Peanuts Are Not Nuts!

Many of you who already follow The Paleo Diet know that peanuts aren't nuts, but peas! AKA legumes! As in, they contribute to leaky gut, contain anti nutrients and do NOT have a place in a healthy diet. It's all I can do not to say anything when I see a mom giving her kids […]

Paleo = Caveman? Or not…

After the recent article in the NY Times about Paleo living, it dawned on me one reason why some people might be put off from eating this way. The idea of an all or nothing approach might potentially dissuade those who otherwise might be inclined to give it a try! Certainly, I don't intent to […]

Paleo Braised Cabbage

After a recent inquiry on how to make a Paleo-friendly version of Braised Cabbage (and by the way- I invite all readers to post requests like this any time!), I felt up to the challenge and came up with the following version: Wash a head of cabbage (use red or green or both) and slice […]

Chicken & Chocolate?

I'm talking about Mole. Try making your own- it's not that hard! Use bone-in, skin on chicken breasts to ensure a more moist meat (you don't have to eat the skin; leave it on while cooking and then discard if you don't fancy it!). In a saucepan, combine minced onion, and saute in olive […]

Moussaka- Paleo Style

Of all places- I came across a recipe for Moussaka in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking (I admit to a bit of a cookbook fetish) that was almost Paleo without alterations! To improvise: (and keep in mind this is not for anyone following the Auto Immune Version as it does contain eggplant; […]

Making Time For the Little Things…

After finishing my swim today in the pouring rain, there was one simple pleasure I was so looking forward to: putting on my new Uggs post shower. A new pair of socks for the marathon, a hot ristretto shot poured with a perfect crema head or curling up to zone out while reading the […]

Being Present In Your Training

Do you head out for a run, throw on the iPod and get ready to zone out? Or jump into the pool with the sole purpose being to escape the horrible day you've had? No doubt, there are many worse things one can do instead of working out, in order to de-stress. Nothing wrong with […]

Fancy a Cuppa Tea?

Yes, I do love a black espresso before a training session, but too much caffeine is not necessarily a good thing. I'd be a hypocrite if I suggested that you readers NOT drink coffee, but I would encourage you to add tea! Green tea, yes, full of antioxidants and said to help with certain types […]
