Coconut Creme
So in the past I know I have come accross recipies that call for coconut creme...I have just by passed them because we don't have it readily available here and I wasn't going to attempt to make my own. Well Lo and Behold I was at Trader Joes the other day and they had cans of Coconut Creme - so I grabbed a few. Anyone have…

Food Processors
I have smaller foot print one but I am finding I may need to invest in a larger footprint one as I have found a few recipies that call for the use of a food processor but to do it in my small one would be a no go (for example I mainly use it to rice cauliflower and it takes 3-4 turns to do just 1/2 a head). I am looking…

Julian Bakery Paleo Bread
Anyone tried this bread before - good, bad, in different? Both my husband and I are primal - I have attempted to make "paleo" bread but I just can't get it right - doesn't come out good for me.

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…

Commercially Produced bars?
Does anyone have a source for Primal/Paleo friendly commercially produced bars? I know Larabars are considered clean for Paleo but I was wondering if anyone knows of any others - preferably that have a decent amount of protien in them. This morning I realized I forgot to boil eggs last night to grab and go (usually have 2…

Color me confused...No sugar....
I am posting this here rather than the main boards because I don't want to read 101 posts about how sugar isn't bad for you and you should just eat in moderation... An co-worker of mine (not really a friend) was commenting on how much weight I have lost and asked me what i was doing - I didn't use the word Paleo but simply…

How much coffee do you drink a day...
for those that drink coffee... How does it relate to water or other liquids you drink on a regular basis? I currently drink 75-100+ ounces of water a day and usually 2 cups of coffee a day (if I wind up having one after 6pm I grab a decaf - and they are usually 8-10 ounces) - sometimes a cup of tea...don't really drink…

I am doing one in the beginning of May? Wondering if anyone has done one of the Rugged Manic events and can give me insight... It will be my first "5K" and I am doing it with some friends and since I don't run it will just be very fast walking between the obsticales

Paleo changing lives
So I have been following primal/paleo for awhile. About a month ago a friend from college emailed me and asked some questions. I told him to read about it - gave him links to some of the bigger websites as well as a bunch of links to paleo friendly blogs I like. I told him the pros and the cons and told him he really had…

30 day Strict results...
So I have spent the past 2 years steadily cleaning up my diet and incorporating exercise... In November I did a 30 day whole food cleanse under the guidence of a nutrionist...after that I left some stuff out of my diet but still allowed other stuff back in - I was eating clean with a slant towards Primal. Through my CF…

Talking with friends about Paleo...
Mike sort of touched on this with his post the other day about his Gym conversation... Anyone else have a hard time discussing your "lifestyle eating choice" with other people when they question it? After 2 years of cleaning up my diet in stages and eating with a Primal/Paleo slant since Novemeber and now jumping all in…

Those that use coconut milk in your coffee...
I have only ever used coconut milk from a can in one of two ways.. 1 - in cooking where it takes the whole can 2- fridge it - open it scoop out the solids and whip it up to use on berries... For those who use it in your coffee - do you just scoop a chunk of the solid and plop it in - since after you open the can you need…

Workout Gear
Anyone know of a company/brand that does good womens workout gear- I am looking for some tops that are sleeveless and tighter on top but flow away a little bit from the mid section (jelly belly does not look good encased in any form of spandex) and hit mid thigh or below...I want to be comfortable when working out but all…
