It was a good weekend - I hope yours was too! My parents were in town and we had a good time talking about food, etc. and trying one of the new local restaurants which had some incredible things on the menu - regular Girya Girl favorites like roasted Brussels sprouts (they had paired them with carrots and parsnips!!!!), an incredible fritatta, and even a little "Faleo" on my … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: Family Influence, Coconut Oil, etc.

Grassfed Beef London Broil Obsession and Recipe
I used to cook London broil incorrectly (more like roast beef) and it was still a favorite. Finally decided to get really zen with it and just cook it over and over until it became second nature. Our local food coop, Weaver Street Market, regularly has incredibly tasty local grassfed beef - including London broil cuts, and I couldn't help but notice that even when it's not on … [Read more...] about Grassfed Beef London Broil Obsession and Recipe

1 Organic Coconut Flour - 2.2 lbs.

The Extreme Value of Delicious Delivered Organic Fruits and Vegetables With Unpacking VIDEO!
My main arguments against planning out meals too far in advance, or buying meal plans from others are: I change my mind a lot, and my best meals (that result in shared recipes) are nearly spontaneous. Don't tell ME what to eat. I often take advantage of seasonal (read "on sale") organic foods. While I can certainly see the value in diet-specific or contest prep … [Read more...] about The Extreme Value of Delicious Delivered Organic Fruits and Vegetables With Unpacking VIDEO!
Pumpkin Spice Season, Jeff Fish and the Atlanta Falcons, Overhead Kettlebell Carries
