Girl Scout Cookies…Great Idea, Wrong Message

I drove past a super market today and saw a table set up outside with three little girls (with mom (?) planted in a chair in the background), cute as can be, being good little citizens, selling their wares. It’s a scene we all see every year and it’s usually not all that well received […]

Fresh Veggies to Go… Really Fresh Veggies!

I had to share this little piece from bicycling.com’s blog.  It was forwarded to me from a friend in Oz, as an attempt to tease me and my undying love for kale. Written in what I perceived to be a very funny standpoint, the premise is not that this is a way to keep your […]

Treats on the Weekends?

Are you mostly Paleo?  Do you find that you’re very strict from Monday – Friday and then once the weekend rolls around, you take the idea of ‘85% Paleo’ to the hilt?  As in thoughts such as ‘I’m going to eat X and Y because I’m going back on Paleo on Monday morning’?   Are […]

Getting Over A Stomach Ache

While the stomach aches that plagued me for my whole life, pre-Paleo are thankfully long gone after nixing all grains, legumes & dairy, there is still the odd stomach issue that occurs once in a rare while, as a result of eating something slightly ‘off’. Case in point- eating a piece of bad fish, or […]

Coconut to the Rescue

Clients ask all the time about what foods they can keep at the ready; non perishable, while still Paleo-friendly, and suitable to keep in their desk at work, ready to eat a moment’s notice to prevent going too long without eating and having a blood sugar crash. Usually, the first thing that comes to mind […]

In Case Refined Cream of Wheat Cereal Wasn’t Enough…

Now it comes in chocolate and ‘Cinnabon’ flavor, too! I’m not making this up.  I wish I were.   I saw an ad for Cream of Wheat brand’s new flavor offerings, which are none other than chocolate and cinnamon bun (aka the shop, Cinnabon, which you’ve likely seen in shopping malls across the country). Don’t […]

Is Using Sunscreen Paleo?

I always find it interesting when I come across Paleo in context of things other than eating, like running, or endurance training in general, or… like the topic of this post, things one puts on their body. Let’s start with the obvious: I’m certainly not a dermatology expert, and I invite any of you readers […]

Is Dessert Wine Paleo?

Dear Nell, I saw a recipe for poached pears in today’s Wall Street Journal. The pears are poached in a sweet dessert wine, moscato, and water, no extra added sugar. From my brief search on Moscato, it seems it is made from early harvested grapes with a high sugar content. Would this dessert be considered […]

Rib Eye…Just Rib Eye!

I’ve never been a gal with a sweet tooth.  I don’t ‘crave’ ice cream or secretly wish cake and cookies were part of the Paleo diet. What makes this Paleoista’s eyes roll back in her head is savory combined with a healthy dollop of good fat. And while I’m more than happy to play around […]

Pears, Pears, Pears, Lovely Pears

Even heading towards the end of winter, pears are still in season, and while the type of pear you find at your local markets might vary, if you stick with whatever is seasonally appropriate, you’re bound to be happy with your choice. High in fiber, low in sugar and simply delicious, pears are perfectly Paleo! […]
