Steaks!
I love a good steak. I've become really skilled at preparing them in my cast iron skillet, too! But we all know that the price of beef, especially pasture-raised, is high and is ever increasing. I've found a source for a cut that is relatively inexpensive for the tenderness that it provides. I'd like to continue buying…

Kombucha
Has anyone ever made their own kombucha? I am going to start my very first batch this evening. Just curious if anyone had experience with this.

White Potatoes
Hi Guys! My husband and I are subscribing to a CSA (community supported agriculture). It's fantastic! Every week we pick up a box full of locally grown veggies. For the winter, we are receiving things like collards, lettuces, sweet potatoes, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and a variety of fruit. Here's my…

Fermented Foods
I was reading on MDA at some point that we should consume fermented foods. What's the best thing or what do you do? I really cheese so I have been buying those (expensive) cheeses like Gouda that have the cheese cultures in it. Is there any particular amount of fermented food we should be eating?

Red Palm Oil

What is Whole30?
Okay, Okay..... I pretty much know what the Whole30 is..... Eat whole foods for 30 days. But, what are the differences between doing a whole 30 and just simply eating Paleo? Kinda confused as to the reasons for people who already eat Paleo to do a Whole30.....

Fruit and Berries
I'm not big on fruit and I guess that's good because of the sugar content. But I really enjoy eating frozen berries!!! I could sit and eat an entire bag of frozen berries in one sitting. I know for the primal/paleo diet berries are recommended over fruit, but how much is too much?

Fish Skin?
Do you eat the skin of your fish? For example, Wild Salmon?

Ladies Please.... Men, you may comment on behalf of your SO
Hi gals!!! (and guys... you know you looked) I was just curious as to how your time-of-the-month has changed since going primal/paleo. I am curious if I possibly have anything else to look forward to. So far, I am very happy with the difference. I am having MUCH less cramping and pain. I don't feel as fat and bloated…

You Tub of Lard!!!!
I have never bought lard before. I have been looking it up online to try and find various suppliers and brands. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what I should be looking for and paying attention to? Does anyone know a brand that is tried-and-true?? Thanks!!!

Paleo version of Gatorade???
Hi guys! I was terribly sick over the weekend. I had some sort of stomach flu or possibly even food poisoning. Anyway, without giving you all the gory details, you need to understand that I was horribly dehydrated!!!! I was so dehydrated that my feet and legs were cramping, causing my toes to painfully curl. Ouch!!!…

Things you buy almost every shopping trip and are always in your fridge because it's impossible to run out of due to the frequency of purchase. Some of Mine? --> Grass Fed Ground Beef Eggs Butter and coconut oil Greek yogurt Seasonal Veggies

Processed Garbage Article
Another reason not to eat processed garbage: http://www.salon.com/2013/03/17/modern_chicken_has_no_flavor_lets_make_it_in_a_lab/ I'm not sure why they used Chipotle as an example though..... they only mention them once and in a positive manner.

Raw Milk
One of the maintenance guys at my office raises his own livestock. He brought me some of his raw milk. I have never tried raw milk before, but I am excited!!! I will let you guys know what I think afterwards!

Bulletproof Coffee Question
Okay..... I've been putting off trying the bulletproof coffee mainly because I feel like it is too labor intensive. I know, I know.... you just brew and blend, but my mornings are always so busy. And don't you have to heat your blender prior to pouring a pot of hot coffee into it? Does anyone make the coffee without…

Women Lifters - How many times a week?
I am mainly a triathlete and also play soccer. I used to lift weights a little when I was bigger into soccer, but only about once a week or less. I've decided that I want to lift more, especially during the triathlon off season (which is now). During the season, I may only lift once a week, but for now, how often should I…

Running and Cuboid Syndrome
I developed cuboid syndrome (subluxation) after doing a 10k that I was not ready for and just pushed myself through. Yeah, stupid, I know.... I have plans to see my chiropractor who also specializes in running injuries. Apparently, it can be popped back into place. Has anyone ever had this? What can I do to speed up my…

Tahini
I saw Tahini today while shopping for almond butter. It's sesame seed puree or something like that. Does anyone buy this? What do you do with it?

Vegetable Oil Recipe
I have a pizza sauce recipe that calls for 1 TBSP Vegetable oil. Will 1 TBSP of olive oil be an even exchange or do I need to alter the amount? Also, it calls for 1 tsp of sugar. I figure honey will do the trick. Maybe 2 instead of 1?

Is my Coconut Oil bad?
I don't use coconut oil that often to cook with because I am a huge fan of butter and bacon grease. But I got my jar out the other night because I feel like I should incorporate more of it since it's so healthy. Normally it's a juicy, fluffy consistancy but last night it was straight liquid.... the entire jar. Is it bad or…

Crock Pot
I am just learning how awesome my crock pot is!!! Toss in dinner, flip the dial, walk out the door, and BAM!!! Dinner is ready when I get home from work. A-Ma-Zing!!! So far I haven't really done any recipes. I find it simple just to throw in a chicken or roast with some veggies. I really enjoy that and it's so simple.…

Non-paleo foods that are "not so bad"
Do any of you consider some of the evil foods to be over varying degrees of evil? For example, I think wheat and corn are absolutely terrible and I make every attempt to keep them out of my diet. But, I feel like white potatoes and possibly even rice may not be as bad as wheat or corn and if I slip up and have a small…

Greek Yogurt
I've posted a topic about Greek Yogurt before.... when I was just trying it for the first time. Now I have found that I love the stuff! It's a great snack with berries or just by itself. One problem is, I can't find any brands that are full fat. They are all 0 or 2%. What's up with that???

"Not-so-bad" evil foods
I accidently posted this in the regular forum. I was wondering why people were talking about the pop tarts they ate, etc. I also noticed a very different and condenscending attitude... I was like "Man, the Primal support group has really changed". That's when I realized it was on the regular forum..... :laugh: So let me…
