Easy candied orange peel
When December rolls around, you can count on me to first start thinking of what holiday treats I’ll be creating. Shortbread is a given, both sweet and savory. Fruitcake (yes!). Something chocolate, whether that’s a dark flourless cookie or almond roca bars, or – in rare years – chocolate fudge. And candied orange peel. It’s…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 20
On days like this when so much is going on, like, for instance, working and battling with contractors, I wish that the Paleo way of eating didn’t still consume so much of my mental energy. (Sigh.) One thing that’s been bugging me is that I haven’t really kept track of grocery receipts so far. There…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 19
I had been puzzling over what to do with the kohlrabi we got in our CSA box from Cropthorne Farm, and I finally figured it out. Little things like this make me happy. And having a weekly basket of fresh vegetables, which I don’t have to shop for, to get through the remainder of the…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 18
Some skepticism is definitely lurking in the back of my mind about the benefits of the Paleo diet. I’ve been doing this for over two weeks now, and I haven’t noticed much difference in how I feel. Not much at all. Like I mentioned a few days ago, when I was exactly two weeks into…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 17
Exciting news! I’ve found a Paleo bread that is quite acceptable. It is a flatbread, though. I have yet to crack the code on Paleo sandwich bread (or a baguette of sorts), except maybe in my dreams. (Sigh.) So far, I’ve experimented with a couple recipes to work some bread-like food into the challenge, but…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 16
With a number of foods verboten in the 30-day challenge, I’ve found it’s been helpful to think less about what I can’t eat (I bet I know something that starts with “b”…) and shift my thoughts towards all the things that are included. It’s a good thing that I like vegetables, a lot. In particular,…
The Paleo Diet Challenge: Day 15
I should have added a fourth item to the not-so-good things about the Paleo challenge: Finding blanched almond flour. Before a few weeks ago, I wouldn’t have known this was any different from plain old ground almonds. But in checking out some online resources for Paleo baking, I ran across Elana’s Pantry. She’s quick to…
