Creamy Coconut Chocolate Chip Macaroons

Posted by Matthew on Aug 28, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 41 comments

As we’ve discussed before, there comes a time, about once a month, when Stacy starts getting an uncontrollable urge to bake. Unfortunately, what she wants is sometimes very vague and described in terms like “creamy” or “coconutty” or “chocolatey.” Then it’s up to me to make what she’s thinking about. Sometimes I hit it and sometimes, most of the time, I can’t figure out what she ever wanted. This time, though, I knew exactly what creamy, coconutty, chocolatey thing she wanted. She wanted this recipe. Unfortunately, the almond flour...

Healthy Lunchbox Alternatives, a Guest Post for And Love it Too

Posted by Matthew on Aug 27, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 20 comments

If you recall, last year we did a guest post for Sunny of And Love it Too on packing paleo lunches for school. We’ve included those ideas for you at the end as our daily suggestions. As a quick reminder, we also discussed the topic of healthy lunches quite extensively on the first episode of our podcast, The Paleo View. We also cover this topic in our book, Eat Like a Dinosaur. Due to our personal experiences last year with lunch packing, when Sunny asked us this year to contribute to her annual round-up, we wanted our annual post to focus more on food “replacers” as an...

What Losing 135lbs Looks Like

Posted by Stacy on Aug 20, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 265 comments

So, I’ve previously talked about what losing 100lbs feels like. And then we followed that up with what losing 200lbs feels like. This post isn’t about that. This post is about the reality of being happy with your body, because you’re healthy, and for that reason alone. That said, I specifically request you not bombard the comments of this post with suggestions on how to tighten my skin with bone broth, improve imperfections you see or discuss anything other than acceptance of ourselves. We women are our own worst enemies, we are the creators of judgement against our own...

Banana Pumpkin Pucks

Posted by Stacy on Aug 19, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 33 comments

As you know, Stacy has been doing the autoimmune protocol for several weeks now. No, she has not yet gone insane and seems to be thriving quite well with it. It is an unfortunate fact, however, that our baking has pretty much ceased at this point. What could we possibly make that she could eat? No nuts means no almond flour and no eggs means no binder. All our old recipes are out of the question! But on one night when Stacy was really craving something desserty for the first time in a while, we needed to figure out something! Thus the idea to remake one of our signatures, the Pumpkin Pucks,...

Announcing The Paleo View Podcast

Posted by Matthew on Aug 16, 2012 in 2012, Featured, Podcasts | 1 comment

Last year, I introduced Stacy to podcasts, and she soon found out that several paleo podcasts already existed. She was hooked. I’d catch her listening to The Paleo Solution, Chris Kresser, Latest in Paleo, Jimmy Moore, Spunky Coconut and Balanced Bites. After a few months she asked me if we could do a podcast. I said I’m certainly able to record and edit her whenever she’d like! But the idea of hearing my voice for an hour each week was nerve wracking! So we tabled the idea for a while, but it was never forgotten by Stacy. Despairing that we’d never get it off the...
