Recently my reading has been purely for entertainment and, as a result, I’ve been reading a lot of crime fiction. Continue reading “February and March – The Year in Books”
Guacamole
Before I started following the Paleo way of eating I would have told you that I didn’t like the taste of avocado. Continue reading “Guacamole”

And breathe.
I didn’t plan a blog break right then – life just took over. First we had visitors for nearly two weeks, I thought that I could just continue on as normal but that was impossible. Work didn’t happen, blogging didn’t happen, and unfortunately neither did exercise. The good thing is that my food and diet did continue on as normal – I haven’t weighed myself but I would hope that there has been no change with my weight.
How to lose 100lbs – Accountability
I am going to start the habit of accountability here on the blog. Sometimes (like today) this will take up a whole blog post but, because I don’t want it to get too tedious, sometimes I will just add an ‘update’ paragraph or two at the end of other posts.
Beef Bone Broth
I became interested in bone broth while researching joint health, before I had heard about Paleo. Although bone broth might appear to be the latest thing, it isn’t anything new, it is simply a stock made from animal bones and vegetables, and cooked for a long time (often in a slow cooker).
Roast Chicken Dinner
I want to follow the last post with a meal recipe that clearly demonstrates the Paleo diet. If you are from the UK, then you should definitely recognise this meal: A traditional roast chicken Sunday lunch.
This is my mum’s roast chicken, I don’t always use this method but I love the way it creates a cosy, warming meal for the winter months.
My Paleo Diet – Introduction
Before I discovered the Whole30, I had already dismissed Paleo as being total and utter nonsense.
My first impression of Paleo had been of a diet where you could eat lots of indulgent cakes and bakes, all day, as long as they were made out of super expensive* ‘Paleo’ ingredients, and (Abracadabra!) you would lose a lot of weight.
Well (you may be relieved to hear) that interpretation of Paleo didn’t make an awful lot of sense to me.

The Beach
When I was a child I lived two miles from the sea. If I walked to the top of the country lane behind my house I could clearly see the sunlight and clouds reflecting on the sea in the distance.
