Plastics. I can hardly say the word without making the "yuck" face. Don't get me wrong I understand that plastics have done some wondrous things for us, especially in medicine and in medical devices. But plastics are EVERYWHERE these days. Corporate America is telling me I need to drink out of plastic, eat off of plastic, wrap my food in plastic, carry my stuff in plastic bags, store my kids toys in plastic, and buy up single use plastics as much as possible to make my like easier. What they … [Read more...]
Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with Garlic Oil
Another meal success with eMeals! I wrote about them a little over a week ago and how their service is helping me plan some yummy meals. This particular meal was on their special Paleo Valentine's menu that was a bonus perk of membership. They have a regular Valentine's menu too but since I am on the paleo menu plan I got the paleo one. I thought that was very nice bonus. My husband will be working on Valentine's Day most likely so we went ahead and made one of the meals today for a cozy … [Read more...]
Should We Get Behind Plastic Bag Bans?
When it comes to Government legislation I don't tow any particular party line. I like to look at each situation individually and make up my mind.

If I lived in California I would have … [Read more...]
Primal Coconut Raspberry Muffins
I am trying to avoid buying anymore LaraBars. Primarily this is because I am sick of spending so much money on them and because they bring needless packaging into our lives. Their parent company is also throwing money at legislation that would limit our rights to know if we are consuming GMOs. There are plenty of reasons why my LaraBar habit needs to be kicked but it is so hard! I love those tasty little bars, they are paleo/primal friendly, and they are the perfect light meal to eat on my way … [Read more...]
My Friday the 13th Baby
Six years ago today on Friday the 13th I got the most wonderful gift... my last child, Mr. Parker. For years we called him Parkoo because that is what my then one year old daughter called him. Despite the fact that I was nursing him in tandem with his sister he was still the fattest little breastfed baby ever. Scrumptious! Of all my kids he has been the easiest and he does things in his own time and way. He hated co-sleeping and wanted to sleep in a crib until he hit the ripe old age of three, … [Read more...]
