The Label Says Paleo

The key complaint I hear from folks getting started on the road to eat Paleo/Primal is that they miss their old conventional foods especially around breakfast. With a little creativity and experimenting,  there are a number of alternative recipes for breakfast favorites. A while back I had posted a recipe for chocolate coconut pancakes. I  got [...]

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 [...]

For Christmas, I got The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. I read the entire thing on the plane ride home, and I was thrilled to get a chance to cook something from it tonight. First things first, Elana is adamant about choosing the proper almond flour. Apparently the ever-prevalent Bob’s Mill doesn’t cut it; I worried [...]

Ah, the noble salmon; truly the beef of the sea. A paragon of health, and a giver of precious Omega-3s. Or so you might think…

Perhaps its the fire-and-forget nature of many of the recipes; start them in the morning in your trusty crock pot, and by the afternoon, the delicious aroma of freshly-cooked meat greets you as you step in from the cold. Perhaps its the transformative nature of the cooking method, where [...]

Before paleo, my weekday breakfast was either oatmeal with berries or whole grain English muffin with butter. Easy to make, and I thought they were pretty healthy options. After listening to Carey Kepler talk about nutrition, I decided to try changing up my breakfast routine and see what happened. Almost immediately, I noticed a difference [...]

TLSP has been doing a lot of talking recently about how we should go about maintaining this site, as well as how best to provide value to our readers.  In so doing, Lyssa suggested that we upload more recipes.  She pointed out that a lot of people aren’t used to cooking fish and meat, etc. [...]

OK, I made these again and the new version is EVEN BETTER than the last. Changes will all be in bold below. I also came up with the holy grail: a Paleo Buttercream frosting!!! Sorry I’ve been MIA, team, I’ve been throwing the crazy party you guys were all SO AWESOME about supporting. I’ve been [...]
