At the recommendation of a reader (thanks, Dawn!) I picked up the book, Practical Paleo, and read it cover to cover in about three days. It wasn’t a lot of new information (to me) but it was a great recap of everything I’ve read and learned over the past few years since discovering the wisdom and common sense… Continue Reading →
I realize that I haven’t written much about real food living in a long time. I am no less convinced about the benefits of real food than I was when I was writing about it regularly, but I guess I sort of feel like I said all there is to say. And to tell the… Continue Reading →
Most “real foodies” — a term I loathe, but it gets my point across succinctly, and let’s face it, succinct is not my strong suit — avoid boxed breakfast cereals like the plague, and when I hopped on that real food train, I promptly removed breakfast cereals from our pantry as well. It didn’t take… Continue Reading →
Remember back in the 1992 Presidential campaign, one of the popular slogans surrounding Clinton’s campaign was, “It’s the economy, stupid.” Well, I have a variation on the phrase. Every time I get fed up with how I feel and what the scale says, and I look at my diet, I always come back to the… Continue Reading →
Today was our first CSA* pickup. We are new to the CSA, and I have to admit, I am a bit overwhelmed. This is a HALF SHARE, believe it or not! I’m SO glad we decided to split our CSA share with a neighbor. I’m impressed with the quality of the produce, and it’s all… Continue Reading →
Emily writes in: Hi there Jo-Lynne, I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now, and I must say, your passion for whole foods and the information you’ve provided has really been convicting for me. Eating organically has always been a goal of mine, but long put-off mostly because of affordability and being single, so I… Continue Reading →
This is a post I hoped I’d never have to write. And honestly, I will admit that I considered not writing it. But I know that I have to. I owe it to you, after all I’ve written on this subject, to be completely honest about what has happened, so that you can make an… Continue Reading →
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and it occurred to me that there are two completely different philosophies when it comes to food. Of course there are those who don’t think much about food at all, which I find rather sad. Yesterday I listened to this presentation by Joel Salatin called Dancing With… Continue Reading →
I rarely post videos because personally I don’t usually take the time to watch them. But this one is worth your 20 minutes. It gets really good about halfway through. Stick with him. Trust me. If for some reason the video doesn’t load for you, you can find it at Ted.com. I’d love to hear your… Continue Reading →
I met Lydia of Divine Health from the Inside Out last year at the Wise Traditions Conference in nearby King of Prussia, PA. We made fast friends and have kept in touch ever since. Since I’m going away this weekend and have been pretty much swamped with work-related projects, she agreed to write a guest post… Continue Reading →
I’m glad you're here! I'm a writer, talker, coffee addict and collector of people and handbags. I live outside of Philly with my husband, 3 children, and a terribly spoiled shih tzu named Savannah. Read More →
