Making (Grocery) Shopping Fun

I felt I had to add the little “(Grocery)” bit to the title, in order to not trick anyone with the nature of this post.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a trip to my favorite store for a new pair of heels or a dress, but let me get back on track to where […]

Sprinkle on the Kelp

Since we’re not dumping salt on our meals in the Paleo lifestyle, is there anything we can sprinkle on, last minute, after food is cooked, to give it a little extra flavor? Absolutely!

According to a Study…

Ten Pounds Lighter by Summer?

“Summer is less than two months away!  I’m still too heavy to be seen in my bikini in time for my trip to Hawaii!“, a new client confided the other day, feeling beyond frustrated about still not being back to her pre-baby weight and size.

Coral Reefs, Acid & Bone

Coral Reefs, Acid & Bone I heard yet another alarming story the other day on NPR, which focused on the trouble that coral reefs are in, partly due to the increasing acidity of the water. What does Paleo living have to do with this? Bear with me as I create the analogy. “Coral reefs are […]
