Dear America, Get Over Your Fat Phobia

Posted by Stacy on May 16, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 116 comments

This post brought to you by the dozens of people who e-mail and comment to me in order to provide unsolicited dietary advice at least daily that I should stop eating carbs in order to lose weight. Dear America, get over your fat phobia. Seriously, being overweight is nothing more than a simple fact. Weight is an indicator of health – not the definition. SEVEN out of TEN people in this country are overweight… you can’t judge and be afraid of 70% of America and still be happy with your own life. After having lost over 100lbs and keeping it off for 3 years I feel slightly...

Review, Cole: Steve’s Original Rocks – Blueberry Muffin LaraBar Wannabe Nut-free Recipe

Posted by Stacy on May 14, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 11 comments

Today Review Tuesdays have been taken over by one of our favorite members of the Paleo Parents Team, our 7 year-old son, Cole. After Cole reviewed Caveman Cookies a few weeks back, a few different companies have asked him to review their products as well. As yet, the only one he agreed to review himself was Steve’s PaleoGoods because he was already a huge fan of theirs. After receiving a gift card to shop online and pick out anything he wanted himself, then getting the box full of goodies, he was very excited! Additionally, he also wanted to write a recipe to go along with it! The...

UPDATE: Despite what Sarah and Stacy anticipated, we are experiencing technical difficulties getting iTunes set-up for the bonus show, please use CD Baby until we resolve these issues. Thanks for your patience! We teased it in Episode 38 of The Paleo View. We’ve teased it on our Facebook page. We’ve been eagerly anticipating its launch. And now it’s finally here! We hear all the time about how much the opening segment where Stacy and Sarah talk about Life, the Universe and Everything is everyone’s favorite. And several people have even asked for a spin off chat show...

Rocky Road Blondies

Posted by Stacy on May 11, 2013 in 2012, Featured | 2 comments

As mentioned in Hayley’s recent (donut) post, often we visit with her she (politely) requests Urban Poser’s honey-sweetened Marshmallows accompany the visit. Matt has some sort of magic over Jenni’s marshmallows and they come out wonderfully perfect and puffy each time. So when I was talking with Bill & Hayley about visiting for their Gather Release Party and I offered to bring something for their dessert table I knew exactly what to expect. I wanted to bring two things, so I also checked with Diane and Aimee (my travel companion) and was enthusiastically encouraged to...

A Look Inside Beyond Bacon – Recipe Reveals & Giveaway!

Posted by Stacy on May 8, 2013 in 2013, beyond bacon, Featured | 234 comments

First things first, a few celebratory notes: This is our 500th blog post. FIVE HUNDRED BLOG POSTS. Y’all should be set on content for a while, right? This week is our 3 year paleo-versary! We lost 200lbs, gained our health and changed our lives… no big deal. We were on TV. We have a really special podcast coming out on Mother’s Day. In an attempt to recoup some podcasting costs it’s going to be the first of what we hope to be a monthly series which will be $.99 to download each, but we hope it’s worth every penny. No need to buy, but if you’re interested...

Look Ma, We’re On TV!

Posted by Stacy on May 6, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 8 comments

In the midst of everything else we had going on the last few weeks, we got a request from a local news team for an interview about our family’s experience with Paleo. Of course, we were thrilled to help spread our positive thoughts on how real food can affect a family! It’s our hope that other families watching their morning news would be inspired to give paleo a try if it means not just losing weight, but drastically improving health too. So we (nervously) invited a news crew with bright lights and a big camera into our home for a few hours to hang out and watch us prepare a...

Behind the Scenes at the Beyond Bacon Family Photo Shoot

Posted by Stacy on Apr 21, 2013 in 2013 | 8 comments

Back in the day the blog was just that – a place where our family did a brain dump, posted untouched photos from our phone or point-and-shoot, and jotted down foods we wanted to remember for next time. It has obviously evolved over time into something much more than we could have imagined, which is great, but we lost that connection to the now as it happens. But now that Monica’s here we actually got time again to blog about the stuff we want to share, instead of spending that time with the administrative upkeep of the blog! I know, I know… you guys are mostly here for the...

Stacy’s Skintervention and Primal Life Organics Review

Posted by Stacy on Apr 11, 2013 in 2013 | 35 comments

Stay tuned you deal loving readers, I’m delivering a spectacular deal at end of this post! The upcoming Episode 34 of The Paleo View all about teeth & skin guest stars Liz of Cave Girl Eats, the genius behind The Skintervention Guide, and Trina, creator and owner of Primal Life Organics, Paleo Skincare (PLO). And when we recorded that show I said I’d been sitting on a draft post of the before and after results from using the Skintervention guidance and PLO for weeks. Problem is, ever since my autoimmune flare last year, my skin has been the pits. Seriously, there have been...

Salted Dark Chocolate Truffle Cookies

Posted by Stacy on Apr 8, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 16 comments

We keep a board on Pinterest of recipes we want to Paleoize. You may recall our popular Monster Cookie Dough Dip and PB&J Sandwich Cookies, each inspired by this board. And now, these insanely delicious looking Salted Dark Chocolate Truffle Cookies are the next on our list. They’re incredibly rich and delicious, just what this lady needs once a month… Dark Chocolate Salted Truffle Cookies (dairy & grain-free and option for nut-free too!) Ingredients: 6 oz by weight (almost 1 cup) unsweetened chocolate, in 1 oz chunks 1 1/4 C semi-sweet or dark chocolate (we used Enjoy...

Beyond Bacon: FAQs

Posted by Stacy on Apr 6, 2013 in 2013, beyond bacon, Featured | 34 comments

After an amazing week away from work and the routine of life, we have returned from our mini-vacation refreshed! We’ve been away from the blog too long, and for that we sincerely apologize. We’re looking forward to getting back into the kitchen blogging recipes and talking about our day-to-day life. Of course, the main reason for our disappearance (as we warned about here) is because Beyond Bacon is in the process of being put into its layout, edited and wrapped up in a pretty bow for the printer in order to make sure it gets into your hands by July 2, 2013! Now that all of the...
