Seasoning Your Skillet

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, or if you’re into your copy of Paleoista, you already know about my suggestion to use a cast iron skillet for many of the Paleo dishes you’ll prepare. It’s one of the least expensive pieces you’ll buy for your kitchen (mine was $25 at a hardware […]

If You’re Paleo, Must You Run Barefoot?

After a trail run recently, I had a chat with another trail runner about running shoes.  He was wearing Vibrams and I was wearing my Brooks Cascadia Trail Shoes.   “If you’re Paleo, shouldn’t you be running barefoot?” is a question I have been asked before, several times.
