I’ve been making this stupid simple soup for over ten years (before ‘paleo’ entered anyone’s lexicon), but it had fallen out of my regular routine until I was cold last week and wanted something warm to bring for an engagement party potluck. This is the analog recipe: fatfree.com/recipes/fruit-soups/sweet-potato-pear-soup (how embarrassing) SWEET POTATO PEAR SOUP 1/2 onion, diced…
A followup to Half a Burrito! and Eat ALL the Pasta … in which I ate ALL the breads but it was okay because they’re BFreeFoods sliced breads and rolls and bagels—BAGELS!—and they’re low cal and gluten free and even relatively low carb. Buy at Ralphs or online (where it appears they’re currently sold out of most…
LOOK AT THIS HALF OF A BURRITO! I know you’re thinking why do I want to see a half-eaten burrito? BECAUSE I ate half the burrito and it didn’t fall apart! Because it’s like a real burrito! But without gluten! It’s not grainy like Ezekial and it’s not corn like corn tortillas and it doesn’t break…
Just. Look. At. These. Cookies. Can you tell they’re paleo(ish)? Maybe. Can you tell they have whey protein powder in them? NOPE! Honestly, I don’t know how I stumbled upon making these crumbly, crunchy, chewy, paleo-ish chocolate chip cookies. I just got re-inspired after I tried a terrible commercially-produced protein-powder cookie and thought I have…
Italian and gluten-free don’t often go hand-in-hand … pastas, breads, and pizzas are serious gluten bombs. But leave it to parkside’s, backspace’s, and Olive & June’s Chef Shawn Cirkiel to create a five-course Southern Italian-style gluten-free dinner in honor of Celiac Awareness month. Olive & June will host two of the gluten-free dinners on May…
The Copper Mountain Ski Patrol is bringing a Snow Day to Austin! Much needed after wildfires, no? Maybe some real snow? A Mobile Snow Day Van will be cruising around Austin all weekend, so look for it: Saturday, Sept. 10 at 1 p.m.: UT Longhorns Tailgate at the Bob Bullock Parking Lot The snow machine…
Science is an imperfect science, no? You read a million different studies proving a million different things, and how do you decide what resonates with you and your body? Experimentation, mostly. Below, some science read and resonated recently: TONS of abstracts and summaries on why gluten is bad for people: The Case Against Gluten: Medical Journal…
You guys might not know this, but I used to be a noodle fanatic. Growing up, I would eat whole wheat noodles for breakfast and dinner with parmesan cheese, nothing else. Needless to say, in my paleo or at the least gluten-free life, I’ve tried a lot of noodle substitutes. I love spaghetti squash noodles. I…
I tweeted a lot about these babies, and external sources have confirmed: TAMALES ARE AWESOME!! Particularly these tamales. That I made. These are my 3 flavors. I was inspired to make tamales thanks to a new ridiculously awesome Austin blog called HilahCooking.com. Check it out. These are the video instructions I followed (I used vegetable…
Coming soon: my tamale experience! Just have to get the photos uploaded … Until then, enjoy these links: The No-Goal Goal (I may like this just because I’ve never been a goal-setter) Sex and Sports: Before or After? Yum Yum Pecan Brittle (you know I’d use palm sugar …) For workouts? I’ve been skiing my…
