One of the most common issues that clients have when new to eating Paleo is the tendency to eat too much fruit. To clarify, I just recently did a post on eating fruit, and I am NOT of the school of thought that it is something to be avoided. Read the post for more, but […]
Read More ›The New York Times, that is… I was so happy to read a (nearly Paleo) recipe in last Wednesday's NY Times. Organ meats are not only oh-so-Paleo, they're quite good for you! In fact, after a post about eating other parts of animals (as in, aside from the skeletal muscle that we're all used to […]
Read More ›Why? Isn't spinach a great, healthy food? Yes…BUT it's also very high in natural histamines, which are simple chemical substances your immune system cells produce when reacting to an antigen. Many foods that are either high in histamines themselves, or that elicit a histamine response, include foods we wouldn't be eating on the Paleo diet, such […]
Read More ›I do get quite a bit of questions about exactly what I eat on those days when I'm training long. A 5k swim, followed by a 5:00 ride and a 1:00 brick are not exactly workouts you'd want to go into empty! While I've written posts including sample days of what I eat on days […]
Read More ›Based on a menu offering from a restaurant I visited recently that was NOT paleo, this version that I made up IS! While it looked great on the menu, after a little inquiry to the server, I learned that the Roasted Sprouts dish was prepared with butter, soy sauce and even a little bit of […]
Read More ›This recipe is a perfect one to illustrate the idea that you do NOT need to thicken sauces, a topic which I'm frequently asked about. The traditional recipe for chicken or veal (or any) scallopini would call for butter as well as flour to thicken the sauce. Aside from that, most ingredients are in keeping […]

In addition to the lovely flavors that each and every fresh food has of its own, we also have access to many herbs and spices to play with. One of my faves is turmeric. I first ate turmeric as […]
Read More ›Salsa has GOT to be one of the easiest things to make! Really, there is no formula that you must follow; and I'm often a fan of 'throwing in a little of this, and throwing in a little of that' methodology! Last night, I made a tomatillo salsa in my mini prep food processor in […]
Read More ›There seems to be a lot of confusion about if and when eating fruit is Paleo. Some eat WAY too much, and others eat none! Others still, not only don't eat enough fruit, but they also don't eat nearly enough veg. The latter case, incidentally, tends to warrant the complaint of "my digestion is […]
Read More ›And I mean ACCIDENTALLY! As in, you're dining at a friend's home and she tried to make a Paleo meal and didn't realize that corn starch was not, and you ate some, clandestinely hidden in the sauce… NOT- you 'accidentally' ate a brownie piled high with hot fugde and whipped cream! I wish there were […]
