The Strictly Paleo Plan

On 01.02.12 By Lea
When I first discovered the Paleo lifestyle in February of 2011 I dove in headfirst and completed a strict Paleo eating plan for the first 30 days. My motivation was to figure out if what I was eating might be contributing to my fibromyalgia, fatigue, chronic respiratory infections and depression. I was already fairly lean [...]

Twice-Baked Cauliflower

On 12.30.11 By Lea
The inspiration for this Twice-Baked Cauliflower recipe came from my oldest son, Ben, who turns 11 years old today. Happy Birthday, Benjamin! In addition to being an all-around great boy, Ben has bowled me over with his new-found fondness for cauliflower. This is a kid whose pre-paleo vegetable repertoire primarily consisted of canned green beans and the [...]

Paleo at Penzey’s

On 12.28.11 By Lea
It was a cold autumn evening and I was on my way to a Christmas concert in a nearby town when I spied a brand-spanking-new Penzey’s store. Had it not been for a slew of paleo food blogs I have seen referencing Penzey’s, the significance might have been utterly lost on me. But I knew [...]

Garlic and Herb-Crusted Pork Loin

On 12.22.11 By Lea
This Garlic and Herb-Crusted Pork Loin, inspired by Emeril Lagasse, goes great with my Pomegranate Raspberry Chipotle Sauce and Glaze. Christmas Eve is a perfect time to serve this dish because the red and green colors are so gorgeous and festive. I have also used the sauce to go with beef tenderloin on Christmas Day and it [...]

Pomegranate Raspberry Chipotle Sauce and Glaze

On 12.20.11 By Lea
Chipotle peppers have become my secret weapon in cooking. This pomegranate raspberry chipotle sauce and glaze is not only delicious it is absolutely gorgeous, nutrient dense and easy. The chipotle peppers give it a “kick” that melds perfectly with the fruity flavors. I found a similar recipe years ago from Emeril Lagasse that used only raspberries [...]

Applegate Farms Uncured Hot Dogs for a Paleo Diet

On 12.19.11 By Lea
Trying to follow the Paleo diet as closely as possible is definitely worthwhile. But going strict Paleo is not easy in the beginning and it can be confusing and frustrating. If you are responsible for feeding a family and they are not as motivated for change it is truly challenging. Rather than getting discouraged and giving [...]

Does the Paleo Diet Make Sense Only in Light of Evolution?

On 12.16.11 By Lea
The Paleo diet (as in “way of eating”) is based on the premise that we humans are genetically adapted to the diet of our ancestors. There is a heavy reliance on the explanation that Darwinian Evolution is at the root of this. It is frequently presented that we have EVOLVED to eat this way. Is the [...]

Gluten-Free Communion Bread

On 12.11.11 By Lea
I have been eating a paleo diet since early February 2011 but was only recently diagnosed with celiac disease.  So even though the paleo diet is gluten-free by nature, because it eliminates grains, I was not concerned about the seemingly miniscule amount of gluten I was ingesting every week at church worship services via communion [...]

Chicken Liver Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette

On 11.30.11 By Lea
For years I ate boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cutting off any extra fat with the precision of a skilled surgeon. Fat was the enemy, you see, and the idea of eating organ meats was just anathema. But those days are long gone now that I have been enlightened to the health benefits of eating more [...]

Gluten-Free Skillet Cornbread And Cornbread Dressing

On 11.23.11 By Lea
I have been eating Paleo for many months now and that means I do not eat grains. Having been recently diagnosed with celiac disease it has become clear the removal of gluten from my diet has been instrumental in the general improvement in my health. I strongly believe the benefits of Paleo go way beyond [...]
