Likewise, all the ingredients - all four - must be of the utmost freshness and quality. Ingredients for one: 1 strip Applegate Farms Sunday Bacon 6-8oz Grass Fed Sirloin Steak 1 medium sized organic zucchini … [Read more...] about The Simple Supper – 4 Total Ingredients

Primal Blueprint Cookbook – Mark Sisson

A little secret is that I eat somewhat low carb on a regular basis, but will go extremely low carb for short … [Read more...] about Primal Blueprint Cookbook – Mark Sisson
What a Big Weekend!
As far as we know - and we both checked, Laurel Blackburn of Tallahassee Kettlebells and Boot Camps To Go and I are the only 2 female RKC Level 2 Instructors in Florida.
