One thing a lot of people notice when they start eating Paleo is that, unless you plan well, it’s hard to eat something on the fly. That’s because when we eat on the go, we’re usually eating something that doesn’t need to be cooked, which means it is shelf-stable. Shelf-stable foods are frequently processed –…
I’ve had sweet zucchini muffins previously; they are very similar to banana or carrot breads. But these are savory zucchini muffins. They’re lower in sugar than their sweet counterparts, and they also have a few other veggies tucked into them to add to the nutritional value and the complexity of flavor in the muffin. These…
Who doesn’t love a big hunk of crusty bread with a bowl of soup? Oh, wait, me. I don’t love that anymore. I used to, but now that I eat Paleo, big chunks of bread are out. But if you’re like me, sometimes a bowl of soup needs something on the side. Something to add…
But zucchini noodles—or zoodles—are one substitute I can really get behind. Long, thin strips of squash really do remind you of pasta, especially when they’re topped with marinara sauce or sautéed like chow mein. This recipe is another great example of zucchini noodles’ star power. In a restaurant, you’d typically find ramen or rice noodles…
Just like most slow cooker recipes, this recipe has three basic components: a protein, liquid and flavorings. Although the original Stroganoff recipe was beef, the chicken version is pretty popular today and it lets you cut down on the fat while retaining the protein and flavor. And really, the slow cooker is the best way…
If you’re like me, the word “tortilla” immediately conjures up images of chips and salsa or maybe a giant burrito wrapped in a soft wheat tortilla. Of course, if it were that kind of tortilla, it wouldn’t jive with my Paleo diet. But this tortilla is entirely different: it’s a Spanish tortilla. A Spanish tortilla…
I recently moved into a new apartment and I was reminded how moving is, like, just about the worst thing a first world person has to live through on occasion. The packing, the taping, the heaving and hauling (ok, I had movers. But still.), the unpacking, the unpacking, the unpacking… unpacking takes me forever. But…
I have a friend who is in the midst of starting his own business. It’s a great company – they’re going to sell athletic apparel that is 100% organic, made out of recycled materials, and is completely Fair Trade. I really admire what Steve is doing – but, boy, watching him work at this will…
There’s something about alfredo sauce that just makes you want to have another bite. That creaminess and buttery flavor definitely has something to do with it. At first I thought I was out of luck when it came to ordering my favorite pasta dish at restaurants. No more alfredo sauce??? That’s just not acceptable. Time…
