Announcing The Paleo Parents Team

Posted by Stacy on Feb 28, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 3 comments

But You’re a Family – What Do You Mean TEAM?! Over the years that we’ve been running this blog, we’ve found that we simply just cannot keep up with everything we want to do with it. Try as we might, this is not a full-time job for us – in fact, Stacy’s full-time career is very demanding. As are the 3 blonde boys that Matt runs after all day long. There’s a house to clean, food to cook and children to care for all on top of writing cookbooks, interviewing with the media, running a podcast and keeping up with this blog. Admittedly, it’s gotten out...

A Fat Girl’s Confession on Starting Crossfit

Posted by Stacy on Jan 24, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 8 comments

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you – no doubt – have seen my CrossFit photos lately. I want to take this opportunity to sincerely, genuinely apologize for inundating you with photos of me doing stuff that probably irritates, annoys, confuses or befuddles most of you (which I’m also about to do in this post). Please understand, when you’ve been sitting on your arse for a year recovering from an autoimmune flair and adrenal fatigue and then get in the gym and deadlift 193lbs, you want to shout it from the rooftop and tell everyone you know. Especially after...

What Are We Using These Days? GIVEAWAY

Posted by Matthew on Oct 23, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 112 comments

From time to time, we like to update you on the stuff that we are ordering online. It all started years ago when we were tracking our own Amazon Subscribe & Save items through the blog. Then, as the blog grew we found that our recommendations were helpful for those of you trying to figure out what you might like conveniently delivered to your door. You can still find our favorite Amazon items on the sidebar of the blog, but these are the latest and greatest things we’ve been enjoying; we hope that our recommendations help you out in some way! And of course, like Oprah, we’re...

Practical Paleo Giveaway: Part 2 Recipe Review

Posted by Stacy on Aug 9, 2012 in 2012 | 212 comments

As we speak, Stacy and I are making the eight hour drive from Virginia to Massachusetts, my place of origin, for the Sustainable Feast in the Barn and to visit out friends who are attending the Ancestral Health Symposium. That will be awesome, but I’m also kind of tickled to be back in Concord, where I haven’t been since I moved at age 6. I used to live a five minute walk from here! In the meantime, you’ll not be hearing from us until at least Sunday. So as a consolation, how about a giveaway? As Stacy said on Tuesday, we are super fans of Practical Paleo (the #14...

Favorite Things Giveaway!

Posted by Stacy on Jul 3, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 209 comments

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED, CONGRATULATIONS TO Sharmista FOR WINNING THE PURE WRAPS! I struggled with the name of this post, ultimately I feel like you’re expecting me to wave my arms around and shout “and you get a car, and you get a car, and you get a car”. Heads up: that’s not going to happen. However, we will give one of the items below away to a random commenter – see bottom of post for rules. Since we’ve been feeling hum drum Negative Nancy lately – it felt like high time to talk about some stuff we LIKE. The results are a list of our new...

Eat Like a Dinosaur: Video and More!

Posted by Stacy on Feb 13, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 2 comments

I’m too excited to make this a long post. In case you hadn’t heard me on repeat for the last few months, we’ve got a book coming out soon. We’ve got a section of our site dedicated to more info on it, but here’s the gist: it’s about eating real food, as a family; getting kids excited about cooking; spending time together and bringing joy to things that sometimes can make you feel different. But I’ve written enough about that. How about a video that explains it better? p.s. can we give a big round of applause to Matt for doing that himself? p.s.s. can...

Want a Personalized Letter and Peek into Eat Like a Dinosaur?

Posted by Stacy on Dec 22, 2011 in 2011, Featured | 0 comments

Have you pre-ordered our book? Are you thinking about it? Are you still trying to figure out what to get people for the holidays? It occurred to us that you might have pre-ordered our book to give someone this holiday season. Or, perhaps you wish you could give it to them as a holiday gift but want something in hand. So, we put our heads together to come up with something you could have more than just an Amazon receipt to give them. The result was the idea to give everyone with a pre-order number a personalized e-mail directly from us about how excited we are to share it with them. And as a...

Posted by Stacy on Dec 12, 2011 in 2011, Featured | 4 comments

As you get ready to bake, double boil and beautify with ribbons and glitter for the 12 days of Christmas, or whichever holiday your family may choose to celebrate, consider some of our favorite Paleo(ish) treats! Although I wouldn’t call these “healthy” I will say that they offer a lot more nutrition and are less toxic to your liver than what you may have previously made at the holidays. There are lots of fun recipes to make with your kids in the following list, we hope you can make new traditions with some of these. Plus, we figured since a lot of you are new(ish) to...

ELD: 1st Sneak Peak

Posted by Stacy on Nov 16, 2011 in 2011 | 0 comments

You awesome people have “liked” our book over at Amazon enough for another iteration in the series of glimpses into Eat Like a Dinosaur. We can’t believe how quickly this is all happening! I was at a book fair at Cole’s school yesterday and realized that someday our book might one day be sitting among all the other awesome kids’ books in the library. I got a bit choked up, honestly. We’re ever so grateful for your support. Every time we check Amazon and see our book still there, we’re surprised. We keep waiting for the Paleo Police to come declare us...

The Making Of Eat Like a Dinosaur: Part 1

Posted by Stacy on Oct 25, 2011 in 2011, Featured | 0 comments

For the last several months, every time our family eats a snack or a meal, someone at the table is uttering the following phrases: “This is good enough for the book!” or “I think you need to try this one again. NOT good enough for the book.” The individual saying this is almost always a young boy. We wrote a book hoping you, fellow parents, would want to buy it (obviously). But ultimately our main motivator was to write a book for and about our children. The boys have had as much a hand in crafting this book as Matt and I and their input is all over the pages. Yes,...

Packing a Paleo Lunch is Easier Than You Think

Posted by Stacy on Aug 19, 2011 in 2011, Featured | 37 comments

Thanks to Sunny, I finally have the motivation to make a post that’s been long overdue. I know one of the hardest challenges for us in the beginning of adapting a Paleo lifestyle (that’s removal of dairy, grains, legumes, sugar, chemicals and all processed foods) was figuring out what to pack for lunch. Breakfast was easy enough, since we love eggs. And dinner can simply be solved by replacing grains with salad on most meals we were making before. But lunch, what a challenge! However, lunch really isn’t that hard – or at least it doesn’t need to be. It took a few...

Amazon Subscribe and Save Update

One of the most frequent questions we’re asked is how to make Paleo affordable. The question comes in a variety of ways, but ultimately people want to know how to minimize their wallet by optimizing their health. Truth be told, if you – like us – get immersed in this super elite Paleo underground, the more evolved your food choices will be and of course Polyface meat costs more than the super market. However, there are tips & tricks the average family can use to minimize impact to their monthly budget. The good news is, without chips, cookies and crackers to buy you’ll...
