Nestle ‘has increased testing in its pasta meals after the discoveries of horse meat in British foods and traces of horse DNA in two products made with beef supplied by a German company‘ according to an article in the NY Times on Wednesday. If you’re in the US, though, don’t worry, as the meat in […]

Since When Did Cooking Become Such A Chore?

And why do people comment that they ‘can’t believe I actually cook dinner every night’?  How come some women have even asked me didn’t I think it went against women’s rights to prepare dinner for my husband? Um, really? Call me old-fashioned, but I like having a lovely dinner waiting for my husband when he […]

On The Subject of Paleo Dogs…

The other day, after returning from a trip out of town, I picked up Daisy, my Weim, from the ranch she stays when we travel.  While I waited for her in the lobby, one of the kennel techs came in to announce that one of the dogs was ready to eat, therefore her ice cream […]

Easy Takes the Stage

I’ve heard it time and time again.  Easy, fast and quick options far too often become the choice when the rubber hits the road.   Most clients get it.  They understand why dairy, grains and legumes are a no go and the harm they do to our bodies.  They do a great job at staying […]

But They Won’t Cover Acupuncture…

I read earlier this week that some health insurance policies at twenty-odd universities across the country will now cover, or partly cover, costs for students who elect to undergo gender reassignment surgery. First off all, please note that this post is in no way meant to be any sort of judgement call on that.  I […]

A Paleo Valentine’s Dinner

About.com had a nice little summary of the history and traditions of Valentine’s Day; a few bits of trivia include: The story of Valentine, a physician also said to be a gastronomist, who made his medicines more palatable by mixing them with herbs, spices, honey, and wine.  Other historians believe the holiday derives from the […]
