Eight years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS. Wow. I can’t believe it’s been eight years. My doctor, a progressive healthcare provider that believed in the power of diet to bring the body back to homeostasis, placed me on a diet that was quite low in carbohydrates. It worked. My PCOS symptoms disappeared and my…

A Turkey & Avocado Sandwich
Do Y’all miss Sandwiches as much as I do? A friend of mine, and the mastermind behind one of my all-time favorite Paleo recipes is here to tell us about we can have our sandwiches (Paleo) and eat them too. Please show Melissa some love at her blog, Satisfying Eats. And while you’re at it, check…
Fast, Cheap, & Easy Food – the RIGHT Way
This has been circulating all over the place and I loved it at first. I’m a little over it now, but mainly because our Paleo reality is fast, cheap, and easy. Not so much fake, but definitely all of the other three. We be real, yo! But we definitely be cheap too. I loved this…
Paleo Meal Planning – Snacks Abound
Paleo Meal Planning – Lotsa Snacks I’m feeling quite ambitious today. Perhaps it’s the 2 days of P90X I’ve successfully completed in addition to my every other day Zumba class. Or perhaps I’m just getting back into the groove from being sick or dealing with sick children for nearly two months. Whatever it is, this…
Paleo Meal Planning – Cheap As I Wanna Be
This week is insane tough for us. I’m waiting on a few payments and the unexpected expenses of life keep cropping up.

The Power of a Diet Change
Once upon a time, there was a princess who struggled with chronic migraines. Every day as she rose out of bed, she hoped that the day would not bestow upon her another migraine. 3-4 every week was debilitating and it was difficult to be an effective mother as the aura spun wildly in her vision,…
Paleo Meal Planning – Paleo Around the World
I’m doing something a little different this week. I’m not putting together your meal plan in its entirety and providing you with a shopping list (sorry). I started my meal plan and realized that there are SO many delicious ethnic meals from all around the world that we can make in Paleo ways. So…
Going Paleo? Don’t Throw Your Pantry Food Away!
One of the biggest hurdles I had to jump with The Workaholic when we went Paleo, was what to do with all of our “non-neolithic” food. I had JUST purchased flour, sugar, this delicious looking soup mix from World Market, and gosh, every darned thing you can think of at the grocery store that is…
Paleo Meal Planning – Family Favorites
Welcome to this week’s Paleo Meal Planning! When I was growing up, we had special nights for dinner. Tuesday was Tacos, Thursday was Spaghetti, Saturday was usually pizza, etc… You see how healthy all that is? Anyways, I don’t know if my mom realized she did it, or if it was just a comfortable habit,…
