iwantveggies.com

No, it’s not a real URL, yet, but why not start the conversation? It dawns on me that if we can all be more vocal about asking for veggies, maybe our voices will begin to be heard. Consider this not to be a Paleo post; if we take a step back and look at all […]

Thank You, Hu

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to eat lunch at what felt like something Paleo dreams are made of. HU Kitchen, in NYC’s Union Square, is hands down, the most Paleo friendly place I’ve eaten at to date.

The “Secret Food” of Athletes?

I was lured by the title of an article on the front cover of a magazine my husband receives as a thank you for having subscribed to some other publication he actually wanted. In large, yellow letters, it read “The Secret Food of Athletes”.  I just had to read it.   Unsure as to exactly […]

A Pancake Benefit to Raise Funds for Hospital. Perfect.

A headline last week in a publication in the Pacific NW stated, “ “IHOP is giving away free pancakes all day today, and all the restaurant is asking for in return is for customers to think about making a donation to Seattle Children’s Hospital. The free short stack of pancakes will be available to everybody from […]

Goodbye, Graham…

It was the last time I’d make his breakfast. I knew it didn’t really matter anymore, but I still gave him his AM dose of the Clavamox he’d been taking for the last week. He’d developed a UTI from wearing diapers after the last ditch attempt to try one last thing (prednisone) to see if […]
