Lucky day #13 of the National Preparedness Month of giveaways and it’s sure to perk you up. Today I have a 12oz package of Lock N Load Java’s Double Tap special reserve. The Double Tap is medium roast coffee grown in the premier highland coffee growing regions. It consists of a blend of Ethiopian and Sumatran beans. Lock N Load deals only with reputable growers with small sustainably farms. Buying only the highest quality perfectly ripened beans.
Up today is the oh so delicious and (mostly) paleo friendly Lara Bars. If you somehow have not heard of they are a brand of energy bar made from fruit, nuts and spices. Larabar’s are made from whole foods and each flavor contains no more than nine ingredients. They were created by Lara Merriken during a hike in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

I prefer to make things up as I go. My only real guilty pleasure being the Paleo biscuits and gravy From the Paleo Comfort Foods Book. I’m southern and need my occasional (once every few months) biscuits and gravy.

Today I’m going to show you how to make paleo bread at home.
A while back a friend of mine posted a video on Facebook of chef Gordon Ramsey making scrambled eggs. I thought I had cooked eggs pretty much any way you could imagine. This way blew me away. I simplified it and made it fit my paleo model much closer. You could probably

Over the weekend I decided to brew up a batch of homebrew beer. I had bought the supplies a few weeks ago and finally had the chance to make it. Let me show you how I brew and why I do it that way
