It’s definitely that time of year! Time for family, friends and pie. Lots and lots of pie. I know, all in moderation, right? But still. Pie. So today I’ve invited clean eating bloggers from around… Read more → from The Gracious Pantry http://ift.tt/2hdgBle

2016 is just about over. I’m not a big party animal, as you probably know. Instead of bashes and balls, what I look forward to most of all at the end of a year is the quiet reflection on what impacted me most . Which science developments, business achievements, and thought evolutions characterized my 2016 more than the rest? Put another way, what were the most exciting developments of 2016 in the ancestral health world? Let’s take a look (in no particular order): 1. Legumes went back on the menu, if you like them. It’s become quite clear that legumes do not belong in the same category as grains, which is where they languished for over a decade. Legumes are rich in prebiotic fiber, provide many vitamins and minerals, and seem to improve glucose control, not worsen it. Eat ’em if you want ’em. 2. A Primal ranch dressing finally came out. You don’t know how many emails I got asking for a Primal-friendly ranch. Recipes have always been there, but a surprising number of ingredie...

The holidays are flowing with food and drink, but Christmas dinner is the ultimate over-the-top meal os the season. Although you should enjoy delicious food at your Christmas feast, you don’t need to feel bloated and have indigestion at the end of the night. Certain dishes, however, rack up the calories more than others. Here are the seven worst calorie offenders at the Christmas table.

If you’re a heavy cream fan, know that it adds 50 extra calories per tablespoon. If you like your eggnog spiked, add about 150 calories per 1 1/2 fluid ounces. When all is said and done, you’re talking more like over 500 calories a drink. Instead try: Food Network Kitchen’s Low-Fat Eggnog Prime Rib Ribs just scream calories, with one serving of prime rib (about six to eight ribs) providing over 1,600 calories. Many folks can easily d...

Good morning!! Now that was a nice little breakfast : ) Coffee, toast, berries & eggs! A topic I have been meaning to write about for a while is the realization that the lifestyle of motherhood is ever-changing. When Mazen was a newborn and in the baby years after that, my mom’s group would meet up almost every afternoon. We would talk and breastfeed and hold our babies while they slept. We shared tips and supported one another. As an extrovert, those days with my friends saved me from long hours without adult interaction. We had such a glorious time, and it never crossed my mind that we were in a temporary phase of motherhood that would come to an end. When our children started to crawl and walk (and second babies were born), the frequency of playdates started to wane. As much as we tried to keep the crumbs off the floor and the toy fights at bay, it just became a big commitment for someone to open their home to 10 wild kids. Things got broken...
