Meals for the Week meets the Road Forager
If you don’t already know, Julie, Scott and I went on a 17 day book tour that had us city hopping from Charleston to San Francisco and all parts in between. It was an amazing trip with tons of inspirational moments, fun and truly awesome experiences. Our 10-month-old Paleo baby, Scott, was in tow along… Continue Reading
Consumed By Food…
There are these two guys. I LOVE THEM. They never ask me to bring them a beer or steal the remote control. They make me feel good and comfort me when I’m having a bad day. They are both totally cool with each other; in fact they’re even in business together. I guess some people… Continue Reading
What Kind of Hungry Are You?
Repeat after me, “Ice Cream (or food/drink of your choice) is NOT the miracle cure for (insert current life problem here).” Come on- say it with me, “Ice cream is NOT the miracle cure for a bad day.” Okay, now let’s try this one, “I do not need to eat Breakfast at 7am, lunch… Continue Reading
The Shelves Overfloweth With New Paleo Reading (and Cooking) Material…
Remember when the only paleo books on the market were “The Paleo Diet” and “The Paleo Solution”? It was a time before iPads and smart phones, back when we still had to read books with pages… Honestly, I’m not entirely sure how we survived… Well, lucky for us we are no longer stuck living in… Continue Reading
90/10, 80/20, 40/60… What’s Your Paleo Percentage?
Conversation overheard at the gym: Ripped dude with six-pack abs and biceps that would shut down any military gun show: “Yeah, you know, I’m not like 100% paleo. I’d say I’m probably about 90/10.” New guy with pony-keg abs, wearing Velcro tennis shoes: “Cool, so you can still have beer and pizza sometimes?” Biceps: “Sure… Continue Reading

It’s a hot summer day and you’re cruisin’ around town in your sweet ride trying not to melt. You glance up the street and THERE. IT. IS. The answer to your 120 degree problem – “The Smoothie King” is going to save the kingdom (well, maybe not but you get the idea). You pull into… Continue Reading
Adventures in Digestive Distress – (Also Known As Dining Out…)
It’s another beautiful Sunday morning and the family has decided that a trip to Denny’s for breakfast sounds like a good plan. You’re thinking, “Yeah this ‘Denny’ dude is alright –I can make this work.” “I’ll get some eggs, bacon, sausage and maybe I’ll even splurge on – “The Fruit Cup” (GASP!).” It seems… Continue Reading
Veggie Burgers, Meatless Chicken and Paleo Bread
Let’s take a trip to the grocery store. We’ll start in the refrigerated meat and cheese section. All the ‘usual suspects’ are present – Louis Rich, Oscar Mayer, Carl Buddig, the Kraft family has a nice showing and Applegate Farms even made it. Looking a bit further there’s also some ‘foreign looking’ stuff… “Smart Deli”,… Continue Reading
Why Am I STILL Broken???
We’re gonna start this mini-novel with a story about someone that I know very well (total nutcase, seriously). This individual has been Paleo for about 3-4 years now. She’s definitely not ‘militant paleo’ – but with the exception of an occasional, sane, off-road – pretty darn close. Her training – well that’s kind of a… Continue Reading
