“So you do recommend eating fattier meat?”, a blog reader asked me in an email the other day. Yes, I do. Sometimes. I am not a fan of eating only fatty cuts of meat, no more than I am a fan of only eating skinless, boneless chicken breast. It’s all about the balance. Sometimes, buy […]
Read More ›You’ve found the most amazing recipe for an avocado-peach salsa, and you found plenty of both fruits but the peaches were hard as a rock! What to do? Rethink the entire plan for dinner? Not at all! Just grab a few bananas and once you get home, place them side by side inside of a paper bag. […]
Read More ›I try to keep up with the various sports nutrition products that come up in the market, both so that I can discuss them with clients and also for my own knowledge of what the latest trends are. The Muscle Milk brand has been around for a while, certainly, but it wasn’t until yesterday that […]
Read More ›I thought I’d seen all the possible permutations of kale- in the form of chips of all flavors, that is, but yesterday at Whole Foods, I saw something new: kale powder.

Read More ›Just like my post yesterday about how nice it is to have access to fresh Rosemary, another fruit I’ve missed is fresh figs. (It’s almost as though being gone for a while gave me an even greater appreciation for all the fresh produce we have here, year round!). While we often think of the high […]
Read More ›One of the things I’ve missed quite bit during our six month stay, thus far, in NYC, is the abundance of herbs and spices that grow au natural right outside our door of our home in LA. Being back home now, I can’t tell you how much I relish the delicious smell of rosemary, jasmine […]
Read More ›With the exception of perhaps a dried spice and herb blend called a ‘seasoning mix’, I’d be really hard pressed to believe any mix of any kind could be Paleo. Especially a bread mix. A few weeks back, I wrote about a Paleo Bread Machine and this morning in an email newsletter, there was an […]
Read More ›Kudos to Livestrong for another home run. While the entire piece they published a few days back about avocado wasn’t positioned as being Paleo, there was quite a good selection of recipes that completely fit the bill.
