I was about to recommend arrowroot, but I looked it up and it looks like it's related to cassava. What about almond flour? I personally wouldn't want to use almond or any nut flour because when you think about it, that's a lot of nuts in whatever amount of flour you're using. But I suppose as an occasional treat....

I should have been more specific. The source IS grass-fed. Just a cheaper cut. Anyway, I didn't think there would be much of a different between cuts... not in terms of the muscle meat. Just curios if anyone had read anything at some point. I understand about the fat also. This cut is pretty lean though (no marbling), but…

Cool! I'll look into the continuous brewer. Sounds easy!

Also, I believe the store bought brands are pasteurized, so perhaps not as beneficial.

I started my first batch Wednesday. I got my scoby from a friend at work who has started making it. You can buy them online though. These are the websites I used to learn how to do it. I think I am going to write my own blog about it at some point.... after I master it and start experimenting with flavors.…

I needed to come back to this thread and find your post just to say THANK YOU! I tried the egg sheet last night to make chicken tacos. A little flimsy and delicate, but they worked great! My husband loved them too! I think this will be a staple in my house from now on. I find tacos to be really easy because all you need is…

I, too, struggle to stay on track even though I discovered a couple of years ago that this is better. Why is this???? Let's add each other.

Thanks for all the ideas everyone! I can't wait to update my kitchen. I've been wanting to replace my knives. Sounds like the Wusthof knife is the way to go! And i need to get a spirelli!!!

We are in the market for a new fridge as well. We are moving and need one. We currently have a side-by-side, and yes.... worst idea ever. I followed your link and this is pretty much what I want too! Can't wait!

I was training for triathlons and needed some high carb options. Check out this link for high carb foods: http://balancedbites.com/2011/08/paleo-diet-carbs.html

I'm so excited that they emphasized the meat being grass fed and from humanely treated animals.

ME!!!

Wow! Thanks! I'll have to try this!

You are gorgeous! Way to go! I love that last picture.... your outfit is so cute and it looks like a magazine ad!

Wow, Tank you! Just the kick-in-the-pants I needed this morning. I am training for an event and have a party this weekend (my favorite party of the year), so I have been going back and forth on whether or not to drink while there.... Thanks for pushing me off the fence!!!

I liked Food Inc. It's not geared towards Paleo per se, but I love the emphasis on how horrible the food industry is and how the local farmer is the good guy!!!

I've been buying homemade deodorant on Etsy. The ingredients are coconut oil and some other stuff. None of that Aluminum whatever. Also, I have not washed my hair with shampoo since April. I use baking soda as shampoo and vinegar as conditioner. I also stopped washing my body with regular soap and use homemade goats milk…

Hmmmm.... let's see.... 1. Oreo's for me too. If I eat one, I'm cashing out the entire bag. It's inevitable, so I just don't even bring them into the house. No, I can't eat them "in moderation". I admit it.... I'm a total loser when it comes to "everything in moderation.... blah,blah, blah". 2. Soda. I love Coke and…

I would imagine that you lost some water weight and are not as bloated. It happened to me too, although not as extreme. After just a few days of whole foods and weight lifting, i felt less bloated and had dropped weight. I was surprised. You are looking really good, so keep it up!

Soeties when I am feeling slightly hungry, I just eat a tablespoon or two right out of the jar! LOL! It's kinda gross at first, but you get used to it. It makes my hunger go away.

I should probably try it just to see how dairy affects me.

I am primal, not paleo so I eat diary. I do often feel like I should cut out diary and go full paleo. I have never been big on milk anyway so that part would be easy or me. Greek yogurt, I like, but it wouldn't kill me to stop eating. I LOVE cheese though. Ugh..... Maybe I could just have it once in a blue moon.

I read somewhere that when you eat a ton of carbs (bad carbs like bread, etc) your body holds on to a lot of water. So when you switch over, you dump all that water weight. It's awesome because the first week you already feel less bloated and lighter!

Yeah, I guess if it fits into my macros with everything else I shouldn't worry. I use frozen berries like ice cream!! So yummy after dinner!

I eat bacon. I buy the nitrate free with no sugar. The ingredients are: pork and sea salt. Sounds pretty paleo to me!!! Oh and (pasture raised) eggs???? The more, the merrier!

Some of these aren't really vegetables, but here are my favorites: Sweet potato Broccoli Cauliflower (I really only like this when I make mashed cauliflower, otherwise I find it bleh) Kale Collards Avocado Mushrooms Onion Zucchini Kohlrabi Cucumber Okra (unfortunately, I love this battered and fried)

It usually ends up as dog treats. I haven't thought of frying it until crisp. That sounds good, so I may try it.

Fortunately my neighborhood has zero traffic except for people that live there, so I just pay attention and wear my earbuds. If I venture out further than my neighborhood I just keep one in and leave my right ear free. I also keep the volume down.

There's a big difference between selective breeding vs. intentionally swapping out strands of DNA containing genes completely foreign to the species using bacterial vectors. Just FYI.

You're hot!
