Mustard & Mayo- Aren’t They Paleo?

Raw Meat? Choose Wisely.

While I’m the first to tell anyone with the misconception that Paleo has to mean eating copious amounts of meat at each meal that this is inaccurate, I’m also one who quite enjoys a nice grass fed beef carpaccio or steak tartare now and then. When we select fish that we intend to eat raw, […]
