I met Scott Grzybek, founder of Zukay Live Foods, several years ago at a Weston Price conference. I was so impressed by Zukay’s resolve to sourcing local, organic foods and their commitment to utilizing ancient and traditional preparation methods to create quality foods! I recently got the opportunity to try several of Zukay’s organic, live, [...]
It’s St. Patrick’s Day… and the traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage alongside a dark stout or porter is being served in many homes, bars and pubs. I grew up with a strong Irish influence by way of my grandfather. St. Patrick’s Day was a day to gather around, enjoy a good meal and [...]
This is a quick and easy real food meal! It works as an appetizer or as a main course and it’s delicious. We used to love ordering lettuce wraps at the restaurant P.F. Chang’s. This, of course, was before we switched to a real food lifestyle. I don’t even want to think about what unpronounceable [...]

Good morning, sunshine! Oh, what? You’re not your usual cheery, rosy self this morning? Overindulge a bit last night, did we? I’ll take that feeble little head nod as a sign that you could use some help today to get back to feeling your best. I’ll even spare you the rhetoric on why overindulging is [...]
Growing up in Texas, bourbon balls were a standard holiday tradition. Popular recipes include vanilla wafers, corn syrup and other nasty processed food ingredients, so we’ve been avoiding these delicious confections for many years. However, this year we decided to recreate some family favorites, and these were at the top of the list. This version [...]
