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 14
Two whole weeks — day 14 of the Paleo Diet Challenge. I’m almost halfway through the challenge, and thought it would be a good time to reflect on the good and no-so-good parts so far. First, the good news. I’m not hungry at all between meals. I’ve noticed that, in particular, my breakfasts (either eggs…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 13
I’m not sure of it, but I think my taste buds are sharpening up. I feel like they’ve become a little more sensitive, now that I’ve been eating only real, nutrient-dense foods for (almost) two weeks. Or it could be that I’m just imagining it. What started me down this path was thinking about how…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 12

The answer to my question yesterday seems to be a definite maybe. Like a lot of things, it’s tough to nail it on your first try. I’ve done a fair amount of searching for Paleo bread recipes in the past week and a half. The first thing that struck me is the amount of eggs…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 10
Day 10 and I feel noticeably more energetic when I wake up. I think partly it’s because the dinner last night was so satisfying. It really gave me a boost, and helped take me away from the what-kind-of-bread-can-I-eat thoughts that have been with me, pretty constantly, since I started this challenge. Another thing that played…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 9
I’m trying to keep a phrase from The Paleo Mom in mind today: It’s only effort until it becomes routine. How very true. When I reframe my thinking from egads, this is hard to looking at all the foods that are Paleo friendly, I realize that much of my pre-challenge diet was, in fact, not…
