See how to thread the toothpick through both the top and the side

Last weekend I was attending a family party and was asked to bring an appetizer, one of my least favorite things to make since I feel like most appetizers aren't traditionally Paleo.  I eat Paleo and only make foods that are Paleo, so when I'm asked to make something I like to select something that is displays some of the good, tasty, and flavorful foods that I eat all the time so that others can see that Paleo can be yummy too!  My usual default is simple, cut up veggies and homemade … [Read more...]

Ok so it's been about a week since I started on the protocol that I outlined in my post: Can Food Cure Acne? recommended by Chris Kresser.  The basis of the protocol is a strict Paleo diet, and since I was already in the midst of a sugar detox, how much harder could it be to eliminate a few more things?  Well the short answer is A LOT harder! The two things that I'm having the most trouble with is cutting nightshades and consistently eating foods that are approved on the low fodmaps. … [Read more...]

Shredded Mexican Chicken

I was looking for a quick and easy meal that could feed a lot of people - my current go to dish if I'm having a party or going to one is to make a crock pot of Paleo friendly pulled pork.  If you're going to a non-paleo place you can bring along some small rolls and you can eat your pork and know that it's 100% Paleo and everyone is content.  I've been on a Mexican kick lately, had just bought a family pack of chicken and decided that I would tackle creating a slow cooked shredded chicken … [Read more...]

Ironman Pocono Mountains 69.1

October 5, 2011 By 3 Comments

This weekend I completed the Bike and Run of the Ironman Pocono Mountain 69.1 (since the swim is 1.2, I've removed that from the planned 70.3 distance).  Overall it was an amazing experience, and even though the swim cancellation was a HUGE disappointment to me, I'm glad I did it.  I thought I was prepared, but actually doing the 56m bike and then the 13.1m run I was able to prove to myself that I really could do it. I was Paleo except for my the Powerbar Gels and a little corn in all … [Read more...]

Grilled Chicken Fajitas

August 16, 2011 By 1 Comment

I love Mexican food, trouble is when you eat Mexican out a lot of times its loaded with corn, beans, rice, and cheese.  You can make delicious Paleo friendly Mexican food as well, and you won't even miss the rice and beans or the cheese and sour cream that would come along with this dish in a traditional Mexican restaurant.  I made this on a Friday night and it was delicious, it was great as leftovers the next day as well.  Grilled Chicken FajitasIngredients (makes 4 - 6 … [Read more...]
