Not so much, it turns out. Yes, they're better than peanuts (remember, peanuts are NOT nuts- they're legumes so NOT Paleo), and almond butter is a better option than peanut butter BUT that doesn't mean one should eat them ad nauseum. Why? Because they are actually quite high in inflammatory Omega 6 fatty acids […]
Read More ›Whenever I dine out, I literally ask for a double portion (at least) of veg. Why? Because if I don't, I'll very likely receive one leaf of chard or two asparagus spears. I am aware that this reflects demand. I am an anomaly, unfortunately, in the sense that I want heaps of veg and none […]
Read More ›Recently, I popped into a local Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Shoppe for a black espresso before my noon Master's swim, and also asked for a giant cup of water. I finished both and still had a little bit of water left when I got home, PLUS I had to rush out the door […]

Interestingly, when I checked out Wikipedia, the definition was in keeping with what the readers thought: […]
Read More ›I'm not exactly sure how this happened over the course of probably a couple hundred years, but why does it seem that many people are happy to eat skeletal muscle of animal, but distgusted to eat any other 'bits', like organ meats or marrow? Before you were Paleo, did you ever eat a hot dog? […]
Read More ›Why not? Last night, as one of my small plates that I served at a dinner party, I added two giant, local, organic peaches to my normal preparation of Paleo Caprese Salad of Tomato, Basil & Olive OIl. Result? A lovely blend of flavor and colour. Be sure to save this one as a dish […]
