   I'm going to be posting my primal food pics in this album before I put the recipes in my blog:
   http://www.flickr.com/photos/elegantemily/sets/72157620290257223/

   So far there's step-by-step homemade breakfast sausage, turkey burger w/tomato and avocado and asparagus with hollandaise, and tonight's dinner: shrimp and green beans (coconutty limey)

   Let me know what you think, and post your primal food pic links here too. :)

   Everything looks delicious! :) What are the spices you use in the sausage?

   sage, salt, pepper, brown sugar (only 1 T for 2 pounds so it's not much), thyme, cloves... i think that was it. Plus the onions that I sauteed in bacon grease. mmmm.
   The meat is ground pork.

   Btw--I noticed in another post that you said you found coconut oil at the commisary. We're at Bragg (I've never looked for it in a store) and thought I'd give the commy a shot before trying Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. What area did you find it in? The natural food area or the international section? Thanks! :)

   I actually think it was with the other cooking oils... it was on the same aisle at least. Same aisle as vinegars, dressings, etc... I thought for sure it'd be with international stuff (which is where the coconut milk is).

   Just made a new section for my blog called "primal recipes."

   http://www.joyfulabode.com/blog/category/primal-recipes/

   Right now it's just the recipes that I already had written up... the ones that were primal or mostly primal (a few have dairy or a bit of brown sugar, but they're mostly good).

   More recipes coming quite soon!

    Let me know how you like them!

    I still haven't bought/read the book yet but I'm under the impression that sweet potatoes are okay now and then. Someone correct me if I'm wrong and I'll remove that recipe from my "primal recipes" section.

    yeah, I am also confused about sweet potatoes. I want to have a higher carb day once in a while, I guess occasional sweet potatoes shouldn't do much harm :P

    I think occasional sweet potato consumption is okay. After all, Mark did have a recipe up last week that included sweet potato chips. Looked delish.

    Thanks musajen. I'll leave it in that section.

    I totally drooled over that recipe when he posted it. Everything on the plate looks amazing.

    Hey kjake, you're welcome! I have a few more non-primal recipes to post from before, but am mixing in some primal ones in the next couple weeks of posting, and will have more primal recipes after that. Glad you're enjoying it!

    Those pics really are mouth watering, just wish more of them were primal. Definitely will check back once you post some more recipes. I was thinking of trying that rub, but would there be any substitute for the brown sugar?

    You could probably use real maple syrup.

    Those recipes on my blog are just the ones that were "most primal" out of the ones I already had posted... now I'm working toward making "really primal" recipes so there will be more good stuff in the future.

    I have a few more non-primal recipes already photographed and ready to post, so will still be posting those (not in the primal section though) and then primal from then on.

    jostle - I used honey instead of brown sugar and it was great!

    FlyNavyWife, after browsing through (drooling over) your food pics, and looking through the link to your recipes, I didn't find any instructions for how to make your delicious-looking walnut crusted chicken.

    Would you please jot down a few of the steps??
