Have you got a Brook in your little heart Have you got a Brook in your little heart, Where bashful flowers blow, And blushing birds go down to drink, And shadows tremble so — And nobody knows, so still it flows, That any brook is there, And yet your little draught of life Is daily … Read more
I took my youngest son, SP (stands for “Sweet Pea” or “Stink Pot” depending on the day), for a jaunt into New York City yesterday. We left early in the morning which meant we would be having breakfast, lunch and dinner (and dessert) there. We started out at Starbucks where SP had a decidedly non-Paleo … Read more
“They” say authentic Argentinian Chimichurri sauce contains only parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. But since cilantro and I are BFF I figure I’m going to continue to break the rules and use it in my Chimichurri recipe. Chimichurri works really well as a marinade and/or sauce for lots of … Read more

Lupa, one of chef Mario Batali’s endeavors, is one of my favorite restaurants in New York. I have eaten there a … Read more
Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic is a classic French dish. This Paleo version of the recipe stands out in my mind as one of the all time biggest hits with my husband. The first time he tried it he could not stop remarking, in between bites, on how good it was. Even if garlic … Read more
Coconut has gotten a bad rap over the last several years which influenced me to steer clear because I was deathly afraid of the saturated fat. After discovering the paleo diet, and doing a lot of reading about saturated fats like coconut, I came to understand that it is actually quite healthful. This recipe started … Read more
Larabars are one thing that can bring Paleo dieters and raw vegans together. Impossible you say! Well, strangely enough this is one delicious product that has the power to do the inconceivable. Raw vegans appreciate the fact there are no animal products and the ingredients are uncooked. Paleo adherents clamor for Larabars because they are … Read more
