Paleo Dessert: Flourless Mocha-Almond Brownies

This dessert was inspired by the recipe on "Practical Paleo" (page 410). I wasn't crazy about topping the batter with chopped bacon pieces, so I replaced them with sliced almonds. This is such a rich and delicous treat!

Free Style Stuffed Peppers

I was inspired by the recipe on "Practical Paleo" (page 300) and created these stuffed peppers with ground turkey. I called it "free style" because I could see myslef making this dish often, and each time will probably use different ingredients and spices. I love these stuffed peppers, it's another foolproof paleo dish, yum!

Foolproof Paleo Cookies

Tried two new paleo recipes last night, one from "Practical Paleo" and one from "Make It Paleo". Both turned out so good, hubby (not a paleo eater) even said these cookies were the best he had ever had!

The 1st one is Chocolate Coconut Cookie (recipe from "Practical Paleo" page 394), and the 2nd one is Chocolate Chip Cookie (recipe from "Make It Paleo" page 358). While my cookies didn't look as pretty as the books, but they sure tasted delicious!

1st Harvest From My Garden

Sweet Heat Peppers & Turkish Eggplants... this is the 1st time I've ever grown these two plants. I didn't think they would get any bigger or get any darker in colours, so I cut and roasted some last night. Also made a wonderful paleo dinner with Alaskan King Crabs and fresh green salad.

New Book Has Arrived!

Hooray! Balanced Bites Diane's new book "Practical Paleo" has finally arrived!

I waited for this book for a few months, and it was just published last week. Thanks goodness I got it from Amazon.... Look! our local chapters got none in the store yet!! Slowpoke!!

Anyway, after a quick flipping through, I'm so impressed with the graphics, layout, and the topics she covered. Check it out yourself, I will post my book-review after finish reading it.

Supreme 90 Day

Best home-fitness bargain I've ever got! $19.99 plus S&H for a complete 10-DVD set… that is a very good deal! Some people even call it “poor men’s p90x”! LOL!

I'm on day 20 of this program, I love it very much. I can honestly say that this program is very effective, and I would recommend this program for anyone who would like to build strength and stamina in a short period of time.

Paleo/Primal Fitness Outline

Exercise is a big part of Paleo living, but what should we do? I like Mark Sisson’s "Primal Blueprint Fitness Pyramid", it’s very easy to incorporate into my daily routine, and I don’t even need to go to a gym to get my exercise done.

What Is Eating Paleo?

In a nutshell, eating paloe is eating foods that were eaten by our ancestors long before the introduction of agriculture. So, NO grains, legumes, dairy, and any processed foods.
