Nutritional Misinformation

November 11, 2013November 11, 2013 James Burnette 7 Comments

Nutritional Misinformation pretty much runs rampant in the US and the entire world. Since the introduction of the food pyramid obesity rates have increased. Along with getting fatter diabetes has followed suite increasing. Following the food pyramid does not make you healthy but quite the opposite. It leads to over consuming of carbohydrates and sugar and trying to eliminate healthy fats. The term balanced diet is in truth horrible unbalanced. With over thirty years of failed diet information from the government you would think that the American people would see that a high carb low fat diet is bad. With all the studies out there that prove it is not healthy you would think people would wake up. Much like with current politics and the need to prepare for a shifting society normalcy bias prevents most people from seeing the truth. Today is mostly a rant about and I know how many of you love those.

I got the chance to review the new paleo cook book Make Ahead Paleo by Tammy Credicot. First off this book is gorgeous. The pictures in this book will make you so hungry. I also loved the creativity in the recipes. The book is absolutely true to paleo and has no recipes that contain grains, gluten, dairy, soy, legumes (well I think I saw a green been recipe) or cane sugar. The other big difference in this book is that it is aimed at what many of us do which is prepare meals ahead of time and freeze them. Having a healthy meal ready to go when you are hungry can be a life saver. In the book there are over 100 beautifully photographed recipes. It comes with inventory sheets to keep track of the frozen meals. Recipes for your slow cooker to have wonderful meals for you waiting at home. Recipes to take on the road and meals you can make in your hotel room, so you never have an excuse for not eating well. For many who are not great at making up dishes this book will really help you create wonderful meals ahead of time. If you’re looking for a new paleo cook book then I suggest grabbing a copy of Make Ahead Paleo when it goes on sale September 24th! Now let me share a favorite recipe from the book with you.

Cauliflower Faux Potato Salad

July 9, 2013July 9, 2013 James Burnette

I saw on Facebook recently a link to a no-potato salad, a recipe to make knock off potato salad, using cauliflower. I’ve made mashed cauliflower for years and enjoy potato salad so I couldn’t believe I had never thought of this before. I am terrible about following recipes so I skimmed the article and decided to wing it. I used the things I had on hand to make this instead of going out for anything. If your the type to follow a recipe I’ll share mine with you, if you are not just skim and wing it too!

It’s getting warmer outside and that means that it’s time for ice cream. I am OK with the occasion treat but would rather keep to eating paleo when possible. So If I can make homemade paleo ice cream, meaning no dairy for starters, then all the better. Also being homemade I know all the ingredients in the ice cream. Lets get down to this quick and easy recipe.

Paleo Banana Nut Crunch

March 8, 2013March 8, 2013 James Burnette 2 Comments

My favorite cereal is by far Banana Nut Crunch. I love the stuff. Back when I ate cereal, which was about ten years ago, I ate the stuff often. Since then I usually eat a box a year. I was reading about a paleo cereal one day, which is an oxymoron in itself, and thought it would be great to remake my favorite. I kicked the idea around my head for a while and looked over the official box and copied the allowable ingredients. I changed things a big and added one of my own. This article will be short but sweet, literally.
