Our NEW Favorite Things and a giveaway!
And you get a car, and you get a car, and you get a car! OK, maybe not. But Spring is coming and Mrs. O is no longer doing her show’s big Favorite Things episode, so how about one for you all? One of you will win your choice of one of of our favorite things! Several times now we’ve highlighted to you some of the things we’re loving in what have become our Favorite Things series of posts. While we still love all of those things, there are some new things that we have really been digging lately and want to share them with all of you. We talk about them on Facebook, Instagram...
Read MoreGuest Post: Nummy for My Tummy, Carrot Cupcakes
Today we would like to introduce to you Jess from Nummy for My Tummy. Her blog is a wonderful addition to the “Paleo Blogosphere” and we love her approach because it is very similar to ours. To quote her tagline, both our families are “Balancing Work, Family, and Food to Create a Healthier Life.” We hope you take some time to check out her site and look around and what she has to offer. We love her blog’s design, and the stories about her family that go along with her recipes. Take it away Jess! My daughter loves the idea of carrot cake, but is simply...
Read More3 Phase Paleo Review Round-Up #2
People just can’t stop cooing and gushing over our new baby…. I mean ebook. But seriously, writing a book sometimes really does feel like giving birth. When the idea first pops in your head, you are giddy with excitement. During the writing process, or “pregnancy” you do all you can to prepare it for a good life, and at times, you get a bit emotional. You might stress eat a bit, and you might lose some sleep. You decorate the baby’s room so that it has a wonderful place to live…. I mean you design the book, creating beautiful pages for your recipes to...
Read MoreN’Oatmeal Cookies
We’re a cookie family. You might not realize that because there aren’t THAT many cookies on the blog, but we love cookies. In Eat Like a Dinosaur we made dozens of test batches of (the now famous) Anytime Cookies and Chocolate Chip Cookies to get them just right, because we care that much about the quality of a good, chewy cookie. We don’t end up posting a lot of recipes for cookies on the blog, but that’s mainly because we really enjoy making other people’s recipes and when we’re ready for an indulgence without thinking too much we let the boys pick out...
Read MoreGelatin Jigglers Fruit Snacks – Healthy Nourishing Gummies
One of the things that Stacy learned when she was in California was that there are some of you out there that refer to her as “The Broth Lady.” I guess that’s understandable. I mean, I’ve named an entire line of soups after her and she does constantly posts photos like this and started the #bonebrothheals hashtag. Now the reason she’s obsessed with stock is that it is truly a great nourishing and nutrient dense food. Especially since it has collagen building properties due to the gelatin; who doesn’t want glycine, proline and all kinds of awesome amino-acid...
Read MoreCinnamon Raisin (not) Rice Pudding by Cole
One time at the Eastern Market I saw rice pudding but I was not allowed to have it because it had dairy and sugar and rice. Instead my mom said we could make our own pudding at home. But I still wanted rice pudding. Mom said we could try to make something the tasted just like it. So we went home and made this recipe. My favorite part of making this recipe was how easy it was and then I got to shake it up! I liked it because it was fun doing it and you could see the chia seeds jumping up and down inside. And even though the rice pudding at the Eastern Market didn’t have raisins, we...

Read MoreThird Annual Halloween Round-Up!
For three years now, we’ve been advocating trying a different style of Halloween celebration. With so much of the holiday devoted to the massive consumption of candy and away from the more fun aspects of the tradition (namely, the spooky dress up and the fun fright activities), it’s our belief that making Halloween fun without wanton corn syrup consumption ought to be one of our goals. It’s a goal that I, personally, feel is very worthy. Halloween isn’t meant to be an excuse to binge. It’s a celebration of bravery. No, really. The origins of Halloween lay in...
Read MorePumpkin Delights Cookies
Growing up, I didn’t fall for Twinkies and Ho-Hos. I didn’t pine for Oreos or Chips Ahoy. I didn’t even like most Girl Scout Cookies. Nope, I had to wait for my packaged sugar bomb of choice. I had to wait for September so that I could buy the greatest confection the processed food industry ever came up with. I needed to consume mass quantities of Pumpkin Delights! How could you not love these soft pumpkin spice cookies with their sweet pumpkin jelly peeking out of the jack o’lantern eyes? I mean, just look at it! Don’t you want to eat an entire box? No,...
Read MoreCole’s Mango Madness
If you asked Cole what his favorite fruit in the world was, he would definitely say “Mango!” And really, how can you blame him? They’re perfectly appealing to a kid. Very sweet, soft, and slippery, a mango is truly a golden treasure. But mangoes have their difficulties, too. While not so maddeningly frustrating as, say, Cole’s second favorite fruit, the pomegranate, mangoes are not particularly fun to prepare. They’re so incredibly juicy and sticky that they give me literal nightmares. They also have the oddest seed of all plants, a oval-shaped oversized disk...
Read MoreEating Evolved Review by Cole
Stay tuned to the end of the post for a giveaway and special discount code at Eating Evolved! Ever since we first met them at AHS 2012 and bought a box enticingly labelled “Bacon Truffles”, our go-to candy company has been Eating Evolved. Not only are they awesome adult treats, but our kids love them too. Consisting of all paleo-friendly, organic ingredients, we don’t feel bad letting our kids have one or two (or three) on occasion. Finn, our sneakiest of children, once attempted to intercept a package of them for himself when he found it on the front stoop. We found...
Read MoreArcadia Farm Camp
Please note, this post is by our youngest Review Team member – our almost 8yo son Cole. He had such a wonderful time learning about the lifecycle of growing real foods then cooking with them this summer at Arcadia summer camp that he wanted to share a review on the blog with you all. He can’t wait to go back next year, when his younger brother Finian will also be able to go with him… not that that prevented Finn from going to all the open house events held because he “loves bugs and getting dirty”. ♥♥♥ My mom and I were looking for camps before school ended...
