It happens all the time. I’ll be out running errands or in the airport catching a flight, just about to bite into a crunchy, red bell pepper and someone will stare or gawk or even approach me and ask if I’m “really going to eat that, just as it is?”. Yes, as a matter of […]
Read More ›Eating healthfully in the summer time, for many, is the easiest time to keep on track. Whether it comes down to the desire to eat a lighter meal because it’s hot outside or the vast array of local produce available, or for some, the impetus to look great at the beach, the end result […]
Read More ›There is nothing tricky to the Paleo approach. I often hesitate to call it a diet as that can imply a direct endpoint as well as infer a host of other unattractive, negative associations such as deprivation, restriction for a while, followed by a frustrated binge and then a repeat of the cycle over […]
Read More ›When I saw the subject line of a recent article on Livestrong, I had to admit, I cringed. “7 Healthy Paleo Dinner Recipes” sent me straight to all the pseudo Paleo ideas out there- things using grass-fed dairy, or gluten-free soy sauce or huge amounts of honey…but happily, none of these things applied! Whoever contributed […]
Read More ›I just came across a Pinterest page entitled Healthy Paleo Snacks and Treats. Of course, I had to take a peek. And, of course, many of the recipes were just…not.

Read More ›“I don’t have time to cook“, is one of the most common complaints I hear from clients. “After a busy day with the kids, or twelve hours at the office, the last thing I want to do is spend hours slaving away over a hot stove“, is another. Well, guess what? Neither have to be […]
Read More ›Who ever said a salad had to be little, boring and not remotely filling? The joke that salads are the equivalent of ‘rabbit food’ usually comes to a screeching halt when I have guests for dinner. I don’t do anything that I’d call too fancy; rather, I just let my creative cooking mind guide […]
Read More ›One very, very important distinction about the True Paleo regime is the source, and subsequent quality, of our proteins. Fresh, wild salmon and packaged, smoked salmon are not interchangeable. Nor are the occasional serving of uncured bacon from pastured pork and the Oscar Meyer’s shrink-wrapped, sodium nitrate and nitrite-rich variety. And when we get into […]
