I attended an online summit recently centered around all things paleo & anti-inflammatory. It was nothing short of incredible – with many of the top industry leaders giving presentations on the latest evolutionary nutrition news, and doing so for free, it was like college but so much more awesome.

This recipe was banging around in my head ever since I picked up the bone-in pork chops on sale at Whole Foods Saturday. I wouldn’t say I’m an all-star at pork cooking…except for bacon…which I’ve easily achieved all-star status in that arena. And what do you do when you want to “liven” up some meat… [Read more…]

Someone with an egg allergy (which I was worried I was for a short time) but aside from them, almost everyone enjoys some kind of egg dish at breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. It’s one of the easiest proteins to cook & eat – often being ready to eat from ‘in the… [Read more…]

I got home from work at 7:30 tonight. I was very tired. I wanted to just put my head on my pillow & sleep till 3am when I’d inevitably wake up starved because I went to bed without dinner. I had chicken in the fridge. I don’t love chicken, it wouldn’t be that hard for… [Read more…]

Remember lunches like that one up there? Deli meat, “ants on a log”, and an iced coffee (not pictured). Well, maybe you didn’t have iced coffee as an 8 yr old…but iced coffee is to an adult as a Capri-Sun juice pouch is to a child…gives you a pep in your step & totally refreshing… [Read more…]
