What to make? If you’re Paleo, it’s hardly going to be Oscar Meyer Hotdogs on buns with baked beans and macaroni salad! The good news is that since many people traditionally center a Memorial Day party around the barbeque, keeping it Paleo is a cinch. With tomorrow being the end of the three day […]
Read More ›A reader recently sent me a link to an interesting article in the Huffington Post which discussed whether eating healthy food truly is more expensive than eating at fast food restaurants. “The government says it all depends on how you measure the price. If you compare the price per calorie – as some previous researchers […]
Read More ›Regular garlic, elephant garlic, black garlic… now green garlic? Well, not that it’s a ‘new’ thing, per se, but to many people’s palates and plates, it’s a novelty. Green garlic is just young garlic which is harvested before the cloves have begun to mature. It looks like a scallion and is more likely to be […]
Read More ›A conversation with a new client yesterday prompted the idea for this post. How much is too much running? Racing? Swimming? Cross Fitting? The answer? I don’t know!

I don’t want to take meds- I’m only 37! […]
Read More ›Ok, sorry for the (very bad) pun, but I just have to say…what is the deal with pecans? Nuts on occasion are an acceptable part of Paleo and I, for one, love pecans.

Read More ›Thanks to many of you who sent in ideas in response to my blog post last week about what we can do, both individually, and as a society, to make a difference in what we are eating. Following are but a few of the contributions you* kindly shared: Yes, eating real, fresh food is, in […]
Read More ›Just the other day, a friend who recently began eating red meat again, after years of thinking it was bad for her, asked me how often she should be eating it. Once per week? Twice? Just how much is too much? Honestly, I’d have a very hard time giving a specific number for frequency; […]
