On the topic of restaurants, Jake discovered a delicious treasure right in our hometown of Seattle. Last week, we dined at The Stumbling Goat Bistro for the first time. You know it’s going to be a good night when you take a seat at your table, glance outside the window, and see Dave Matthews walking by. Yes, THE Dave Matthews of The Dave Matthews Band. But, we were so excited to try out the tasty food at the Stumbling Goat that […]

Jake’s a smart man. He knew that asking me to pack up and drive to Portland for the weekend with only a moment’s notice would drive me up the wall. Literally. I’m a planner, and I like knowing my schedule. Going out-of-town these days makes me especially nervous ever since we’ve become such food snobs. So, what’s a smart husband to do? Find an awesome restaurant that is attached to a beautiful hotel, call my parents to dog-sit, call my sister […]

Basically, it refers to the […]

Even if you are not directly a part of the paleo world (seriously, what are you waiting for??), you may have heard others describe paleo as more than just a diet, but as a lifestyle. It’s not so much about eliminating things from your life (contrary to the carbaholics’ opinions out there) as it is making better choices to live a more optimal life. And while I know many of you stop by here to see what’s for dinner, I’m […]

When I posted my Crock Pot Pot Roast recently, I asked for any feedback regarding good seasonings for this slow-roasted delightful dish. An overwhelming response came my way that pretty much everyone loves a good old classic marinade of Onion Soup Mix. My big concern with this dried soup-in-a-box mix was that there were several other chemicals in addition to the natural flavors in there, and I don’t want to eat that crap if I can avoid it. So what’s […]

If you haven’t been to the Whole 9 Life website yet, it’s definitely a spot you’ll want to frequent. Melissa and Dallas do what they can to bring you the latest and greatest Paleo information, and one of my favorite features of the 9-Blog is their “Steal this Meal” recipes submitted by their readers. Not too long ago, my mouth watered over the ingredients for their featured Crockpot Carnitas from Lydia Ash. Her recipe called for the use of Pork Ribs, but […]
