Egg Salad

Planning or attending social events has been a bit of a challenge for me since I started Paleo…let me re-phrase, it’s been a bit of an adjustment. Usually one just eats whatever is provided at a party; foods that smell good or look pretty. One usually doesn’t really think of the ingredients that were used… Continue reading Egg Salad

Yuca Fries

The Yuca Root (a potato-like food) first originated in Brazil and Paraguay. Today, it can be found in various tropical regions such as ones in South America, Asia, Australia and Africa. Yuca is low in fats and protein. It’s a great source of Vitamin K, which helps the body with bone mass building. It is… Continue reading Yuca Fries

Paleo Rosemary Bread

I think it’s been 11 months since I’ve had a sandwich. Paleo says no grains, so I stay away from all bread. Except for my Paleo banana bread and Paleo muffins, of course. I just haven’t had the salty-tasting bread…you know, the normal kind. That’s pretty insane if you ask me. 11 months without having a… Continue reading Paleo Rosemary Bread

How-To: Meal Timing and Healthy Habits

On Friday I talked about how often I eat and how I am sticking solely to the Paleo diet, but I really didn’t give you guys much detail on how I go about it. This past weekend, I got a text from Bonnie (my wonderful sister-in-law, who, by the way, is an excellent baker and… Continue reading How-To: Meal Timing and Healthy Habits

Carrot & Zucchini Muffins

I’m following a trainer program from bodybuilding.com. It is a three-month commitment and it’s hardcore. I love it. It’s my 3rd time around doing the same program. I don’t get bored repeating it, because every week is different. It’s pretty rad. And FREE! The program is threefold: workouts, nutrition and supplementation. This time around I… Continue reading Carrot & Zucchini Muffins

Squash and Egg Bake

Today was my running-errands day. Picked up clothes from the dry-cleaner, deposited a check, sent out mail and stopped at the grocery store for some exciting Paleo ingredients (yay!). Our Boise Co-Op is amazing. It literally has every single “weird” and unheard-of ingredient. It is my favorite place to shop at by far! I love… Continue reading Squash and Egg Bake

Paleo Beef and Pesto Burgers

Did you know that organic grass-fed beef can help reduce conditions such as asthma and arthritis? Beef contains selenium, which is needed to support antioxidants that reduce various inflammatory conditions. Now isn’t that interesting? Beef is also a great source of protein, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, phosphorous and iron. Let’s take a deeper look at… Continue reading Paleo Beef and Pesto Burgers

How-To: Make Homemade Paleo Pesto

Pesto. A classic sauce originated in Italy. Did you know it is considered a wholesome food? The basil and the pine nuts are nutrient dense ingredients, the olive oil offers needed healthy fats and the garlic provides compounds with various health benefits. One of my husband’s co-workers (her name is Kelly and she is a… Continue reading How-To: Make Homemade Paleo Pesto

Paleo Bison & Egg Muffins

Don’t eat in a rush! It may help you make that next appointment or commitment, but it can cost you in the long run. Researchers at the University of Rhode Island tested this by instructing their participants to eat a large plate of pasta quickly. Those who did, consumed 646 calories in nine minutes! Those… Continue reading Paleo Bison & Egg Muffins

Paleo Chips and Salsa

There is this one salsa at our city’s Co-Op that is amazing! It comes in three varieties: mild, medium and hot. I like hot. My husband likes medium. It is made locally, which I love; got to support my local folks! When you read its label, you get a list of all its ingredients, ingredients… Continue reading Paleo Chips and Salsa
