{Paleo Purgatory}

December 6, 2012 by Joey

I have only been to confession once, but after reflecting upon the last few weeks, I am considering the need to purge my sins for the second time. In prepping several new recipes to share with you, I have found vast photographic evidence that I have, in fact, committed several culinary acts that the die-hard paleo community may consider sinful. It began with good intentions. I swear! It all started with our purchase of Practical Paleo. A beautiful, informative book […]

{Hi Friends!}

November 5, 2012 by Joey

Just over a year ago, I returned to the 9-5 work week and my weekends opened up for the first time in years. I rediscovered time for family, friends, and what seemed like a normal life once again. It has been great reconnecting, however, I also took a little detour from blogging. It’s quite wonderful to be back, and I hope you all are doing very well. Curious as to what we’ve been up to since our last post? Well, […]

{Healthy Choices on the Road}

May 16, 2011 by Joey

One of the most frequently asked questions I get from readers is, “What do I eat at restaurants?” (or a dinner party, on vacation, etc.) It’s a good question, as we know the only place that guarantees quality control is your own home kitchen. Even I still get nervous to eat out, but definitely not as nervous as I was when we first started eating healthy. Experience has taught me that it pays to be picky every time. Jake and […]

{Happy New Year!!}

January 5, 2011 by Joey

Hi Friends! I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday! After celebrating a wonderful Christmas Eve here with Jake’s family, we got the heck out-of-town for a little winter vacation. We met up with Paleo Mom & Dad, my sister Shelley (the other Paleo Girl), her husband, their 3 boys and their dog for a snow-filled getaway in Lake Chelan. For the first time in I-have-no-idea-how-long, it felt like we had an honest to god vacation. And it felt […]

{So… how was it?!}

November 26, 2010 by Joey

Hi Friends, Rather than giving you some information today, I am hoping to get some from you. Would you mind? I promise it will only take a moment of your time, and it’s kind of a fun sociological study… 1. How was your Thanksgiving? 2. What did you eat? Mainly, I am curious if you stayed paleo or revisited the modern diet (mashed potatoes, stuffing with bread, biscuits, pie, etc.)? 3. If you did stray away from Paleo, how did […]

{The Thanksgiving Address}

November 24, 2010 by Joey

‘Tis the Eve of Thanksgiving, and with the lovely snowfall and chilly air we’ve had around us in Seattle the past couple of days, winter seems to be moving along just about perfectly. Most people even had a few extra days added to their Thanksgiving break, and according to my facebook feed, they snuggled in and watched movies or went and played in the snow. It is my assumption that, tonight, many of you are busy preparing for tomorrow’s family […]

{Whole 30 Update, 2 Weeks In}

November 8, 2010 by Joey

After attending the Whole 9 Life Foundations of Nutrition workshop two weekends ago, Jake and I decided to participate in their Whole 30 program… just because. We have been eating paleo for a year and a half now, so it wasn’t as though this was going to be a major change for us, we were more curious to see if we would notice a difference, so we figured, why not give it a try? So, what’s the difference for us […]

{5.0 Update}

October 26, 2010 by Joey

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 […]

A Cave Diva Photo Shoot

April 10, 2010 by Joey

I was really excited when I heard Shelley and her family were coming up for Easter weekend, and the photographer in me immediately thought – we need new pictures for the blog! So I started brainstorming all sorts of ideas. My favorite thought was that of rap video, where Shelley & I would dress like cavewomen (think lots of leopard print, furs, and bones in our hair…) and write a Paleo rap song and perform it, and post the video […]
