It is rare that I post a Veggie only recipe which is odd because I love to get creative with my veggies. Whole Foods has a pre-made root veggie cake that looks amazing (and apparently tastes pretty ...
It’s that time of year again…New Year’s Eve! Perhaps you are wallowing in misery over the fact that you weigh more than you did at the beginning of last year when you promised your...
“She’s got legs….She knows how to use them…” ZZ Top anyone? We bought 1/2 of a lamb from my friend’s farm back in August and have had the leg sitting in the free...
This is my contribution to my Christmas dinners this year….a Cranberry Orange compote to go with the big bird. I love cranberry sauce, but most cranberry sauce recipes are loaded with refined ...
I’m alive!!! It’s been so long since my last post and I am long overdue. I knew it was time to get crackin when my parents finally noticed my last post about my farting confessions. I had for...
Confession: I used to be the QUEEN OF FARTS. That’s right, I used to be able to out-fart any guy on both sound and quantity and I was not embarrassed about it – I guess growing up with an old...
One thing I sometimes miss is a sweet BBQ sauce….especially when it comes to ribs. I’ve made ribs before using spice rubs and/or other Paleo/Primal BBQ sauces, but I haven’t found ...
I can’t believe it has been over a month since my last post….This is definitely the longest that I’ve been ‘dark.’ I had to take some time away from blogging to focus on getting down to business, sc...
Sitting pretty Once you shove a can of beer up a chicken’s butt you will never go back…I mean, you will never handle a chicken the traditional way or “missionary style” again....
If you have read this blog before, then you know I love a reason to write Oprah into a blog post (see here and here and here). I had really hoped for 1 last Oprah post before her farewell season end...
I’m interrupting my normal blogging for a public service announcement: Tanning beds are bad. Don’t use them. Get your moles checked out and don’t postpone the appointment. I wish ...
Apparently it’s Star Wars day (because it’s May 4th…. “May the 4th be with you”)…I know, lame. BUT, I had this post floating in my head for the past couple of weeks and as soon as I foun...

It has been YEARS since I had a Latte and I must admit that I miss them. I was a “Grande Non-Fat Latte” or “Double Tall Non-Fat Caramel Macchiato” kind of girl for years before I said goodbye to dai...
Last weekend I had the absolute pleasure of attending Robb Wolf’s Paleo Solution Seminar. More importantly, I was able to bring my mom who has heard my continuous praise of the Paleo lifestyle...
Lately I’ve been loving avocados….I go through phases where I can eat them everyday and then can’t stand them. I’ve recently been capitalizing on their versatility and using them as a substitu...
LONG TIME NO SPEAK!! I must apologize for my absence. Ever since my delightful Oprah post, I’ve been hitting the talk show scene taking interviews and being stalked by paparazzi. YA, riiiiight. A...
Breathe Summer, breathe…..OK, I had to cool off a bit before I wrote this post on Oprah’s latest craze of encouraging people to go Vegan or Vegan-ish (that word is going to be so trendy n...
Today we kicked off CrossFit Quantum’s GET REAL Nutrition Challenge!! I was pleasantly surprised with the turnout and was thrilled to see everyone’s enthusiasm. I can’t wait to see...
“Cheating” is a conversation point that comes up a lot in the Paleo/Primal world or any nutritional world. People seek guidelines or advice on how to “cheat.” I have been wanting to do a post on th...
Screw resolutions….I’m proposing a better mantra for 2011: “What would Zack Morris do?” For the past few days (of my holiday), I have been spending my mornings watching 3 bac...
