Where do mushrooms fit in?

Where do mushrooms fit in?

Often misunderstood, largely ignored, mushrooms are like Ann from Arrested Development–reluctantly included, and rarely the object of attention. We can talk all we want about healthy diets, superfoods, natural vs. organic, and the like, but there’s no debating the...
Kimchi

Kimchi

Kimchi. I think it’s one of those things you either love or hate. If you’re easily offended by strong smells, especially of the fish and garlic variety, you will probably not like kimchi. HOWEVER, if you’re Korean at heart and don’t mind the pungent stench of...
Road Trip Update

Road Trip Update

I’m back. As mentioned in my last post, Artem and I went on a 3-week road trip around the Pacific Northwest for most of July. I had the food dehydrator going for days before I left. Beef jerky, several bags of dehydrated veggies, spice mixes, nuts, and dried ground...
Choosing Paleo Camping Food

Choosing Paleo Camping Food

I am busy this week! Artem and I are headed out on a road trip on July 4, and I’m scrambling to prep Paleo camping food before we leave. I will likely end up making some compromises with my diet while I’m out, but I’m okay with that for a few weeks. It’s vacation....

Paleo Lemon Mayonnaise

Paleo Lemon Mayonnaise

Wow, this Paleo lemon mayonnaise recipe has been a long time in the making. I have wasted SO much avocado oil on failed batches of mayo. Which is funny, because I previously complained about paying $8+ for a jar of Paleo mayo. The alternative was to settle for the...
Paleo with Nut Allergies

Paleo with Nut Allergies

“Well, if we ever need a cashew detector, we’ll call you.” …Artem said grimly. I had just taken my first few bites of vegan coconut-carmel gelato from the local ice cream shop. I have nut allergies, but I’d eaten other vegan gelato from the same shop. I figured the...
