Some great ideas here! Love getting good quality ground meat and poultry at a reasonable price, stocking in freezer, and making a meal out of it.

Paleo burgers are packed with protein, they are low carb, and budget friendly. We’ve assembled a list of our favourite Paleo hamburger recipes using a rang

Great inspiration for real food lunches...

Who says Paleo lunchboxes have to be boring? After reading through the week of Paleo lunch ideas that I presented with LunchBots, are you still stumped about what to pack your kiddos (or yourself) for...

Although I wish temperatures were rising more than they have been, these look like a great recipe to get under your belt in time for summer. Let me know if you try them!

With temperatures warming, I wanted to share my Dark Chocolate Fudge Pops recipe with you! These taste just like a fudgsicle, creamy and decadent, but without all the additives that the store bought ones have in them.

1¼ cups coconut milk
2 egg yolks
½ cup maple syrup or honey
dash of sea salt
1½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped

This looks delish - can't do almonds right now, so will probably sub in cashews and not a fan of raisins so will probably leave them out. I've been seeing more and more paleo granola's sold in Whole Foods lately... Always better homemade.

This truly is a fan favorite - my Paleo Vanilla Granola! Made with 4 different nuts, it is crunchy and full of flavor! Soaking the nuts overnight makes them easier to digest, and drying them at really low heat preserves the valuable nutrients they provide.

1/2 cup raw pecans
1/2 cup raw hazelnuts
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup raw walnuts
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon golden flax seeds
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3/4 cup honey, melted
1-1/2 tablespoons vanilla
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
1/2 cup raisins

Feeling great about some of these revisions - especially the clarification around added sugar!

After 20 years, the FDA has plans for a major overhaul of the Nutrition Facts label. This is a big deal, as the sticker is required on the majority of American packaged foods. In reality, the Nutrition Facts label represents one of the best sources of information on our groceries. The FDA claims its…

Yup. HbA1C is a super important marker - everyone should know their levels.

This week, the British Journal of Cancer published an incredibly important report that found a strong relationship between a simple blood test and the risk for various forms of cancer. The study found that the common blood test used by diabetics to measure their average blood sugar, A1c, was strongl...
