I went to the beach last week to try my hand at cast-netting some dinner. (Green Deane made it sound easier than I found it to be.) As I was getting out of my truck, the a saw a guy loading his up, putting his metal detector away. I struck up a conversation immediately. I […]

Chocolate Pudding… Paleo Style
I was visiting with Aunt Nan last week, and she handed me a copy of the best thing to happen to my Paleo lifestyle since rib eyes went on sale! Backing up a bit, to live the Paleo lifestyle/diet you consume no grains, no legumes, and no refined sugars. That means

Review: Cherry Pie Larabar
Read my Larabar review intro here. Not going to lie, I’m not a fan of cherries. As a kid, the only cherries I ever recall eating were little red ones in a jar with lots of red dye. To this day, I still don’t like cherry flavored anything.
