Is There A Problem with Sausage

Sausage is not Paleo. Sausage is Paleo. I’m sure you’ve heard both. What’s the deal, then? Apologies for being the bearer of bad news: It can be Paleo, but the vast majority of commercially prepared sausages are not. Why? Aside from being highly processed and  oh-so-nicely blended with lovely ingredients including but not limited to: […]

Isn’t Scent Enough?

This morning as I was running to the track, I took my usual three mile loop to get there, during which I stay in a completely residential area. Being that it was just past six in the morning, people and their families were just beginning to stir as evidenced by the lovely smells of coffee […]

Fish…for Breakfast?

Why not? Not a ‘must do’, but certainly fair game. I had to laugh a little when I read one of my twitter followers tweet to me today which read, “any recipe ideas without poached cod breakfasts?”.    Yes, I do, in fact, sometimes eat fish as my protein for my first meal of the […]

Paleo Mistake # 7: Confusing the Approach to Snacking

The way I see it, a snack is a meal and a meal is a snack.  They should both consist of: real food balanced, Paleo macro nutrient ratio (which is roughly 40/30/30, in favor of unprocessed carbohydrate coming from loads of fresh veg, along with some fruit) appropriate portion sizes Why would eating three perfect […]

Paying It Forward On Your Birthday

Today is my birthday.  I’m 21.  (OK, that’s a bit of a fib, but I did get carded the other day whilst buying wine at Whole Foods, but that’s another story…).   May I ask everyone for a birthday gift?   I don’t need a thing; rather, how about spreading some good energy around? Please do […]

A Little Bit of Bitter is Better

Rapini, arugula and dandelion greens, for example, have one thing in common:  they’re all rather bitter. While it might take some getting used to, including bitter veggies in our daily diets serves not only to surprise our taste buds a little, as they also share some common health benefits: They’re reported to aid the liver […]

Curry Up!

One of the nice features of Paleo cooking is the endless spice and herb options we have at our fingertips. Being the fan of turmeric, ginger (and a little bit of heat via green chiles) that I am, it’s only fitting that I also love a bit of curry now and then. My own favorite […]
