Listen: I was a guest on The Smarter Science of Slim!
I had such a great time chatting with Jonathan of The Smarter Science of Slim. His enthusiasm is contagious, and we got into some of my favorite topics! Have a listen, and let me know what you think!
I choose butter. (You’d butter believe it.)
Part of the reason I wrote my book, Eat the Yolks, is to provide a one-stop-shop for nutrition myth-busting. How many of us have gotten questions like… Doesn’t all that animal protein cause cancer? Don’t I need whole grains? …when we explain to folks how we’re eating? And then there’s my personal favorite: Isn’t saturated fat bad […]
Thinking of using henna? Read this first.
I’ve been coloring my hair with Henna for a long time now. It’s one of the topics about which I get the MOST questions! That’s why I wrote about it for Skincare Saturday. I know what I know, but there are other amazing resources out there for the henna-curious. Check out the post for more! But […]

Pictures of Chickens…and musings on Chicken Crack.
We have 18 chickens. They’re just now turning 8 weeks old, and they just got to go outside for the first time. I feel like the parent of a teenager with a freshly-minted driver’s license. Every time they hop into the grass from their cozy coop, I feel like saying “be careful! Watch out! Don’t […]

Paleo Sriracha Sweet Potatoes
So this is easy and delicious. Which is the whole point of…everything. I want to stress how delicious this truly is. Like, really stress. Unlike most of my kitchen experiments, it’s not pleasantly-flavored mush or pleasantly-burned cardboard. I did a good job. Yay! Many folks know that I support Steve’s PaleoGoods and their non-profit, Steve’s Club, as […]
Good food for bad cooks: we’re not all kitchen geniuses. (And that’s OK.)
Click here for a full list of recipes, including ongoing Good Food for Bad Cooks posts! All right. My podcast partner Diane will roll over in her Lulus when she reads this, but here is my truth: I usually forget the salt & pepper. I know that S&P are the cook’s most basic tools, but […]
Skincare Saturday: healing clay masks
I am absolutely obsessed with many things: Nick at Nite. Gelatin gummies. Sardines. But one thing rivals all these obsessions: my obsession with clay masks for skincare. They are a non-negotiable part of my routine. I nearly always use a base of Aztec or Redmond, and I’ll add things like a pinch of Redmond salt […]
