Cooking for Kyle Korver (Episode 5)




The Breakfast Bowl is one of my favorite meals of all time!  This is a strict Paleo meal that is extremely versatile. It is great meal for an athlete after a tough workout or it can be served at Sunday brunch. So many people have the misconception that Paleo eating is very limiting and does not include good foods.  I promise you that almost anyone can get excited about this meal and it will satisfy their hunger.  Give this meal a try and let me know what you think.

Cooking with Matt Edwards in Omaha, NE

Whenever I am back home in Omaha, NE I always try to catch up with my friend Chef Matt Edwards.  Matt always comes up with exciting meals that taste great!  As we continue to share ideas with each other, he is teaching me about the art of cooking and how to create amazing taste, while I am giving him guidelines for certain foods to avoid or include.

Matt recently demonstrated how to prepare three new meals that are based solely around meat, eggs, and vegetables.  There are a few ingredients that would not be considered "Paleo", but these meals are a great start for most people looking to transition to a healthier way of eating.  You may substitute butter or any oil he used with coconut oil.  You may also use raw organic maple syrup or raw honey instead of any sugar or sweetner.  As we transition away from sugar completely we will not use any of these ingredients.

Check out these videos and let me know what you think!

Cooking for Kyle Korver (Episode 4)



Here is another meal that I often cook for Kyle Korver of the Chicago Bulls.  This meal includes pasture raised bacon, eggs cooked over-easy, and organic steel cut oats with walnuts, blueberries, cinnamon, Stevia, and coconut milk.  As I have mentioned before, my goal is to transition everyone towards a strict Paleo Diet.  This diet does not allow grains, dairy, or legumes.  If you have been eating these foods all of your life, then you may wish to implement a transition period as you slowly eliminate them and begin to add better and more nutrient dense foods.  Throughout this transition, I often use exotic forms of rise and organic steel cut oats with people.  It is optimal to get all of your carbohydrate intake from vegetables, fruit, and tubers such as yams and sweet potatoes.
