Because ’tis the season for pumpkin, betches. I basically got the idea from this recipe, and more or less used this recipe, and then made it my own, obviously. Protein and pumpkin and chocolate chips, with great texture? Yeah, eat it for all the times. Protein Pumpkin Bread (with optional chocolate chips) 4 scoops Primal…
One of the scene-iest scenes in Orange County is Fig & Olive, so when I found out FIG & OLIVE’s founder/owner Laurent Halasz was releasing a cookbook AND throwing a party to celebrate it, obviously I was in. The party was fabulous and the food obviously divine, but the highlight of the evening was Laurent stopping…
In my farm box I was given two sugar pumpkins. My face was sorta like this: Everyone (on pinterest) says pumpkin puree is “so easy! there’s no reason to buy canned!” But I have never believed this fallacy. Even if it WAS easy, it cannot possibly be easier than getting out a can opener and…
No need for the Starbucks gut-buster we all know and love. You can make your own pumpkin spice latte, healthier, and it is awesome. For my earlier version of a make-at-home PSL, using protein powder, click here. Make the Pumpkin Spice Latte: 2 tablespoons coconut milk (full fat) 1-2 tablespoon pumpkin puree (I use canned,…

Seriously, I love this stuff too much. The sad news is that it’s got too much nuts in it for me to love, so my next goal is to optimize the use of cauliflower. I did it!! A crispy crust with cauliflower? I am awesome. What do you call cauliflower faux flour? CauliFLOUR? That only…
I just finished reading The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet by Robb Wolf. As I expected, it’s quite good as an excellent primer to paleo. When I first started eating paleo, I saw a lot of the “success stories” and understood that eating paleo is generally healthy, but no one could ever explain to…
This morning I weighed the same as yesterday. Looks like this is the number to keep! Once I’m done with the HCG Phase, I have to maintain within 2 pounds of this number or I have to do something to fix it. Shoutout to hellojody.com, a blog by a woman who is now doing the HCG…
Yesterday was the final day of the hcg drops portion of the diet AND I’m down a pound! I can’t wait to eat … coconut milk, butter, cheese!! And I can’t wait to put on lip balm and lotion. LOTS of it!! Last day on drops (but not really on drops) 500 calorie day: Lunch…
