Primal Honeymoon
The further I trek down this Real Food path, the more I realize that this way of life is intuitive and oh-so easy. There are no “eat-this-not-thats,” no finger-wagging or “that’s not alloweds;” rather, the more you know, the easier it is to understand how to navigate the “concrete jungle” in a perfectly sated, perfectly […]
Review: The Vegetarian Myth
Another reason my honeymoon was a dream come true: Ample time to sit in the sun and ogle my hot Cavehusband while catching up on my Vitamin D and my reading. I’ve wanted to review Lierre Keith’s The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice and Sustainability for some time. It’s a difficult book on which to place […]
Easy Stuffed Peppers
I have a new obsession with broiled, stuffed peppers. They are easy, fast, and pass as much more “gourmet” than they actually are – for those of us who have no knowledge of the true subtleties of gourmet fare. Just take some peppers – green ones are more bitter, so you may want to stick […]
Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 23
Tuesday, August 3, 2010 Preparations are afoot for an impending visit from THE IN-LAWS! This basically means I’m yelling at Husband a lot and vacuuming the dog to pre-empt having to vacuum the floors again. Excuse the fuzzy photos – I had to juice up the camera today. With everything going on, the last thing […]
Vegetable Who-Hash
This recipe is from Mark’s Daily Apple. I switched some of the proportions around and named it after my all-time favorite Christmas cartoon, but all credit goes to the amazing health resource that is MDA. I’ve very much enjoyed working with root vegetables lately. They’re durable, they last forever in the refrigerator, and they’re tough […]
Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 22
Monday, August 2, 2010 Are we annoyed with Mouth Money yet? Only about one week left! …until MM V.2! I have signed up for another 30-day challenge! I will not necessarily post meal blogs to Facebook or Twitter beyond Mouth Money V.1 (unless my mother and the Kardashians find that state of affairs unbearable). This challenge […]
Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 21
Sunday, August 1, 2010 Quick clarification: I did not “work out” this weekend. I took 2 days off. (gasp!) I prefer to train about 4 days per week. That’s what I was doing before “Mouth Money,” and that’s what I’ll continue to do to make careful and steady progress in the gym with ample time […]
Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 20
Saturday, July 31, 2010 I felt like too much of a geek to take photos of the Paleolithic Solution Seminar this weekend (review post to come), though I was tempted. Robb Wolf is a really, really down-to-earth, insanely well-educated, public-service-minded, paleo-passionate individual. The take-home of his seminar – aside from all the science-y stuff that […]
Mouth Money – 30 Days, Day 19
Friday, July 30, 2010 A quick post before bed – It’s Friday night and tomorrow we’re driving the 3-ish hours to Potomac Crossfit in Arlington, VA for the Paleolithic Solution Seminar! Can’t wait to learn from someone who make it his business to stay on the cutting edge of performance and lifestyle nutrition. Breakfast: Paleo […]
Paleo Porridge
This is an extremely filling, very calorie-dense porridge that is truly delicious and perfect for a day where you need to plan for two very large meals rather than three or four. I adapted this recipe from the Mark’s Daily Apple “Noatmeal” recipe. Ingredients: Handful of pecans, ground to a coarse flour in a food […]
