Sukuma Wiki (Sautéed Seasoned Greens) – Meat free version

Nearly seven years ago, I developed my recipe for Sukuma Wiki, a Kenyan braised collard greens and ground beef recipe, and it’s been a favorite ever since. I put it in my first book, The Ancestral Table, and it’s often the dish I point to in the book when someone asks where they should start cooking. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare, and uses very affordable ingredients — and tastes great, too. When writing The Heritage Cookbook, I knew that I wanted to include this dish to represent...

Food Self-Sufficiency

As I type this, I’m gazing out my window for the second day in a row at over 6 inches of snow that’s fallen. It’s beautiful and fun, obviously. But since I live on a steep hill, it also comes with some challenges. Yesterday, when the storm started, I made a quip on my personal Facebook page that it was time once again for the game of watching cars attempt to get up or down the street. Because every year, people just have to tempt fate. Sometimes, a ...

Solutions to Thriving During COVID-19 Chaos

Woah, a LOT has changed for most of us within a very short time span! Change is hard, and with all the panic-providing fear-mongering out there, it’s hard to feel confident and empowered as we look to be solution-oriented. This week I joined forces with Shanna Nemrow, NTP (a homeschooling mama with tons of tips for healthy family tips for those of us in this new position) and Lindsay Young, CTNC (a certified nutrition coach) to deliver what we hope will be a tool you can ...

Kale, Beet, and Apple Salad

Composting: a Paleo Responsibility

You know you eat paleo when your trash can is full of all kinds of fruit and veggie trimmings, egg shells and coffee grounds. These are PERFECT for a compost bin. I’ve always wanted to compost, but have been in apartments and very busy jobs for the past few years. Don’t get me wrong – you can totally do this in your apartment or on your balcony, I just didn’t have the time before. It makes complete sense that paleo people should be composters too! Even if ...

Stocking Your Paleo Pantry

Wondering how to fill your kitchen and pantry with healthy real food so you can cook nourishing meals even during emergencies? Here are my top tips on how to stock a paleo pantry! I’ve heard from many Nomsters—especially those who are brand-new to Paleo—who’ve read my Paleo 101 overview and want to dive right in, but they don’t know how to prep for the journey. And while I’ve posted about my own home pantry before, I know mine’s got a bit more stuff than most folks need. (I tell myself ...

The Perfect Minimalist Sandal

I’ve been on the hunt for the “perfect” minimalist sandal for years. For me that means a couple of things: Durable and comfortable for walking very long distances and biking Reasonably attractive and appropriate for a wide variety of situations Flexible and zero-drop Not going to fall apart if I randomly get rained no It’s kind of shocking how difficult this is to find. The closest I’ve had are the Croc “Sexi flip” and Tread Lite Maori Sandals. But I wanted something that looked a little more formal. So ...

The Definitive Guide to Body Composition

With so many people choosing to track health data nowadays, I get a lot of questions about the best way to measure body composition. Today I’m going to cover some of the most common methods, their pros and cons, and also tackle the question of whether there is an “ideal” body composition. When it comes to fitness, body composition refers to the relative quantities of fat, muscle, bone, and water in your body. These are measured by weight or as a percentage of your total body weight. Clinically, body composition ...

I’m Allergic to the Cold (Cold Urticaria)

The headline of this post is exactly right. I’m allergic to the cold. The medical term is Cold Urticaria.Thanks to the brilliant minds of Diane Sanfilippo and Karen Pendegrass as well as my own thoughts, I believe Cold Urticaria is an autoimmune condition. This wikipedia article describes what I have been going through perfectly. How the hell did this happen? Why did I go from feeling like I was on top of the world on all fronts, when I first began eating Paleo on April 5, 2010, to having an ...

Monday Motivation – How to Get Through The Quarantine 15

Ew. I HATE that people are talking about the “Quaratine 15” on social media like it’s Covid-19. “Getting my workout in so I don’t catch the Quarantine 15.” “Putting in the work so I don’t put on the Quarantine 15.” “Sweating it off to make sure I don’t gain the Quarantine 15.” If you are one of those people out there that have added the Quarantine 15 to your vocabulary…quit it. Stop it right now. You don’t need that bullshit in ...

Braised Beef Cheeks – Paleo Style

This is my second attempt at cooking beef cheeks and even though the recipe still needs a bit of tweaking I think it’s close enough to deserve a post, especially considering that beef cheeks are not readily available.  And if everyone discovers how delicious they are I might not get another chance to try them!

Paleo and Sustainability – Guest Post By Jamie Brazie

I first came across Jamie Brazie on Instagram. At the time, I was editing Paleo Fitness Magazine (all 6 issues are now available as an ebook btw) and we were promoting the #paleofitnessarmy hashtag. I was checking the hashtag for people to feature in our social media shout out page, and one of Jamie's photos came up. I noticed that she was a fellow Floridian and I thought it would be cool to feature a local paleo girl. When the issue ran, I let Jamie know about the shout out, and ...

Building a Paleo Intentional Community

This post originally introduced the Intentional Paleo Community Facebook Group August 22, 2012. The gist was to initiate work toward a theoretical framework, build a real-world community, and develop a template replicable by others wishing to do something similar. During my recent [failed] fatbiking trek from the U.S. to the Yukon/NWT border area of B.C. (don’t ask… yet), I had a lot of time to think. I also had a lot of opportunity to engage the environment and interact with land and animals in a way not ...
