Wellness Digital Bundle

Posted by Stacy on Feb 26, 2013 in 2013 | 2 comments

So the last time there was a super-fantastic e-Book bundle, we were on a no-spend month and I silently sobbed that I couldn’t take advantage of such a fantastic deal. This time, however, I’m off of no-spend month and this bundle is filled with e-Books I don’t yet have but would very much like to! I’m assuming it the same for you, so I’m sharing the information. Plus, you might recognize one of the e-books… How the Wellness Bundle will Benefit YOU! The Wellness Bundle was designed to help you reach your health goals more quickly, easily and...

Posted by Matthew on Jan 31, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 3 comments

This is Blendtec week! All of our posts this week will feature something we’ve done with our new blender. Don’t have a high speed blender and want one? Enter to win your own Blendtec Designer Series with Wildside and Twister Jar on Monday’s post. Even if you don’t acquire one, we hope these posts are still helpful for you!

Plus, if you can cook a chicken, you can cook a duck. Stacy, despite years of...

FINALLY, a Nut-Free Almond Flour Replacement Recommendation

Posted by Matthew on Jan 29, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 42 comments

This is Blendtec week! All of our posts this week will feature something we’ve done with our new blender. Don’t have a high speed blender and want one? Enter to win your own Blendtec Designer Series with Twister Jar on Monday’s post. Even if you don’t acquire one, we hope these posts are still helpful for you! We are constantly bombarded, on practically every single one of our recipes, with requests for modifications. Can you make these egg free? What if I don’t have palm shortening? I really hate bananas, so would an apple work? The answer to all of these is, of...

No Spend & No Sugar – Week 1

Posted by Stacy on Jan 8, 2013 in 2013 | 14 comments

Yowzer! Who would’ve thought there’d be such interest from you all in what I wasn’t even sure we should write about (since it’s not technically paleo)… our resolution to make January a No Spend month. I’ve gotten a disproportionate amount of requests to talk more about it – both on the blog and the podcast, so… here’s the nitty gritty. A Recap We’ve been doing no spend month for one week now and I can honestly say the first week was MUCH harder than the 21 Day Sugar Detox we’re also doing. However, I’ve realized –...

Caveman Feast

Posted by Stacy on Sep 24, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 4 comments

I’ve been online buddies with George, the author of the new e-book Caveman Feast, for quite a while now. I remember that while visiting us last year The Food Lovers watched me photograph photos for Eat Like a Dinosaur with a point-and-shoot camera and said, “Have you seen George at Civilized Caveman Creations photos? It’s amazing what he does with a point-and-shoot!” And that memory became etched in my mind as the first thing I knew about George. It should come as no surprise, that like quite a few of us in the community, George hoisted himself up by his boot-straps,...

Curry Fried Fish

Posted by Matthew on Sep 16, 2012 in 2012 | 9 comments

Occasionally, I’ll get urgent texts at about midday. An emergency has occurred and I must respond! Choices by Shawn has their fish and chips this weekend! WE MUST GO! For those just tuning in, Choices by Shawn is a local restaurant that has a dedicated gluten-free kitchen and a well-labelled menu that we find very easy to navigate towards friendly choices. Weekly, they have a special of the weekend. Every three months or so, that option is Stacy’s favorite, the gluten-free fish and chips. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but no one seems to sell fried fish that...

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...

WTF, Practical Paleo is AWESOME – Part 1

Posted by Stacy on Aug 7, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 17 comments

If you recall, I made a commitment to myself to do the WTF Plan. Short story results: I’ve lost 10lbs and feel much better. If you’re up for the long version, and my gushing review of Practical Paleo, I dare you to read the rest of this wordy post. WTF When I started my WTF Plan, I said I was going to eat eggs. And I did, for 3 days. But after a process of elimination, I realized on day 3 that I was having a reaction to them. I argued in my head that the new farmer I’d gotten them from at the Farmer’s Market must’ve been lying and really feeding the chickens soy...
