A reprise of a blog I’ve posted before; for no other reason than I still feel there are alternative ways to approach this kids’ holiday, rather than inundating them with copious amounts of sugar. For adults who opt to celebrate, does candy really even need to factor into it at all? Really? Don’t worry, I’m […]
Read More ›Is it a bad idea to eat before bed? It depends on several factors and I don’t feel there is a blanket answer. No, I wouldn’t suggest eating a pint of ice cream while you drift off to sleep; actually, I wouldn’t suggest eating a pint of ice cream any time, for that matter! I […]
Read More ›I can understand the thinking that old fashioned oatmeal might be a good breakfast for kids. Don’t agree with the grains, of course, however, it’s easy to see why one might think a hearty bowl of oats and fresh berries might be a better way to start the day compared to a bowl of […]

Some of the little ones dressed in their costumes are adorable, and I remember for myself as a kid enjoying the festive parties, bobbing for apples (at age seven, I didn’t seem […]
Read More ›I receive a lot of requests to sample and then endorse different foods, books and other products, some of which claim to be Paleo but are not. Recently, I had the opportunity to try a sample of a no-grain ‘granola’ that actually was not only Paleo, but it tasted fantastic! Using only Organic Coconut, Almonds, Prunes […]
Read More ›Thanks again to my favorite cooking mag, Cook’s Illustrated, for providing yet another handy tip to incorporate into a Paleo Kitchen repetoire- using baking soda to tenderize meat!
