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 […]
Read More ›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.

Read More ›Nope, not talking about the drug-induced type! Rather, the last week I spent in Mexico. Aside from the fact that every time I travel there, I find myself gradually easing a mindset of being relaxed while at the same time being productive and focused (ok, maybe more so when I’m here on business compared to […]
Read More ›Protein Powder. How can it be Paleo if it’s been dried and dehydrated? Is it really the equivalent of enjoying a grass-fed burger in a lettuce wrap or wild tuna sashimi? Of course not.

Read More ›I used to eat peanut butter. A lot of it, actually. You see, when I was a vegan I used it as a protein source. Along with lentils. And tofu. Ugh- the mere thought of it now makes me feel sleepy and bloated! At any rate, I get it. Peanut butter tastes good. But […]
