I made plans to be back downtown bright and early so I could hear Sarah Fragoso, author of Everyday Paleo. I was not as familiar with her as I was with other authors but I had heard many people say she was a great speaker. And they were NOT exaggerating. After her session, I …

Thursday night, we finally got into Austin to head over to Barnes and Noble to see Melissa Joulwan, Michelle Tam, Diana Rodgers, and Arsy Vartanian do a chat and sign session. After many hours on the road, it was surreal to see them up close! I didn’t get there in time to get a wristband …
This is in NO WAY the actual recap of my weekend in Austin for Paleo FX 2014. It was such a great weekend and I’m absolutely in love with the city of Austin. We didn’t even scratch the surface of this town. I’m still trying to get all my thoughts together about the whole weekend. …
Another week, another new recipe from Russ Crandall, author of The Ancestral Table and known throughout the Paleo world as The Domestic Man. This dish was one of those that I didn’t plan. It happened on accident when I found myself with half a smoked Boston butt from a fundraiser and a huge bag of …
Earlier last week, I was commenting back and forth with Russ Crandall, the Domestic Man, on Instagram about favorite dishes I miss since having to cut gluten and choosing to eat the Paleo way. I mentioned a couple of favorites like chicken fried steak and GRAVY and sesame chicken. The next morning, Stephen walked in …
I have tried many different ways to boil eggs. I’m extremely picky about them in the fact I hate them cold, unless they are deviled. That makes no sense, but it’s me. I like a plate of hard boiled eggs, warm from cooking, halved, with salt and pepper. To me, there’s no other way to …
It’s time to turn the ovens back on again. If you live north of the Mason-Dixon line, this may seem like a strange statement. If you live in the South, you know where I’m coming from. In the hottest parts of the summer, turning on an oven can be very expensive and uncomfortable. I …
It’s no secret that vegetables play a big role in a real-food diet, and especially when I’m sticking to a Paleo lifestyle. I love most vegetables except, of course, beets. I have never made peace with them. Enjoying a wide variety of vegetables definitely helps make a real food diet seem normal…not so much “diet”. …
We are leaving for Colorado in a few days and this year, I’m doing some things differently. Last year, our trip was great, but I was dealing with some health issues that we found out later was Celiac disease. I couldn’t hike like I wanted to. I got in maybe 2 good hikes and that’s …
Schools is almost out for the year and one thing I look forward to is cooking a full hearty breakfast. On mornings that I go to Cross-fit, I make these after I get back. On mornings when I want to sleep in, I usually get busy on this before the coffee kicks in. Fresh eggs, …
And with food this good, it’s going to be a great rest of the week! I’m eating a LOT of “breakfast for dinner” meals because eggs are so versatile and I like them better at night anyway. I also love them on a lazy sleeping-in type of morning. But bright and early while struggling to …
I’m HUNGRY this week! I had 3 hard days of workouts and I’m not hydrated enough and now I’m craving serious food. I don’t want snacks. I don’t want *gasp* “chick food”. I want red meat. I found this recipe from the Pioneer Woman and while I wish she would disclose her original recipe sources, …
One of the questions I had before cutting out grains, dairy, and legumes was how would I fuel my running and working out? It is well known that runners need carbs so if I was cutting out sugar, potatoes, pasta, and rice, how would I be able to run? First of all, I’m no ultramarathoner. …
