    Another difficult area for me since I began eating a Paleo diet is giving up dairy. I found that I initially craved cheese but that craving quickly subsided with the help of other nutrient dense foods such as almonds and vegetables. The one dairy product that I still struggle with not having is half and… Read more

    HAPPY 2014! I don’t know a more proper way to kick off the New Year than with a healthy lifestyle change. My husband and I, after dabbling in it for some time (well, really I was cooking this way for a while, he just did not realize what I was doing. Clever aren’t I?) have… Read more
