Of course I miss french fries. Who wouldn’t? But given the potato’s high toxicity, I look for alternatives for an occasional treat. Many restaurants offer Sweet Potato Fries, so that should be your first choice over regular french fries if you MUST have them (no salt, please). Here’s the catch. Most restaurants also use deep … Continue reading
The easiest meal to make when you’re in a hurry? I call it, “The Big Pile”. A big pile of food. A pile of greens, a pile of carbs, a pile of protein. Basically, a big pile of nutrients. Mix and match, three separate piles, three layers of piles, either way, get the nutrients into … Continue reading
I’ve been really loving my grill lately. I was telling a friend that having my propane grill die may have been the best thing to happen because the next week, I found an old Weber at a garage sale for a mere $1. It forced me into the world of charcoal and the flavors have … Continue reading

To me, paleo means making better choices with my food. I’m fortunate to have a choice of what I put into my body. A lot of people don’t have a choice. If there was nothing to eat but rice, I’d eat rice. But there’s plenty of other foods to choose from so I don’t eat … Continue reading
I had family visiting this past weekend and took them to the local farmers’ market to shop for our family meal. It was a little overcast but I still intended on using the charcoal grill. I was thrilled to see great grass fed selections, fresh, wild fish and seafood, and plenty of organic produce. There … Continue reading
