As I enter into the second week of my Whole30 food challenge, I thought it would be fun to show you what the first week looked like.

Mark your calendars for this weekend, November 15th & 16th, for the event held at Dallas Market Center. If you remember my previous posts (2012 & 2013), you … Continue reading
It Starts With Food: Do You Want To Do A Whole30?
I have a secret that I’ve been keeping from you about the way I’ve been eating for the past three weeks. I’ve been doing a Whole30 (aka Paleo on steroids)…but first there’s this. Sometimes when you hear the Frozen soundtrack sung to you ALL day EVERY day, this is what happens: Do You Want To Do A … Continue reading

Decide What’s Important To You
…and your family. We met up with some friends last week (who happen to be workout freaks) and I could tell the wife was itching to pick my brain. She knows I’m Paleo and that I cook all.the.time. So while I was sitting on the couch, she came to sit by me and asked, “Jess, do you really … Continue reading
Cappello’s Almond Flour Pasta (Gluten, Grain, And Dairy-Free)
In honor of Celiac Disease Awareness month, let’s talk food. (See last year’s post here) Check it out. It’s the pasta of all pastas! Well, it is for us Paleo people.

She Doesn’t Know Any Different
I almost titled this post, ‘She doesn’t know any better,’ but thought that wouldn’t be fair. I wanted to do a post talking about the way Emma eats. Those crunchy people out there won’t really be surprised at what she eats, but most people I’ve encountered are shocked and maybe a little disgusted at what … Continue reading

Why I’m Giving Up Dairy, For Real
There have been lots of changes going on the past few weeks, and now it’s time to get serious. I know I’ve talked about eating Paleo, which means cutting out dairy, but for some reason, I’ve given myself permission to literally gorge on the stuff. Those days are no more. It’s been affecting me AND … Continue reading
Family Traditions: Donating Blood
I know this is kind of a random topic, but go with it. This past weekend, the family loaded up in Josh’s truck and headed south to Carter Blood Care. We both were getting calls saying they were running low on donations, and wanted to know when we could come in. Well, since I stay … Continue reading
