Carla’s Bites of Bacon Wrapped Heaven

A couple of weekends back I had the privelege of attending a dinner party with a group of people so phenomenal that I actually get a little nervous everytime I get around them. They all have such remarkable life stories and endless spunk! I left that evening inspired for action/direction for my own life PLUS a [...]

Want more Budget Paleo fun? Want to be trendy by using a hot TV chef’s recipe? Here’s Curtis Stone’s recipe from his appearance on The Today Show’s segment “Showdown!

Leftover Love

This past weekend I had ever intention of making a how-to video of Veronica’s recipe for cooking a whole chicken. My friend Daniel was over at my apartment for 4.5 hours trying to fix my laptop with no luck. While I had plenty of time to clean my office, kitchen, and living room, I still [...]

Meetings, Travel, & Dining Out

This past week I was up in DC for work. I wind up travelling for work just 2 to 3 times per year, so I’m very lucky that I’m not on the road more, fighting to stay paleo. Travelling paleo is tricky. It really is. It requires some extra effort, maybe a little extra dinero, [...]

Sometimes Others Say It Better

Okay, peeps! I’ve spent the past few days planning in my head where to start with this whole Budget Paleo/Domestically Disabled series. In what I’m going to claim as a case of Great Minds Think Alike (really, she’s got the great mind and I’m just directing you to the genius), I present you with a [...]

Paleo Budget Finds

Three free-range chickens, all in a row As the new year continues to march forward I’ve had to think quite a bit about my personal goals, as well as, the TLSP goals. Unfortunately, unlike my fellow TLSP-ers, I’m not much of a cook. I’m able to follow their delicious recipes and, when all is said [...]

Another Paleo-Prolo Connection

Back in November our TSLP nurse, Veronica, brought us information on Prolotherapy. For me, it couldn’t have come at a better time. Just a few weeks after her post appeared I was diagnosed with a labral tear in my hip. Everyone seems to go the surgery route to correct a labral tear. Prolotherapy, however, is [...]

What’s Behind the Curtain?

For me, the most interesting part of the Paleo Challenge was that my body failed on it pretty miserably. If you go back and read my posts or comments compared to others, I complained about roller coaster energy levels, cravings that didn’t disappear, and though I might not have mentioned it, a scale that didn’t [...]

Quickie – A Hint of Paleo in the Mainstream

Not all the time, but often I like to watch Dr. Oz during lunch. Sometimes his demonstrations are gross but it’s always informative and the man rarely bends to the food pyramid. In fact, he brings on experts who go against the grain (hehe, pun intended) and praise the importance of free range and grass-fed [...]

Sometimes When You Paleo, You Fail

Sometimes When You Paleo, You Fail

I love to bake. Putting on a pretty apron, measuring out the ingredients, creating a whirlwind in the kitchen, the smell, the licking of the bowl after…I love everything about baking. However, Paleo baking (PB) is a whole different world. With traditional baking I can follow recipes and know with confidence that the end result will [...]
