I tasted my first kombucha back in 2009, as my roommate at the time was into it. Though the drink itself has been around for ages, it was the early days of commercial booch to my knowledge – and I’ll just say that I remember thinking “so this tastes like feet…”. It was very unpleasant…
Review: Paleo Takeout | Sweet and Sour Chicken
When Russ Crandall (The Domestic Man, author of the The Ancestral Table) announced he was making a book full of paleo versions of popular takeout foods, my first thought was “I want that book”, followed by “that’s quite an undertaking!”. Sean & I watched Russ’s cooking demo at Paleo f(x) this year and his demo…
Paleo f(x) 2015 | Breakfast Hash
Paleo f(x) is our favorite event of the year. It’s a time when the community gets together to support the implementation of paleo as a lifestyle and not just as a diet. Sean has been to all 4 years of Paleo f(x), and me 3 of them. Each year it has grown, and it’s been…
Review: My Paleo Patisserie | Pistachio Ice Cream with Waffle Cones
When transitioning to a grain-free lifestyle, finding replacements for certain foods can be tough. Gluten makes pizza crust chewy, breads fluffy and grain-free flours aren’t the easiest to just swap out. Learning to make grain-free treats takes time and patience as your raw ingredients react differently than traditional grain flours. I’ve always said baking is…
Review: Every Last Crumb | Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes
Last Fall, life was a bit crazy. Sean had already been in Vancouver since July and had been extended on his job into 2015. Long story short, with that news we decided to move out of LA, and figure out our next plans – which for now means I moved to Alabama to be with…

Back in 2011, I was pretty new into paleo, and new into dating Sean. I remember Sean talking about this Make it Paleo book that was going to be huge for the paleo world. Back then, I was also pretty new into eating meat again from my veggie days, so I welcomed any new recipes…

Fish Oil for Epilepsy and Neurological Function
Back in November I wrote quite a lengthy post about my success at convincing my neurology team to allow me to come off some if not all of my medications. As of now, it’s been 11 months since I started tapering off one of the two medications I’ve taken for epilepsy. It’s been a long…
Review ~ Paleo By Season | Chocolate Pumpkin Pie
We first met Pete & Sarah Servold at a Balanced Bites seminar in our old gym back in early 2013. Diane had brought them up to cater the event, and Sean and I immediately hit it off with the Pete’s Paleo team. One bite of the bacon, and you’re in love. Pete’s background as a…
Top 10 Recipes for Labor Day Weekend
The summer is almost over, can you believe it? I can’t. Seems like not that long ago I packed up and moved (temporarily) to Vancouver for a short term job and that was already TWO MONTHS AGO! Summer has really flown by this year. That means that school is almost (or in some cases already…
