• RECIPE: Unicorn Fuel

    The best part of waking up is actually waking up, duh. This was created for a client that just couldn’t get into BP no matter how much I pitched its benefits. They just loved their frothy mocha time in the morning and that was that. Fair, you like what you like. I get it, I am the same way with my men, I mean, coffee too. The first time I…

  • RECIPE: Freddy’s BBQ Joint Ribs (House Of Cards)

    By now most of you should have binged your way through watching House Of Cards. Are you feeling a little dirty too? I think I need therapy to process it all. That ONE scene towards the last couple of episodes that threw us ALL for a loop. You know which one I’m talking about! You were probably thinking, WHAT? No! Really? I don’t understand! But hey, Frank slept well that night.…

  • Play, Anxiety & The Princess Bride – A Book Review

    I was going to write an email about hustle (goal attaining) this week, but when I woke up yesterday I was hit with a wave of anxiety. After about an hour of forcing it and exasperating that false sense of urgency, I decided to walk away for the day. Instead of squeezing blood out of a turnip, I went to the beach and spent the day at my local watering hole…

  • Monday Perspective

    Happy Monday! Was that annoying? It used to annoy the crap out of me too, until one day I decided to flip the script one Monday back in my corporate hustle days. The previous week was the absolute WORST and it carried over into my weekend. I’m talking lost contracts, asshole managers, “gunna leave a turd in my cube-mate’s desk” kind of worst. And then there was my personal life.…

  • Moderation Is The Bane Of Your Awesome

    Client: Moderation is key! Me: Right, because you are working towards becoming ‘moderately happy and healthy’. Makes sense. Client: No, that’s not what I meant. Me: Right. Moderation is circumstantial, and frankly, abused as a an excuse before you even begin. Why would you do that, allow for an ounce of ‘fall off the wagon’ before you even start? C’mon, commit. No, I am not abolishing your cheat day or…

  • Eggplant Lasagna Stack

    This is one of my favorite dishes to make (and eat) – generally I prepare it as a large casserole but I was inspired by Nom Nom Paleo’s presentation in her book Food For Humans by stacking it when I prepared it last week for a client. After posting it to Instagram, a ton of you asked for my recipe, including one of my Olympic crushes so naturally I had to write this recipe out.…

  • RECIPE: Just Another Paleo Pumpkin Pie Recipe

    How many pumpkin pie recipes does this world need? Roughly 400 of you asked for my version last week, so here it is, sort of. There are a couple of ‘secret’ ingredients I left out because a magician cannot reveal all his or her tricks.  Maybe next year. Or maybe just next month as a Christmas present. Or maybe NEVER – I wonder when my Grandmother started hoarding her best…

  • 5 Ways To Stay Paleo At Work

    Unless you’re truly a caveman who makes their paycheck by starring in Geico commercials, chances are you work in an office.  As you read this post you are likely hunched over your desk, shoulders forward, and eyes squinting at the computer screen. Am I right?  Yeah, figured as much. *wink* Let me venture further, and guess that the company sponsored team lunch today was full of gluten, soy, dairy and…
