Wait for it.... I used to be a vegetarian. Breath. Hard to believe right? Now that I am the one nibbling on beef liver, adding bacon to everything, and loving myself some rare grass fed steak, it's hard to imagine there was a time when I wouldn't touch meat. I thought I was being as [...]

As an active part of the CrossFit community and a life-long athlete of pretty much every team sport available to me as a kid, I have seen my fair share of sugary sports drinks, advertised, purchased, and handed out for their electrolytes and performance enhancement. The reality, though? It's all hogwash. Look no further than THIS [...]
Close your eyes and imagine the taste, texture, and crunch of biting into a crispy, flavorful cracker smothered in the spread of your choice (for me it's fresh sheep's milk cheese). Damn, I missed that... That is until now. If you've switched over to a mostly grain-free, whole food lifestyle, you might be able to [...]
So it might be official: the BEST waffles I have ever eaten, paleo or otherwise. And even better? My husband agrees. And he is a breakfast connoisseur. The guy knows his breakfast, and he is not messing around when he says that these make the list of theĀ top 3 ever waffles he's EVER had. Woah. [...]
Ever heard of a tigernut? No, it's not made from tiger genitalia (I thought I would get that out of the way from the start). And no, it's actually not even a nut!Ā TigerNuts are actually tubers, another radical root that has stolen my heart and my tastebuds.Ā Even cooler? Tigernuts actually comprised up to 80% of [...]
Almost every person who has switched over to a paleo diet has attempted homemade sweet potato "fries" with the anticipation of recreating the crispy, oily, salty goodness that so many restaurants have recently started offeringĀ on their menus. After valuable time spent in the kitchen, these folks will open the oven, grab a fry, and take [...]
Brownies, oh brownies, how I love brownies. You know what else I love (something that I haven't written much about recently, but practice every single day)? CrossFit and movement in general, really. Nutrition is the basis of health, yes, but movement, well that's what makes us human. It's something we all share a need for, [...]
It's about time I posted another dessert recipe... at least that's what my husband argued when it came time for some fresh recipe testing. Sometimes a splurge is necessary, and in cases like this, I would much rather enjoy a treat that's not filled with processed sugars, flours, and crap oils. That's why I keep [...]
It should come as no surprise by now that I am a huge advocate of homemade bone broth. Look no further than THIS post to see why. The cool thing about this healing bone juice is that you don't needĀ much to reap some benefits (although the more, the healthier, of course). The Ā not so cool [...]
