I like hummus. But, being made of beans, I don’t reckon that it’s all that paleo or primal. What’s a caveman to do? I don’t remember how I found this site, maybe my wife pointed it out to me, but I found my answer over at Everyday Paleo: Walnut Red Pepper Dip 2 cups shelled [...]
It’s a blended ice drink using protein powder, so it’s definitely not paleo. Since I use a high quality powder from Optimum Nutrition, I guess it could be considered primal. But, even without either label, it is definitely good! To me, it tasted very much like a frappa-something from one of those exceedingly large, multinational [...]
For at least the past three years, I would get sick with a respiratory infection at some point in October or November. Two and three years ago, it was while I was visiting family for Thanksgiving. It is seriously not fun spending Thanksgiving day tracking down an urgent care facility in a small town and [...]
One of my absolute favorite “cheat” snacks is a few squares of Lindt Excellence 90% Cocoa Bar (Supreme Dark) slathered with a couple of tablespoons of Nutivia Coconut Oil. This is a 470 kcalorie snack, which is perfect for me as an intermittent faster. There are 48 grams of fat (37g saturated), 14 grams of [...]
I love Lindt chocolate. It’s not exactly paleo, but I just couldn’t give it up. I did, however, move up from the 50% (Smooth Dark) and 70% (Intense Dark) bars to the 90% (Supreme Dark) bar. I would link to the nutritional info, but it’s not on the Lindt website! They have the 85% bar [...]
OK, so I was stumbling around on the Internet when I found the AllRecipes.com Dinner Spinner (iPhone app). I don’t know that AR will have a lot of paleo/primal recipes to choose from–or, at least, there won’t be a paleo/primal category to choose from. However, me being me and free being free, I tried it [...]
Back in ’06, just before I ran the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half-Marathon here in Virginia Beach, I created a replacement of the USDA‘s food pyramid. Mark Sisson even used that original version in one of his posts: Sisson Says: Don’t “Loaf” Around. I had actually forgotten about it until I stumbled across Mark’s post. I could [...]
First of all, I like the title of Vin’s post so much that I just used it for my post… but that’s OK, because my post is just a link back to his! Great all around post that you should read, but this line says a lot on its own: If you condensed all of [...]
Meat Crust + Toppings = Meatza. Yummy! My wife and I used to do this often when we were doing Atkins. I think that maybe it’s time to do it again… though, perhaps with less cheese. As I recall, it was typically just a beef crust, but I really like the idea of pork… oh, [...]
Found this great tip at Tipnut: How To Cook Lots Of Hard Boiled Eggs At Once. Quick overview: Use your oven and an ice water bath. Our girls love hard boiled eggs… we can’t keep up with demand using the pots we have available. We’ll definitely have to try this out.
