Hot Cup of Awesome (Paleo)

May 27, 2014
One of my favorite things. I like coffee in the morning, but I don’t always drink it. I call this quick throw-together drink a hot cup of awesome, because well, I find that to be an accurate description. This hot beverage will warm you up on a cold morning, and the fat content will help keep you energized and satiated. For that reason I’ll whip one of these up at time where I’m hungry and have no idea what I want to eat. The hot cup...

3 Phase Paleo Helps You Ease Into Paleo (and It’s On Sale)

May 27, 2014
Whether it’s changing your diet, increasing your weekly exercise, starting a meditation practice, giving up cigarettes, or any other big life change, a big switch all at once can backfire in a big way. When you place such stringent rules on yourself (and your family or spouse), you can start to feel deprived, stressed out (because all big life changes are naturally stressful), and even angry. In order to create lasting change, it may be better to make gradual shifts in your routines, instead. When it comes to eating ...

The Paleo Kitchen Book Tour Sleepless in Seattle!

May 27, 2014
Whatever that means. One book signing down, four more to go!! Our book release for The Paleo Kitchen was a complete hit! We had around 120 people come to Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch to hear us speak, pick up a book and have it signed! It was so freaking cool to have that many people show up. I was pitting out with the worry that no one would show up. But people from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins came to visit us. So fun. And we almost sold out of ...

paleo reboot

May 27, 2014
So, um, hey guys. It's been awhile. What may have happened in the intervening year, you ask? Well, several things. I moved and had a baby, for starters. I also completely abandoned paleo for multiple reasons, including morning sickness, stress, and burnout on food in general. I really wasn't doing well on paleo near the end of it (around the time I wrote the shrimpy new year post back in Jan 2010) and the time off this past year has given me space to sit back and think about why ...

How to Hack Your Immune System

May 27, 2014
Guest post written by: Dr. Tim Jackson Photo Credit: Argonne National Laboratory Most of us looking to optimize our health get bombarded with information on hormones, gut health and detoxification. But we rarely hear very much about the immune system. The reasons for this are many, namely that it is quite complex and interacts with the other systems in numerous ways. The goal of this article is to give you some basic information on how our immune system works and how to improve upon it. I’m going to assume that ...

if you’ve any leek/leak puns, now’s the time to use them This was actually supposed to be a turnip-based mash but then I turned the corner into the turnip aisle of my local supermarket (yes, it has a turnip aisle – right next to the broccoli counter) and was assailed by a noxious cloud of poison gas. Not really (although I hope you appreciate that attention-grabbing intro) if you do cheese, don’t be afraid to sprinkle some parmesan on that The culprit was a ...

Instant Butter Coffee? Coffee Blocks has Launched!

May 25, 2014
If you follow our facebook or twitter account, you’ll know that my brother Tom started a kickstarter campaign for his glorious idea of pre-made paleo, gluten free, kick ass butter coffee  in a convenient to-go pack. Okay, so maybe I’m a little biased because Coffee Blocks is my brother’s company. But, I think they’re amazing. A little over a year ago, he started bringing to my house these funny cube shaped versions of what today, is a simple way to get bullet proof coffee ...

Maple Syrup of the Native Americans

May 25, 2014
A Native American maple sugar camp, 1853. Image courtesy of the Library of Congress. Hi everyone, Andrew here with another food history post. I’m originally from Upstate New York, where maple syrup is kind of a big deal. My family has always had a special fondness for the stuff. The “pancake syrup” made of corn syrup was completely unknown in my house. We only used the real stuff, but sparingly (it’s so sweet!). Maple sugar candy was a favorite treat—but again—only in small amounts. A single 1/3 ounce leaf-shaped candy ...

New website to protect kids from junk food marketing

May 25, 2014
From the website: Children are vulnerable to advertising. They are less able than adults to fully understand that the purpose of advertising is not to inform but to persuade, and to ultimately sell a product. Studies show that children are much more likely to want to eat food that comes in branded packaging than food with no branding – even if it is the same product. A study of 3 to 5 year olds showed that over 75{4dd43735419885e2296c717ac798d5bb3483a708b4c1340b99a8b965668bd4df} of children preferred French fries in McDonalds branded wrapping, compared to the just over...
