SuperFood Week at Paleoista

I don’t know if there really is a SuperFood week, but given that there’s a National Day for nearly every last random thing (and food) you could think of, I figured, why not? This week, the theme will be geared about food that are touted to be Super Foods. Most have some reason for being […]

Pile on The Paleo Spaghetti…Squash

There are lots of gluten-free, and even grain-free ‘noodle’ options if you scan the market these days, but still, pasta made with flours, even if they are nut-based, are not much more than inflammatory fillers without much to offer from a nutritional standpoint. And while the easiest option is simply to eschew the whole concept, […]

Share the Love in a Bowl

Last summer, I learned about a new Paleo cookbook, which would be entirely focused on soup. The author, Ali Rakowski, reached out and asked me to review it, which I did, and I highly recommend it. In particular, I liked how she stayed true to Paleo and on the rare occasions where she used something […]

Green Coca Cola, A New, Natural Refreshment. Really?

I had to do a double take. When I was in Mexico, I saw an attractive picture on a billboard; it featured a rustic, weathered wagon in the foreground amidst a field of tall, willowy grass.   It would’ve been the perfect backdrop for a basket full of pumpkins or perhaps fruit gathered at the […]

Traveling Paleo

OK, so you’re traveling internationally, perhaps you don’t speak the language all that well and you can’t find organic kale or grass fed beef. Must you throw caution to the wind and opt for whatever you happen to encounter without even attempting to find something a bit healthier (and gluten, dairy & soy-free)? Nope. Not […]

Paleoista Mex

Greetings from Mexico! Nope, I’m not coming to you poolside, sipping a margarita, whiling away the time reading a silly chick-lit book. I’m actually here for work, but it hardly feels that way! Nearly six years ago, I began working with a gentleman who’s become one of my longest- term clients and best referral sources. […]

Balancing Your Treats

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ve probably noticed that I use the word ‘balance’ quite a bit. There’s a reason for this. A key component of successfully implementing the Paleo regime for the long haul is, in fact, incorporating balance with regard to many things:  food timing, macro nutrient ratio…and how […]
