I will candidly admit that I am far from a green thumb. It’s rather silly, actually, if you think about it. As much as I love cooking, entertaining and coming up with new recipes, you’d think I’d have a huge garden with rows of kale, at the very least! Alas, I do not. But […]
Read More ›And neither is Silk brand, either, alas… It would be quite handy if they were, but unfortunately both contain guar gum, a bean derivative, as well as carageenan gum, made from seaweed in a multi-step chemical process, both used as stabilizers and both high in anti nutrients which wreak havoc on your GI tract. What […]
Read More ›If olive oil is Paleo, aren’t olives Paleo, too? Perhaps. Similar to yesterday’s bacon post, though, it depends on the source. More often than not, the olive preparation does render it not Paleo friendly as they’re often packed in brine with lots of sodium and sometimes vinegar. However, if you do some research, you can […]
Read More ›It can be, depending on the source and the preparation. If you’re talking about the generic types you’ll find at most grocery stores, it’s probably not. While pork is, of course, Paleo, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite and many of the other additives that are often used in producing and curing bacon are not. However, […]
Read More ›I will begin by saying that I love Whole Foods Market and spend quite a bit of cash there regularly, so please keep this in mind as you read the following ‘tweet/conversation’ that I had a few weeks back with someone tweeting on behalf of Whole Foods. It all started with a post I did […]
Read More ›Oscar parties are rather common, not only here in Los Angeles, for those in the industry but also countrywide, for many a film aficionado. If you’re hosting, you needn’t feel compelled to serve bruschetta, crostini with hummus or Brie de Margeaux and Black Label Camembert with grapes. Actually, you can serve the grapes. But not […]
Read More ›One of the few foods I eat that does come in a package is seaweed. I have always enjoyed the Eden brand of wakame (which only lists seaweed as its ingredient). Recently, I tried another brand, Seaweed Iceland, who offers a lovely dulse, (also with seaweed as its only ingredient). Here’s a little info about […]
Read More ›Have you ever noticed that when you order ‘dressing on the side’ at a restaurant, you’re often given about a cup full? Well, maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but it’s almost always far more than you’d ever use (I hope). I don’t even like salad dressing most of the time, as I love the simple […]
Read More ›Unless you’re a couple of months old and are drinking milk from your mom of the same species, not really any ‘milks’ are Paleo. There are two exceptions: 1) If you make your own nut milk, and do not add anything to it, you could opt to make and drink that. Nearly all commercially sold […]
Read More ›I’ve seen very young kids find things on the ground and put them in their mouths, followed by a swift removal of whatever the object was by their moms or dads.
