Yes, this recipe calls for cream cheese.  Yes, cream cheese is a dairy product.  And yes, I know that dairy isn’t strictly Paleo; but guess what? Neither am I!  I’ve adapted a lifestyle that is live-able for ME, provides results for ME, and most importantly–is something that MY body responds positively to.  No two people [...]

When I first told one of my Paleo-eating/Crossfitting-purist friends about my ‘nut cracker’ recipe, his response anything less than enthusiastic.  ”Why do you need crackers?”, he asked, “Just eat real food!”  In response, let me just say that while I do eat real food, I want a cracker substitute to serve it on.

Lisa and I (collectively L7) were talking the other night about releasing a cookbook called L7 Skillet Recipes. We’d make zillions of dollars helping people eat Paleo/Primal. Whoohoo! Here’s how the idea started: we were making dinner while talking on the phone. I said: “I’m making a skillet. Ground beef, cabbage, and spinach. In pastured [...]
