fighting what’s going around!

Tonight my husband walks into the kitchen and he says, “They’re advising people to stock up on food so they don’t have to go to the grocery store.” I said, “We do a lot to fight off things that are going around.” But it got me thinking: all the vitamin C, vitamin D, probiotics, bone broth, the highest nutrient dense diet, whatever vitamins and food you do to keep your immune system strong, it’s really not enough to prevent getting sick, in my...

How to Prepare for a Coronavirus Shutdown

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> When my kids’ school district announced last Thursday evening that, after one more day of school to prepare students for at-home learning, all schools would be closed for at least two weeks in order to prevent the spread of covid-19, the dominant emotion I felt was relief. I’ve been diving deep into the science on the novel coronavirus, reading updated epidemiology reports daily, and diving into the scientific ...

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pancakes

This week was both stressful and busy, so about half way through the week, I started telling myself that I’d make some pancakes as a treat on Saturday morning. Pancakes aren’t an everyday food here in our house, I might only make them a few times a year actually. But this week, I was really craving them and knew I had to have them. By Friday, I had pancake fever: I needed pancakes. And I had also been working intensely on the launch of our new organic, grain-...

Weekly Meal Plan – Week 3 of Whole 30/21 DSD

As I write this, we’ve made it through two full weeks of the Whole 30/21 DSD. I finally turned a corner this week and felt pretty great most days. My moods are more even (read: there were less episodes of me telling Mike I hated his ass face), I’m sleeping great, and don’t get that late afternoon face-meets-wall thing around 2 pm like I used to. I have tons of energy and have been feeling great through my WODs, even the heavy breathers which I usually suck ...

Cavemomma’s rendition of Civilized Caveman’s B.O.A.R.S. chicken

As most of you are aware, we have seven children. There are very rare moments when all seven agree on one thing, especially when it comes to food. So we have embarked on a journey to find at least 10 meals everyone loves to put into the dinner rotation every week. Yeah, I know. But this one actually passed the test. PHEW! It is a quicker, easier, mom-friendly version of Civilized Caveman’s B.O.A.R.S. Chicken. I first tried this recipe about a year ago, and instantly ...

Dude, I think your guts are leaking…

Years ago, when I first heard the term “leaky gut”, I definitely imagined a belly full of holes. The term “leaky gut” definitely brings this image to mind, as silly as it is! I mean come on, your gut can’t really just start leaking like that, right? But if you have leaky gut, it’s no laughing matter. Gut health isn’t just about poop, gas, bloating, and acid reflux. It’s much more than that.

Goodbye, Staffan Lindeberg

A photo Staffan sent me, showing him weighing a Kitavan man as part of the Kitava Study.I recently heard the sad news that Staffan Lindeberg, MD, PhD, lead researcher of the Kitava Study, has died. Staffan was a dedicated researcher and physician at Lund University in Sweden whose work was inspired by the evolutionary health principle. After reading Boyd Eaton and Melvin Konner's seminal 1985 paper on Paleolithic nutrition, in Staffan's words, "it gradually dawned on me that John Harvey Kellogg, a vegetarian zealot, had more influence on dietary advice ...

Greek-Style Roast Chicken

it’s not waving at you, that’s just the way the legs bend One of the things I like about our local chicken farm is that it sells you whole chickens, with all their disgusting parts shoved up inside the hollowed out chest cavity. It’s a bit gruesome but I love pulling out the neck, liver and kidney (I think – it’s purple and squishy) because those are the winners, as far as nutrition goes. Organ meats are full of iron, minerals, vitamins and other good stuff ...
