Restrictive. High in Protein. Low in Carbohydrate. High in Fat. Low in Calcium. High in Dietary Cholesterol. Low in Fiber. Really? No. If you’re thinking otherwise, there’s a good chance you may have gotten some of your information from the many inaccurate sites, blogs, books and podcasts that are growing in number and becoming exponentially […]
Read More ›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 […]
Read More ›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 […]
Read More ›“Vegan Crispy Stir-Fried Tofu With Broccoli, Nutella Filled Hand Pies, and More” was the heading of an email I received today from a foodie-related email newsletter I seem to have inadvertently subscribed to. Is it me, or is this beyond ridiculous? I’m not making this up, even though the title may lead you to believe […]

As if by including, or avoiding one, two or three certain foods (or food byproducts, in the form of said powders, pills or potions), we can magically halt the effects […]
Read More ›One year ago today, we said goodbye to our beloved Graham, one half of the pair of our Weimaraners, aged thirteen and a half. He passed in peace, in his home, surrounded by his mum (me), his dad and his sister, Daisy, who will turn fifteen in June and, aside from a bit of arthritis and […]
Read More ›This has got to be one of the most commonly asked questions. Doesn’t help that it’s perpetuated by many Paleo (ish) websites, blogs and even books. The proverbial cheat meal, in my opinion, implies that whatever one is eating is so restrictive they feel deprived in some way and that indirectly causes the need to […]
Read More ›It occurred to me last night when I was finishing up a lovely meal of bone broth, which I’d made using grass fed bones, garlic, lemongrass, garlic, ginger and some pastured chicken breast with some raw chard thrown in last minute that times sure have changed.
