I’ve mentioned Austin-based company Nulo before (Nutrition + Love, awwww!) but now that my lovable if slightly neurotic mutt Denali has tried Nulo (nulo.com), I’ve got more to say. The bounty shipped quickly: Two varieties of dry food, a selection of wet, and some treats. Nali, as I mentioned, is a smidge neurotic. Poor thing…

Effing Gluten and Sugar
We ALL know not to eat that junk, right? I’m pretty good about it–particularly the gluten, less so the sugar. But yesterday was my birthday. And That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) was going to make me an almond flour cake but ran out of time, so after a sunset picnic atop Aspen Mountain (awwwwww!), he…
Austin: Dogwood Grand Opening
Everyone loves the Bachelor Bars (an article I wrote in 2007!): Molotov, The Marq, Chuggin’ Monkey, Dizzy Rooster, and Thirsty Nickel. In the old Mother Egan’s spot next door to Molotov, the brothers bachelor (Brad, Chad, & Wes Womack) and partner Jason Carrier have reinvented the pub with a distinctly Southern flare. They’ve been open…
Austin: TnT Brunch is Dynamite!
OK, that was the obvious pun, right? But brunch at Tacos n Tequila, in the Gables Pressler on 5th Street, is THAT GOOD. This is my plate at TnT.That’s ceviche, salad, fruit salad, mushrooms and yellow squash, polenta, migas, guacamole, and teeny-tiny homemade flour tortillas (heaven). These are the homemade sweet potato chips. Yep, sweet…
Primal-ish Scones
How awesome does this look? A cup of coffee and a scone. Almost Paleo, almost Primal, definitely delish! I adapted the recipe so far away from its original that I will reprint it here. It is based on the recipe in Elana’s Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook … You Need: 1/4 cup grassfed butter, melted…
Austin: Snap Kitchen Update
Snap Kitchen. Everything about it is so right. The store – you walk in to an airy, all-windowed place with bright green floors, bamboo counters and tables, white plastic chairs, and bright orange accoutrements. There are no walls, save some muddled clear walls defining a main office and registered dietician’s office. That’s right–there’s a full…
Ten Foods to Live
I just returned to Aspen from Austin, and there are a few things I have to buy in Austin that I simply can’t find from Aspen to Glenwood Springs. This time, I brought back hazelnut meal, veggie chips from Central Market/Whole Foods bulk, Perfect Foods Chocolate Raspberry bars, Emergen-C MSM powder, and bulk arrowroot powder.…
Aspen: Um, duh? Food & Wine Classic Weekend
It’s this weekend, kids. If you didn’t have the $1,185 to buy the big tickets, or even the $295 to buy a 1-day pass (steal! if that’s your cup of tea anyway), you can still enjoy the Food & Wine melee with the rest. Word on the street is that there are over 100 private…
Aspen: Plastics Make Food & Wine Possible?
Honestly, this is probably the number one thing people said to me as I started talking about being in Aspen for part of the summer — “Oh, are you going to Food & Wine?” Well, no. Hopefully we can spring for a locals’ tasting, or at least hit up a cool afterparty. Unless, of course,…
More on Turmeric’s Benefits
It’s all the rage these days! After my post on spices last week, I posed a question about how in the world to use turmeric. So obviously I was thrilled to see that Mark Sisson at Mark’s Daily Apple devoted a whole post today to the health benefits of turmeric! Lisa assured me that turmeric…
