Yogurt. Rich in probiotics and good for you? Maybe…or partly, but not really all that Paleo. Yes, historically, yogurt has been used for ages in different cultures not only as a part of their cuisine, but also for its healing properties stemming from the probiotic content. But what if you don’t like to eat […]
Read More ›Both! Let’s back up. I’ll admit it; I, too, am a child of the late 80’s/early 90’s when we all thought low-fat was the way to go. Remember those days? Back then, we thought a low-fat (or even better, fat-free) turkey burger was a far better choice than a “high-in-fat-bad-for-you-hamburger”. Heaven forbid we’d add […]
Read More ›Nell, I totally agree with what you wrote in yesterday’s post. I do the same thing and keep Paleo in my own home and have become totally used to ordering Paleo at restaurants, and not letting family members talk me into eating non Paleo food during holiday gatherings. But today, I was confronted […]
Read More ›Should you offer baguettes and brie or chips and dip for guests who are coming to dinner who are not Paleo? I don’t think it’s necessary. I don’t even think it’s rude. You’re offering them a glimpse of how delicious Paleo can be without all their typical fillers, so you could actually view it […]
Read More ›You may recall a post I did a few months ago in which I asked readers to write in and tell me why they used to be Paleo but no longer are. Occasionally, replies to both that post, as well as the follow up post trickle in and the following, which the reader kindly agreed […]
Read More ›It needn’t be hot dogs, baked beans and beer, followed by root beer floats, as you watch the local fireworks display in your neighborhood. (Incidentally, did you know that root beer has one of the highest levels of the antinutrients, saponins, of all ‘edible’ foods? Not that we should be drinking any kind of soft […]
Read More ›I’ve written about how much fun it is to learn new cooking techniques, and I’ve even done a ‘how to’ post about the simplicity of halving a chicken for recipes like pollo al mattone. Once again inspired by a meal I’m cooking tonight, which involves (you guessed it) half chickens, I felt compelled to review. […]
Read More ›Why not? I love a nice burger, myself, without the bun, of course! But how do you know which ground meat is actually the best? And, for that matter, what’s actually in there? Not unlike a hot dog or a sausage, unless you’re sure of the source, there really could be anything in there, from […]
Read More ›Wait a minute. Salad dressing? Thinking that was something that had to be kicked to the curb when you did your Paleo kitchen clean out? Not necessarily. Certainly, many of the commercially prepared varieties are not something we’d want to consume; often laden with corn syrup, all sorts of unhealthy oils ranging from partially hydrogenated […]
Read More ›The first time I heard the word, Umami, it was in the context of a burger joint that was across from my hair salon, in Santa Monica. The word, though, goes back much further than the restaurant. According to Wikipedia, Umami is a savory taste which is one of the five basic tastes, together with […]
