I used to think I’d never survive without eating steel cut oatmeal or eggs for breakfast. Now, after learning about how inflammatory grains are to our bodies, and how they create leaky gut syndrome via compounds within them…and after discovering via an elimination test that eggs are a problem for me…I eat breakfast 7 days… [Read more…]

Two things struck me in conversation with clients this week. Both highlighted just how backwards Americans have it today when they think of ‘getting healthy’ and ‘living healthy’. One client has adopted paleo for her nutrition almost 1 year ago – and has been successful in incorporating the anti-inflammatory diet into her life. And she’s… [Read more…]

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…]

Who doesn’t love eggs?? 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…]

One common complaint from those in the “not eating healthy foods as often as they should” camp is that it costs more money to buy healthy foods. To that – I say Balderdash!! <–does anyone remember that game in the 80′s? So much fun! For the overall argument that healthy foods costs more, I tell… [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…]
