The following is a guest post we did about a week ago for Nom Nom Paleo. Michelle, who maintains the blog with her family, is a cooking/blogging sensation and are one of the handful of places we first turned to when trying to figure out how to “be paleo” [more gushing below]. Be sure to check out her regular posts and giveaways, as well as download her iPad app–it’s beautiful, full of great content, and worth buying an iPad (or iPad mini) for if you don’t already have one.

Once upon a time, when Heather and I first started our own documented cooking adventures, we were pretty lost. Still in the initial sticker shock/grief period of, “but what can I eat,” we spent a lot of time scanning the internet looking for “paleo-friendly” recipes and meal ideas. Michelle’s blog was one of the first I came across, as I was a pretty intense tumblr addict. Once I moved to Virginia and was juggling two jobs, tumblr went away, but nomnom stayed. I later found out the connection between fitbomb and nom nom paleo, and I was excited to see a pair that really thought about fitness and health when it comes to movement and diet. Plus, there’s the added benefit of following the family adventures since I’m not quite ready to enlist my own little army of helpers.

Now that we’ve gone through what we hope is the last of the bi-polar transition to spring and summer, it is a perfect time to dust off the grill and enjoy some outdoor cooking. Growing up in Wisconsin, weekend brat cookouts were common, even well into the winter. We don’t grill as much as I did growing up, but I still love taking the time to be outdoors, and the smell of the grill.

Ever since my mom gave us her old wok, we’ve been attempting to bring it into use more often. We’ve made hot and sour soup, which was really fun, but the ingredient list was pretty extensive. I know I’ll make it again, but I wanted to attempt something less demanding with this awesome cooking tool.
We came up with this bread recipe a month or two ago following our invitation back to the Paleo Parent‘s house for another great pot luck, this time to celebrate their upcoming book, Beyond Bacon. As adamant pork lovers, we couldn’t help but make something with bacon in it. Taking Heather’s awesome orange-cranberry bread as a template, we decided to go a little further.
