Jamie's Thoughts: Why You Need to Learn How to Cook on Paleo

When I was in college, I used to think that I was too much a modern woman to learn how to cook. I wasn't the only one.  A friend of mine would often quip that she had never. touched. raw chicken?!? You can probably guess that my then-diet consisted largely of take out and pre-prepared foods.  It's no wonder I ended up gaining 15 pounds in college...

Fagan Eats Paleo Product Review: Thrive Market

This blog post is about an "online shopping club" I just started using called Thrive Market.  I've heard it described as an online retailer that's like WholeFoods and Costco having a baby.  If you can picture that...

Fagan Eats Paleo Product Review: RxBar Protein Bars

Sometimes I play around with certain macro ratios to see what works best for me.  My biggest challenge is hitting the protein-mark while staying on point with my fat intake at the same time.  It's not easy.  Finding Paleo-friendly, whole food sources of protein bars/powders is equally challenging.  That's why I'm always in search of a great tasting Paleo protein bar.

Jamie's Thoughts: What is Paleo All About Anyway?

I have a lot of people ask me what Paleo is.  I’ve gone so far down the Paleo rabbit hole (listening to podcasts, reading books, following blogs, etc.) that I forget not everyone knows.   I’ll start out by telling you what Paleo is not, followed quickly by what it actually is…

I'm big on making New Year's resolutions.  To be honest, I don't always keep them though.  You might wonder what's the point of making a resolution then; but for me, there's something about the energy surrounding the beginning of a new year--the hope, the possibility--that keeps me resolute in my resolution making each year.
