Fagan Eats Paleo Product Review: Exo Paleo Protein Bars with Cricket Flour

Exo Protein Bars with Cricket Flour

I have so many recipes that are just floating around in my brain and not enough time get them down and photographed.  Some things I've got in the works are a simple duck confit, seared duck breast with fig sauce, and lemon butter shrimp over spaghetti squash with a broccoli/cauli puree "pesto" sauce.  I'm finding that eating duck is giving me tons of energy.  I always feel great after I have it, so I'm trying to incorporate more of it into my diet.  I'm so looking forward to getting these recipes down and onto the blog!  

Fagan Eats Paleo Recipe: Mussels in a Thai Style Broth

The inspiration for this dish came from a restaurant that my boyfriend and I frequent. Sound like a familiar theme?  Haha. Yep.  I love trying new things and then trying to recreate them at home.  Anyway, this restaurant serves the best mussels in a coconut milk and lemongrass broth. So, yummy!  So, I thought I'd give it a go at home.  

Jamie's Thoughts: The Girl with the Blue Plastic Mitt

Have you ever tried to remember the exact moment you started to define yourself?  That instant when you "knew" you were decidedly one thing and not something else.  It's hard to remember, isn't it? I know I can't remember.  But at some point, I decided I was not an athletic person.  That definition dictated a whole host of choices in my life.  However, my recent experience in joining a boot camp has turned everything I thought I knew about myself upside down.  

Jamie's Thoughts: What to do When You're Sick on Paleo

Comfort foods you normally eat when sick and have a fever aren't Paleo.  Saltine crackers.  Nope. Chicken noodle soup.  Nah.  Not that either.  Even orange juice and ginger ale don't work on Paleo. While bacon might be wonderful for adding flavor to so many dishes, it isn't something you'd want to eat when you are in the throes of a raging, appetite -suppressing fever.  So, just what should you eat when you are sick and trying to stay Paleo?    

Jamie's Thoughts: Paleo is a Journey, Not a Destination

I thought I had most of it figured out.  I'd done the elimination phase of Paleo many times and then re-introduced foods.  I thought I knew.  You know?

Jamie's Thoughts: I Gained and Lost Weight Eating Paleo -- What Gives?!

I'm not ashamed to admit that I came to Paleo to lose weight. I did.  But I stayed for the nutrient-dense, healthy, happy, super energy-filled lifestyle it affords me.  I feel great.  But--I did not lose weight on Paleo, at least not at first.

Fagan Eats Paleo Recipe: Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies with Banana Flour

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies Made with Banana Flour!  Yum!  

I always like to share my inspiration for a recipe.   This banana flour cookie recipe came about because I don't tolerate almond flour well.  I've made Against All Grain's Real Deal Chocolate Chip Cookies many times.  And they are delicious, but it's always apparent to me that nut flour does not work for me.  Plus, I could never get the cookies to come out to a smooth texture using the nut flour.  And so, I decided to create a recipe of my own.
