If you’re on the paleo diet, you already know the importance of fish and its high Omega 3 content. What are your options for fish. Certainly, we are all familiar with canned tuna. No salt, packed in water, tuna will provide you with protein, Omega 3, Niacin, B6, B12, and Selenium. I won’t break down … Continue reading
I would say half the meals I make for breakfast include leftovers from the night before. Today, in fact, it was 4 days before. Yes, the last piece of Thanksgiving turkey has been eaten. I think the reason leftovers taste so good is that flavors get concentrated when food is cooled and reheated. In this … Continue reading
I plan meals for the entire Thanksgiving weekend, not just Thanksgiving day. Yes, it usually involves leftovers, but I do buy other proteins. Thankfully, I did have a few extra slices of pancetta leftover from my turkey preparation. I prepared my turkey breast this year with a layer of pancetta under the turkey skin. This … Continue reading
I am thankful for the paleo diet. I credit this regimen for health and fitness levels that I’ve never had before. Aches and pains I use to think were a part of aging and slowing down have disappeared. Headaches were a common occurrence and Advil was sometimes a daily routine, not anymore.

My earlier post, Why You Need Stock, was a popular post. From the scientific standpoint, anthropologists say it was the extraction of nutrients from bones that kept caveman’s brain growing faster than other mammals. Aside from all that, I love a good soup. The difference between stock and soup is the additions you choose to … Continue reading
I spent this past weekend in Santa Barbara for a half marathon. With the reward of accomplishment and a new personal record comes the reward of a night on the town. A new dining experience is one of my favorite things to do, but dining out on the paleo diet can be challenging depending on … Continue reading
In looking for all the wonderful paleo foods to try, it feels great to return to one of my favorites. No matter what vegetables are in season, I always turn to this meal. Eggs are versatile and can be used in so many ways. I limit my yolk intake to 2 or 3 a week … Continue reading
