Eating real food, functional movement, making healthy lifestyle choices | Paleo / Primal
Summer! The time of harvest for so many beautiful fruits. And traditionally, the time for preserving fruit and vegetables for use over the colder months. Every time I go to the Farmer’s Market lately I am inspired by the abundant array of luscious fruit and veggies. Really……it’s hard to resist a tray of huge, golden mangoes!!! When […]
It’s been a bit quiet here on the blog on the past couple of weeks. But in the background there has been a lot of things happening. We’ve just spent two weeks together on holidays in Newcastle. It was a busy time with plenty of activities with four little girls – shopping, playgrounds, the beach, […]
Over the past few days I have read hundreds of Facebook posts where people have declared that their new years resolution is to `lose weight’. Though it may have been expressed a little differently, that’s what 99% of them came down to. In many cases the status post was followed by lots of comments about […]
We’re in the last few hours of 2012. A new year is about to begin! Traditionally (at least in our Western cultures) this has become a time to reflect on the year that has been, and for making those New Years’ resolutions. Set some goals for the year to come. As I (Judith) sit here […]
Well this time tomorrow evening it will be `the night before Christmas’. Most of the food preparation will have been done, gifts all wrapped, and the kitchen floor mopped. Time to relax with a drink in front of the TV and watch Carols by Candlelight from the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne. A long […]
It’s only 3 days till Christmas. Today started with a trip to the local farmer’s market to stock up on the fresh produce. Then it was a full afternoon of making lots of healthy, paleo goodies ready for Christmas. Even had time to try some new recipes and put a whole lot of mangoes into […]
`I believe our holiday times should be wonderful and filled with lasting and enjoyable moments and memories. So how can we ensure that we come out of the holidays in January with great memories of the past month?’ My thoughts….but not my words. Recently, I was reading and reflecting on the Christmas holiday time and […]
We all know bacon is delicious and it makes other things delicious. That’s just a fact of the paleo lifestyle right??!! This is another one of those fantastic, bacon wrapped, delicious foods. Last year we planted a couple of jalapeno chilli plants, not really expecting, or getting, a big harvest. But this year they have […]
A caprese salad is a very traditional Italian style that is very versatile, simple, and quick to prepare. It’s perfectly primal (paleo + some dairy) and doesn’t need any modification in order to look `normal’. We love that at this time of year this salad has a festive look with the bright red, white and […]
Here’s another post in our series of Preparing for a healthy, paleo Christmas. It’s just nine days till Christmas – and there’s a lot going on in our household. These past few days have been quite busy for me with our Miss Mac having surgery (tonsil and adenoids). Along with all the usual end of […]
