Paleo For Endurance Athletes- It’s A GO!!

Hi Nell, I am a fan of your blog and find all of your posts very informative and helpful.  Interestingly, I came across an interesting article about the Paleo Diet in the recent edition of Inside Triathlon (Nov/Dec. 2010) entitled "Incinerate Body Fat" by Torbjorn Sindballe, a professional triathlete but now retired from the sport.

Sometimes, Simple Paleo is BEST

Just HAD to take a pic of a recent meal at a new restaurant I went to with a friend the other night: Sauteed spinach with olive oil & garlic, steamed asparagus and grass-fed flank steak (although I'd have preferred it a bit bloodier!: ) It's always a treat when I can literally order something […]

Fat Cats? Plus Sized Dogs? Don’t Do It!

An article in Wednesday's NY TIMES discussed making pet food at home.  LOVE IT!  We have had our own Weimaraners on raw food/meat/veg (aka PALEO) diet for several years and, although they're nearly 12, they're often mistaken for being about 5 or 6.

On The Same Subject… That’s NOT Food Either!

I'm on an email list of one or two of the 'deal of the day' sort of web based companies… and when this one came through from a nearby restaurant (highlighted in RED to illustrated the NOT food portions!):   "… offers a smorgasbord of fully prepared meal options and market items, such as wine […]

Is THAT Supposed To Be Food?

At a recent concert, I just couldn't help it.  I just HAD to sneakily take a snap at the plastic tray of (pseudo) food that the woman sitting next to me was eating: And this was at well known, new and quite popular venue, no less; not a hole in the wall, run down theatre […]

Thai Chicken- Paleo Style

Do a little investigating on Thai recipes, and you may find a LOT of soy- based ingredients.   That doesn't mean you've got to cut out an entire region's food! I doctored a recipe for dinner last night and neither I nor my husband (who tends to be just a little bit particular!: ) missed any […]
