A friend once brought this fudge to a Christmas exchange I host and it was soo good! I made a few tweaks to a very basic, easy recipe to make it more Paleo friendly. Even though I make it with less sugar, it’s still a pretty sweet treat, but the complexity of the cinnamon and...
Christmas is coming like a freight train and it’s all I can do to keep from getting flattened. I am hosting Christmas dinner again, which I always do and love having family over. My menu will be almost identical to years past and be a mixture of paleo and non-paleo items. We try...
This is fast becoming my favorite party food. It’s perfect for potlucks, summer parties, or football tailgates. While not perfectly paleo (it contains cream cheese), it’s pretty close and the addition of sweet potato reduces the amount of cream cheese required. Many bacon jalapeno recipes wrap the bacon around the jalapeno. In this version,...
I was first introduced to the “paleo” style of eating when I participated in a nutrition challenge at my Crossfit gym last year. I ended up being one of three winners. We are getting ready to start another “Performance Nutrition Challenge” so I thought I’d share my tips for success. These tips should be helpful to anyone embarking...

After church on Sunday, I was craving breakfast food and looking to try something new. We often eat out after church with my dad and my brother and his family, but on this day, it was just me and the kids. After doing a little searching on UrbanSpoon (love that app!), I...

No menu plan this week, Thanksgiving and my daughter’s 9th birthday are coming, so my culinary efforts are focused on those two events. Thankfully, I am not *in charge* of Thanksgiving, but will be providing some Paleo-rific sides to the Thanksgiving feast. If you are looking for side dishes to round out your...
Just because you eat like a caveman, doesn’t mean you have to rely on the same tools Grok used. Here’s a rundown of some of my favorite kitchen gadgets and tools that make it easier to cook paleo / primal meals. You definitely don’t need all of these things, but you may find something...
On November 1, 2011 I took my first foundations class. On November 3rd, I participated in my first official Crossfit WOD. It’s now a year later, and according to my workout journal, I’ve logged 240 WODs since then. I thought it would be fun to reflect on the impact Crossfit has made on my...
