Swiss Almond Dairy Free Ice Cream

June 14, 2014
After a 10-year struggle with endometriosis, I finally gave up eating dairy in 2005. My naturopathic doctor explained to me that even organic dairy (without added hormones) came from the milk of an animal, and the natural hormones in the milk were encouraging my misplaced endometrial cells. I had already been diagnosed with celiac disease, and I really didn’t want to stop eating dairy too. But I was desperate, so I went ahead with it. And it worked!!! I’ve been endo-free for 9 years now, and got pregnant with...

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

June 14, 2014
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 ...

What Being a Cat Owner Means to Me – SHEBA® Cat Food Review Series Part 3

June 14, 2014
For the last installment of the SHEBA® Entrées for Cats  review series, I decided to talk about how being a cat owner is a lot like being a parent. Since I AM a parent, I feel qualified to make that statement. Back when Mr. Hungry and I weren’t parents yet, people with children would sometimes get offended when we’d compare having pets The post What Being a Cat Owner Means to Me – SHEBA® Cat Food Review Series Part 3 appeared first on I Breathe...

Happy weekend, friends! I have some links I wanted to share but yesterday I really wanted to show you my DIY menu board, so here I am on a Saturday. Last night, Rob and I went to happy hour at Chino Latino with some friends, followed by coconut milkshakes at The Wedge. We've been really busy lately and it was so nice to just slow down and enjoy an evening (and be home early)! I have zero plans for this weekend other than sleeping in, going for a walk or...

Getting you ready: Here’s what you’ll need to be an optimally fed family

June 14, 2014
“How on earth do you guys keep up with everything you’ve got going on?”  ” SEVEN kids? That’s INSANE. How DO you do it all?”  We get this a lot. Especially when people see things on facebook about what we’ve got going on this week. I have even had people tell me to stop pretending my life is so damn perfect and be real. Okay, here’s the real: We are a hot mess. Having a family of nine IS  insane. There truly is ...

Working out with The Slosh Tube

June 14, 2014
The Slosh Tube is a bit of PVC pipe about 3 meters long, 4 inches thick, and filled with 20 litres of water.  You can build one for approximately $20. It’s surprisingly difficult to control the Slosh Tube, because the water in the tube is always moving around – just when you think you have it stabilised, the water moves again, throwing you all over the place. I could really feel my entire mid-section getting a good thrashing – the balance required to hold this thing is incredible.  I would recommend ...

Are Crickets The Next Big Paleo Craze?

June 14, 2014
I ate a bug. More specifically, I ate a cricket. Well, probably a dozen crickets. And I didn’t gag, puke, or immediately regret my decision. You might be wondering how this is possible. Well, when crickets are mashed up with dates, chocolate, cayenne pepper, and other tasty ingredients, you don’t even realize that you’re eating an insect. That’s the beauty of the Chapul Bar. You can eat crickets all day and actually enjoy it. Weird, right? Are crickets the next big #Paleo craze?Click To Tweet - ...

Fat vs. Carbohydrate Overeating: Which Causes More Fat Gain?

June 14, 2014
Two human studies, published in 1995 and 2000, tested the effect of carbohydrate vs. fat overfeeding on body fat gain in humans.  What did they find, and why is it important?We know that daily calorie intake has increased the US, in parallel with the dramatic increase in body fatness.  These excess calories appear to have come from fat, carbohydrate, and protein all at the same time (although carbohydrate increased the most).  Since the increase in calories, carbohydrate, fat, and protein all happened at the same time, how do we know that ...

Saying Goodbye

I miss that face so much it hurts Five years ago, I met the two great loves of my life – Hubs and Dog. They came as a pair and I’ve never known a dog to be so bonded to its owner. Hubs couldn’t walk from one room to the other without Dog trotting at his heels. They shared a bed, a sofa, a whole lifetime before I came on the scene. Walking as I did into this batchelor idyll, you’d expect Dog to show some animosity ...

Histamine Intolerance and The Paleo Diet

June 14, 2014
Do you suffer from headaches or migraines? Or is it low blood pressure? Maybe a runny nose? All of these symptoms could be resultant of a histamine intolerance. This vastly overlooked condition can derail many, who would otherwise greatly benefit from a Paleo Diet. But what exactly is histamine and what does it mean to be intolerant to it? Histamine is a biogenic amine that occurs (in differing amounts) in many foods.1 In a person without an intolerance, exogenous histamine obtained via food can be rapidly detoxified by amine oxidases...

I had a whole day’s worth of recipes planned for the 20+ attendees and staff members, most of them based on traditional Indonesian or Malaysian dishes. I was very excited, and had even devoted the previous weekend to practicing and tweaking the recipes to get everything perfect. And then life struck. My son Oliver started feeling very sick last weekend, likely a gift from one of...
