“Paleolithic people didn’t eat salad; they would have just eaten leaves they’d picked.” “Paleolithic people didn’t eat Wild Salmon Sashimi over Seaweed; they’d just have eaten the fish bite by bite”. OK. Probably true. But does that mean those of us who chose to be Paleo have to do the same? I hardly think so. […]

A can of cola the secret ingredient in your barbeque sauce or a dollop of Hellman’s Mayo in your great-aunt’s chocolate cake recipe? What’s a newly-Paleo person to do when they are faced with the desire to prepare […]
Read More ›If you’re hospitalized and fighting for your life, or visiting the E/R because a family member has had an emergency, one thing you can be sure of is that if and when your appetite comes back, you can rely on the very place where lives are saved on a daily basis to provide good, nourishing […]
Read More ›Yogurt. Rich in probiotics and good for you? Maybe…or partly, but not really all that Paleo. Yes, historically, yogurt has been used for ages in different cultures not only as a part of their cuisine, but also for its healing properties stemming from the probiotic content. But what if you don’t like to eat […]
Read More ›Both! Let’s back up. I’ll admit it; I, too, am a child of the late 80’s/early 90’s when we all thought low-fat was the way to go. Remember those days?

I do the same thing and keep Paleo in my own home and have become totally used to ordering Paleo at restaurants, and not letting family members talk me into eating non Paleo food during holiday gatherings.

(Incidentally, did you know that root beer has one of the highest levels of the antinutrients, saponins, of all ‘edible’ foods? Not that we should be drinking any kind of soft […]
Read More ›I’ve written about how much fun it is to learn new cooking techniques, and I’ve even done a ‘how to’ post about the simplicity of halving a chicken for recipes like pollo al mattone.
