Foraging Pigs…Imagine That!

I’m always looking for blog topics- in the paper, in a magazine and simply by observing things and people around me. Often, I’ll tear something out of the Times and add it to my ‘topics to blog about’ list. I just came across one such article from January, entitled, Let Them Eat Acorns, about Farmer Joel […]

Let’s Look At The Big Picture Here

Wow.  There has been a lot of twitter traffic over the last 24 +/- hours regarding the recent Dr. Oz Show where Chris Kresser and I had the opportunity to be guests this past Monday. Without getting into too much detail, there are clearly some who vehemently oppose what was presented as well as those […]

Another Paleo Protein?

When a friend told me the other day he’d found a protein powder to replace the whey he’d been using that was Paleo friendly, I was skeptical. With the word Paleo being used so widely and inaccurately, it’s hard to tell  by the name alone whether or not a product is legit. One product, in […]

A Paleoista Valentine’s Day

While dining out Paleo style is quite easy, sometimes it’s actually nice to plan a cozy, intimate evening at home with your special someone. Valentine’s Day is just that type of occasion! I find that many  restaurants tend to change their typical offering to a prix fixe menu which is not the issue in and […]
