The other day at the hair salon, I noticed the woman in the chair sitting next to me because she was strikingly beautiful. She was mid-treatment of some sort so it was impossible to see what her hair looked like, but she appeared outwardly very healthy, slim and lovely with striking features. In such close […]
Read More ›Legumes… not a part of Paleo. And if you really think about it, not that hard to give up, actually. How often do you really eat beans for their own particular flavor, compared to their use as a vehicle to carry a delicious sauce or to make an otherwise light meal a bit more […]
Read More ›It’s nothing new to see mention of another actor, athlete or artist touting the benefits of the Paleo lifestyle they’ve adapted, whether for purposes of getting ready for a role, or improving their health. But is this a good thing or does it feed into the idea that Paleo is nothing more than the latest […]
Read More ›“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 ›Just like my post yesterday about how nice it is to have access to fresh Rosemary, another fruit I’ve missed is fresh figs.
