It’s rare that I drink these days…it’s pretty counterproductive to my training and makes me sleep like crap. That doesn’t mean that I don’t think about it sometimes – and occasionally it’s a bit longingly. The other day, I thought of one of my BFF Greg and our Thelma and Louise inspired road trip last … Continue reading »

Spinach + tomato + cucumber + sweet onion + avocado + cilantro + olive oil + lime juice
Easy Paleo Meals 017: Meatballs and Sauce
Easy oven-baked meatballs + tomato sauce + raw peppers + raw cucumber…I threw this together in minutes as my lunch. Keep the meatballs on hand as a meal or snack. Read labels to make sure the tomato sauce is free of extra sugar or yucky chemicals.
Green Juice
Seems like juicing is the new make-your-own-kraut craze in the Paleosphere, huh? While I don’t think juice should replace how you consume all your fruits and vegetables [juices contain no fiber and the act of chewing sends powerful signals to your brain that eating is in progress...logical, right?], as a occasional way to add in … Continue reading »

These tasty bites use cucumber as the crunchy (cracker-like?) component upon … Continue reading »
Pineapple-Avocado Salsa
Sometimes I get bored of regular salsa, and I’m not one to buy fruit at the market very often – I just don’t fancy it all that much, unless we’re talking about berries in season. Lately, I’ve made a couple of fruit salsas to brighten up some otherwise heavy winter dishes. It’s easy to switch … Continue reading »
Holy Guacamole Salad
I’ll admit it: I love the Food Network. While I’m more drawn to shows like Chopped! and Iron Chef America, I decided to watch an old episode of Barefoot Contessa yesterday. Normally, Ina’s food isn’t really up my alley but her recipe for Guacamole Salad spoke to me right away. Only bummer…it wasn’t paleo. A … Continue reading »

I fell in love with Green Papaya Salad on my trip to Bali last summer. We took a side trip to Nusa Lembongan, a tiny island off the coast of Bali and spent a couple days snorkeling and enjoying maximum relaxation time. While there, we dined outside at a Thai restaurant and I had my … Continue reading »
