Shout out for Wild Mountain Raw Foods
I freaking love their crackers. They're a small Colorado company, and I'd love for them to grow so they stay in business!! I buy these at Whole Foods, but if you're not in Colorado, you probably need to buy them online. http://www.wildmountainfoods.com/index.html I buy their crackers, and use them when I eat tuna salad,…

Cholesterol CAN be exciting!!
I know this is just tooting my own horn, but I'm really excited! We've been eating Primally for a year now. I've been really curious about what my cholesterol levels are since making the switch. We know the benefits of eating this way and have reaped many of them, but there is always that little twinge that tells you that…

Good egg cups
There are 101 different recipes for egg cups/crustless quiche, etc... I came across this one this weekend and made up a batch - I normally grab and go 2 hard boiled egg whites (don't like hard boiled egg yolk) & some sausage for breakfast so this was a way to change it up... I followed her steps pretty exactly (right down…

Make my Dinner!
Ok. I have grass-fed ground beef thawed. I've been waking up in the middle of the night (1am) every night this week to work on several big projects, and I still have a long road ahead before I finish today. It's only 11am, and my brain is starting to fry. Soooo tired. Forget about sane cortisol levels. Paleo/Primal friends…

Intro
Hello Everyone, Just thought I would introduce myself here. My name is Steve. I've been on MFP for a while now. I lost a ton of weight on the whole "conventional wisdom" thing.

A good iced tea blend?
I love iced tea, but can't stand the bitterness of the usual orange/black blend that Lipton and the other American iced tea makers use, nor am I a fan of whatever specific green tea blend they use. To drink it, I used to just sweeten it, but it takes quite a bit to cut the bitterness enough. I know there are a ton of other…

I suppose ground beef wrapped in seaweed for the sushi bazooka but the "rice eating tube" I just…

Once you go paleo you can't go back.
So, I thought I'd like a wrap this weekend. (Its TOTM so I crave carbs). I had to buy a pack of 8- and by day 4 they had all gone. OMG- the bloating, the pain, the need to lie prostrate in bed and waste my bank holiday. So what have I learnt? Its just not worth it- once you go Paleo, you won't go back! (Plus they did not…

buy books or just rely on websites?
I want to be more versed in paleo cooking. I know there are tons of internet resources, many of which I have already bookmarked. I want to know if it's worth it to invest in an actual cookbook, such as Make it Paleo(from the website the food lovers kitchen). Any thoughts?

Paleo/Primal on the go?
Hi all! I'm starting university again in ten days and I could use some ideas on foods to bring with me on the days that I'm in classes all day. I'm going to be working out at the gym and trying to eat about 3000 calories a day, so they have to be high calorie and high in protein. Minimal prep time preferred, I don't have…
