. But, if that’s the case, why not bake up some almond butter bread, which eggs are an ingredient in, and then spread some nice (preferably sugar-free, organic and homemade) fruit preserves, jellies, and jams on a toasted slice or two for breakfast?
Or make paleo some breakfast cereal, by throwing some nuts and cut up fruit in a bowl, and adding coconut or almond milk. Like my apple walnut crunch on my recipes page. The combinations are endless.
There are also countless paleo recipes out there for oatmeal (like THIS one from KillFatMe), and pancakes (like THIS one from Angies—Life). Heat up a little organic honey thinned out with a little lemon water for a great paleo syrup (or if you don’t mind highly processed maple syrup, go for it, just go lightly because it’s high in sugar, and make sure it’s organic). How about a side of homemade breakfast sausage with that?
And one of my favorite breakfasts are leftovers from last night’s dinner (no better way to start your day than with carrot pasta with meat sauce).
As far as sustaining energy goes, we don’t need as much breakfast as we’ve programmed ourselves to believe. But if you get hungry often, healthy fat, fat, fat is the key to staying full. Since you can’t eat egg yolks, try avocados, or anything coconut.
Have a great day!
Paleo BBQ Chicken! If there’s a better BBQ sauce in this world than my Asian Plum Loco Sauce, then I haven’t tasted it yet. I’m trying to use up the last of it in my freezer before summer hits, when I’ll make another winter’s worth, and I realized I never roasted a whole pasture-raised chicken in this sauce before. Until now! Ugga-Bugga! You cannot stop eating this sauce, the most addictive thing ever!
Roasted Chicken (pasture raised). Rubbed with olive oil, garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme. All ingredients, all organic, all the time! It’s the simplest things that make me the happiest. Ugga-Bugga!
