I’ve ruined at least 5 or 6 sacrificial roasts before finally getting the hang of it. I’ve tried slow cooking in the crock pot, on the stove-top, and in the oven. Each attempt produced dry, hard-as-a-rock beef but yummy vegetables! We ended up just turning the meat into tacos. Grass-fed roasts add another layer to
I saw this image (source) on facebook, and thought I’d repost it here, along with my thoughts on each benefit. MORE EFFICIENT WORKOUTS: I don’t work out, so I can’t really say. Maybe Joe has some insights on that one? STABLE BLOOD SUGAR: Although I’ve never had my blood sugar tested, intuitively, I know
DIY condiments- something I never considered attempting until I went paleo. That’s when I started noticing all the sugar, corn syrup, funky oils, and preservatives in ketchup, bbq sauce, and mayo. Come to find out, mayo is quite tricky, especially if you are a sloppy cook like I am and don’t like to stick to
Kristin suggests there’s some hidden perfectionism that, lately, keeps me from publishing a completed blog post. I wonder how much truth there is to that. Tonight, it struck me there’s a bigger problem lurking in the wings. I’ve just begun reading Distracted by Maggie Jackson; only a few pages in though I’m already convinced there’s
Scrolling through my cell phone pictures from this month alone, I found 3 separate pictures of lamb sliders! Clearly, they are a big hit in my family. I adore the coolness of the yogurt sauce and the crunch of the lettuce leaves. Most of all, they are foolproof. Such an easy way to prepare the
Besides the usual protein burgers, taco salads, Italian Sausage Soup, and steaks, here’s a quick look at our noteworthy meals of late… Ketogenic Pizza is crazy delicious. It takes 24 pieces of basket-weaved bacon to create this work of art (or just 12 pieces if you use super thick bacon). Joe even made his own yogurt
This gluten-free processed-sugar-free recipe is in honor of Valentine’s Day! I made my hubby a dozen of these, knowing full well that I will probably eat most of them. He has way too much self-control, that boy. But he is a true chocolate lover (99% chocolate is his fav!), and I think he’ll appreciate
Costa Rica was pretty much exactly what I envisioned- the lush tropical foliage, wildlife, unspoiled beaches, and the friendly local folk won me over immediately. If you’re thinking of going, GO! It’s relaxed, beautiful, and very safe. But the one area of disappointment for me was the food, and this really surprised me! First, let
Well, I’ve been quite the absentee blogger in 2013. January was a month of travels, of planning for what’s to come this year, and spending more of my free time away from soul-devouring technology. Refreshing, to say the least. It’s one month into this year, so here’s to reflecting a bit on how we got
*I’m revealing my weight in this post. I’m really not weight-obsessed, but it is good to have real proof that this diet is “working”. I use the scale as a tool and a motivator, but not in an obsessive kind of way. My weight can fluctuate up to 4 pounds from day to day, depending
