Look closely at the photo below. Notice anything? That’s an extra egg yolk there, lightly poached. Does anybody else do this? I got sick of fighting through the whites to get to the delicious, ridiculously nutritious, wonderful yolk. So I though I’d just pull one away from the white, poach it for a minute, and [...]
I married my amazing husband in 2010, and have loved him more with every passing moment since! This post was written in 2011. So I’ve been married a year and 2 days now. 367.25 days ago (ish…was this a leap year?) the most wonderful man in the history of this planet waited willingly (so far [...]
Bear with me, because this intro will be somewhat roundabout. Upon reading this, you may be inclined to regret the moments – minutes, even – that you’ve spent poring over my host of semi-lucid posts. Beware: Any respect you may have had for me might be lost today. I’ve decided to go Vegan. Baahahaha. Just kidding! [...]
Note: this post has been updated. The best side-benefit of the Paleo/Primal lifestyle has been the way I’ve been constantly, gently, inevitably nudged toward a life of greater thoughtfulness. The SAD pushers, the low-fat freaks, the whole-grain garbagemen – the Miss Trunchbulls of the School of Fake Food – set the stage for years of [...]
The Real Food community in which I dwell LURVES its 30-day compliance challenges. Most folks find them refreshing, motivating, and inspiring (but, on the flip side, for SOME they probably exacerbate neurotic behavior). But a strength of these challenges is that they get the “good word” out to others and set a nice, loud, committed [...]
I’ll be back to the science-y and foodie fun eventually. For a few more days, I’m going to lounge, soak up family time, and get all philosophical-y. The thing I love most about holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas (setting aside any historical or religious debate, of course) is the opportunity these days present to remember [...]
Oooooobviously I use the term “Cave Girl” loosely. I don’t frequently wear a loincloth, and I generally manage to cook my food (whether it tastes decent is something else entirely). I call my little corner of the internet “Cave Girl Eats” because I try to eat with the diet of a pre-agricultural bipedal hominid in [...]
So I’m over halfway through my self-tasked Elimination Challenge (temporarily removing common Paleo-friendly, yet known allergenic foods like eggs, nuts, and nightshades) and I’m feeling AWESOME. While I’m still committed to the cause, I’ve lacked motivation this week. I’ve just baaarely eked out compliant dishes for dinner, and a few times I’ve slowed waaaay down [...]
Thursday, July 29, 2010 Thursday is always a good day. Must be the memories of college days when Thursday was the end of the week – regardless of the classes, tests, or obligations still to come on Friday. Quick rant: I’ve heard a lot of chatter about veganism recently. My response? Humans are omnivores, and [...]
Looking back over the last 10 years of diet and exercise disasters, I couldn’t help but laugh. Hard. I have crashed and burned more times than I can count. Picture my gigantic lumbering lug of a dog hurling himself straight into a gleaming glass door in a well-intentioned, excited attempt to reach the backyard. Now [...]
