Contrary to the images the title may have conjured up, I am not, in fact, referred to a recent bout in the boxing ring. Rather, I’m talking about my (at least) weekly trip to my massage therapist and/or, when needed, my chiropractor. It never fails to amaze me the number of athletes training at a […]
Read More ›Heading back home from our trip to Whistler, my husband and I commented on how many lovely meals we’d had whilst in BC. It was incredibly easy to order everything in Paleo standards, with the fresh fish, the game and the bounty of local produce. Every restaurant we visited was more than accommodating […]
Read More ›Aside from pasta, rice and bread being seemingly omnipresent in many types of regional cuisine for their role as a filler, they’re also often used as a vehicle to sop up a sauce.

Not only is Paleo dining growing in the food truck scene, it’s also beginning to make more of an appearance in the corporate world.
