Easy candied orange peel
When December rolls around, you can count on me to first start thinking of what holiday treats I’ll be creating. Shortbread is a given, both sweet and savory. Fruitcake (yes!). Something chocolate, whether that’s a dark flourless cookie or almond roca bars, or – in rare years – chocolate fudge. And candied orange peel. It’s…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 26
I’ve Googled I don’t know how many ingredients to check to see whether they’re considered Paleo or not. Is mustard paleo? Mayonnaise? Pickles? What about quinoa? Ah, quinoa. It’s a superfood, right? Wouldn’t Paleos get behind that? Well, not so much. Turns out it’s fairly controversial in Paleo circles. Quinoa is technically a seed, but…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 25
So, Paleo Diet Challenge Day 25. What I think is that simple is good. Even better: Sometimes, simple is best. I’m not sure if it has something to do with expectation management again, although I suspect it does. But it seems that, very often, the simplest meals give me the most enjoyment. They punch above…

But when regular life demands more of my attention, it’s great when the pressure of what to make for dinner lightens up a little. We’re talking recipe…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 23

Most of the article is about explaining how the human “gut” works and about the evolution of our digestive tract, which has…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 22
It was another Paleo bread attempt today. And while it wasn’t a shout-from-the-rooftops success, it wasn’t nearly the disaster that the first one was. Perhaps I should feel comforted by that. This time I set my sights a little lower, opting for an Irish soda bread that naturally has a denser texture than a bread…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 21
This challenge is a funny thing. For the past 3 weeks I seem to swing between two feelings: One is being energized and quite optimistic about finding a new way of eating, which might turn out to be better for me. (Is it a pathway to get off the daily Synthroid pill? Perhaps.) I really…
