Simple Cold Lentil Salad – Delicious Resistant Starch
After reading a recent article by Mark Sisson about resistant starches, I was inspired to share this very simple but very delicious (opinion) way to enjoy lentils. While most people eating Primal Blueprint or Paleo diets avoid legumes, I have been known to eat lentils here and there. Oddly I enjoy them the most cold--whole-y unaware that "cooked then cooled" was a way to create … [Read more...] about Simple Cold Lentil Salad – Delicious Resistant Starch
Bizarre But Useful Kettlebell Workout: The Puppy and the Beast v2.0
Tested this one with an advanced friend... it's actually the 2nd version and I like it the best so far. We had a couple of odd social type interruptions but overall it went very well (and it got rid of my headache). Also, I have now seen in public doing swings with both the smallest kettlebell and the largest kettlebell that Dragon Door makes... hence the name of the … [Read more...] about Bizarre But Useful Kettlebell Workout: The Puppy and the Beast v2.0

Endangered Species Chocolate – Organic Health Dark Chocolate with Goji Berries, Pecans and Maca
Not only does it have an adorable looking spider monkey on the wrapper, 10% of the profits of the sale of these chocolate bars go to help endangered species. So there are many reasons to feel good about indulging in this bar. Or rather, HALF of this bar at a time... RIGHT????? Superfood content helps to take the antioxident power of the 70% cacao ethically traded … [Read more...] about Endangered Species Chocolate – Organic Health Dark Chocolate with Goji Berries, Pecans and Maca

Active Rest Can Be a LOT of Fun!
Dear Northern Friends, Sorry to gloat about the good weather we are having this weekend, but it was so nice outside today that a friend and I decided to walk to a nearby park and set up our slacklines. The very cool thing was also realizing that the next time, we could pick up picnic items on the way and really turn it into a day long outdoor fun time. Can't complain … [Read more...] about Active Rest Can Be a LOT of Fun!
