Austin: DO IT – GO RAW at MOOJESUS!

Remember MooJesus!? I love that place. I got the sweetest email from Pastor Gina asking me to tell all of you about the MooJesus! EJ RAW 30 FEAST program. I am so in love with the idea of the program and wish I was around Austin often enough to participate in this 30 day awesomeness.…

Not Exactly Paleo Pumpkin Brownies

But delicious! I freaking love pumpkin, so I’m always playing with recipes. I also love baking, and I LOVE baking in the winter, when it’s cold outside and you can snuggle inside eating pumpkin-chocolate combo things. But this is NOT Paleo, sugar is never paleo, but this makes it HEALTHIER than before, though still not…

Healthy (Paleo?) Pumpkin Spice Lattes

My favorite thing about winter? I think it’s pumpkin. Particularly Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Now before you getting all “Starbucks has a billion calories in it” on me, here is a super-duper easy way to make dairy-free Pumpkin Spice Latte … and if you consider whey protein relatively Paleo (many do not), then you can even…

ACL: Eating Guide

Eating with me is a challenge, I will freely admit. I want free-range happy meat, chicken, milk, and eggs. I don’t want white bread, I probably don’t want whole wheat bread, I definitely don’t want corn (unless it’s a tortilla chip) or beans or soy. I don’t want fake sugar, or agave, or real sugar…

Paleo Cookies Recipe

Last weekend, one of my dearest friends (non-paleo, non-crossfitting) texted me asking for a paleo cookie recipe. What?! I was super excited. She said that she was baking for her mother-in-law, who eats mostly paleo for health reasons … yes! I sent her the following email: Here is my all-time fave paleo chocolate chip cookie…

Eggplant sweet potato lasagna

I had an eggplant sweet potato lasagna at a restaurant and thought to myself, “why didn’t I think of that?” But I promptly forgot about it, until I read a recipe for it in a magazine. I tore out the page, magneted it to my refrigerator, and then didn’t follow it at all. Y’all already…

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…

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…

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.…

Fructose?! Maltodextrin?!

Suppdate: what the hell?! The Cleanse I committed to includes Fiber Drink, Cleanse Supps, Probiotics, and Omegaplex, followed by MNS-3, all by Advocare. I’m ready to take my Fiber Drink yesterday morning to start off The Cleanse. This is what it says on the website: Fiber Drink / #W4062 / Price: $17.50 Available in Citrus…
