This week, we are keeping it simple, stupid. Your meals don’t always have to be fancy concoctions for them to be nutritious, full of flavor, and delicious. Some of these aren’t even “recipes”. They’re simply roasted meats with vegetables as sides. Before we went Paleo, a “simple” dinner included chicken breasts and a can of…
Primal Diet
My Primal FroYo Indulgence
Are you new to the Paleo or Primal way of life? When I was a newbie, I found myself missing some of my favorite treats like ice cream. There were just certain times that life called for something creamy, cold, and comforting. I did tons and tons of research on the grain-free lifestyle because I…
Paleo Meal Planning – CrockPot Week!
There were an ENORMOUS number of readers who wanted to see an entire week’s worth of CrockPot meals, so that’s what I’m delivering this week, with the help of PaleoPot. They have submitted their favorite meals and I’ve picked one of my own, that’s a total of FIVE CrockPot meals. That is enough to set…
Kid Friendly CrossFit…Where ARE YOU?
One of the first things people ask me when I tell them that we are a Paleo family is: “Do you do CrossFit?” To which I reply: “No, jerkwad, there’s no such thing as a CrossFit gym with child care.” btw: I LOVE that CrossFit – spelled just like that – is in the WordPress Dictionary. At…
Paleo Meal Planning – Save Time & Energy
I am strongly considering sharing my weekly Paleo meal planning with you all, so I figured I’d give it about a month and see what sort of response I get then make a final decision. I am not qualified to publish any sort of dietary or nutritional information on my blog, and this menu is…
Working Out, Re-finding My Motivation – Mamavation Monday
It’s been a really long time since I did any Paleo before & during pictures, and you’re not really going to get any in this post either. It’s not because I’ve gained weight, or fallen completely off of the grain-free wagon, it’s just because there haven’t been any positive changes in my body. I was…
Paleo Christmas Recipes – Your Complete Guide
I LOVE winter cooking, but last year when we started eating Paleo, I was so afraid that we would have to Indulge in a non-Paleo meal for Christmas. Much to my surprise, I found recipes for every, single traditional Christmas food that we always ate. We had snacks, sides, main dishes, and desserts without faltering…
Banana Berry Cuppa Cocoa Schmoothie Recipe
I woke up this morning to Grady SCREAMING. I’m going to go ahead and pretend that he was just singing “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to me at the very top of his lungs. I reluctantly crawled out of bed and rolled downstairs to fix myself a caffeinated beverage. I contemplated some scotch too but decided 7:23am might…
7 Months Paleo Update
It’s been a while since I gave an update into our Paleo journey. When The Workaholic moved to North Carolina and left us in Georgia for a few weeks, I slacked BIG. TIME. I packed the kitchen first because it is the most daunting room for me. I left out one pot, one pan, one…
The War on Peeps
I have a confession. Those flipping Easter Peeps started chirping my name as soon as the sun broke through the night sky on Easter morning. I was SO good. I told them, “No, Peeps! You stop chirping my name! I don’t want your melty, sugary selves in my bellah, messin’ up my blood sugar mojo!”…
