Yes. This tastes as good as it looks. Tender pieces of pork, drenched in cilantro and pineapple juice, and grilled to perfection. Throw in some pineapple chunks and a few bell peppers and you’ve got… Read more → from The Gracious Pantry http://ift.tt/2uHELcI

It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here . I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading! Like many other Mark’s Daily Apple readers, I spent most of my life with my eye on the destination or goal and, for the most part, ignored the journey. I can’t say that this approach was a bad one as I had been chugging along for fifty years having moderate success achieving my education, career and personal goals. I applied the same goal orientation to weight management/exercise and would consistently hit the goals (ex. target weights, miles run, etc.) I set but seemed to never get healthier as things would fall apart when I achieved the goal I set. After multiple successful diet and exercise campaigns over the years followed by returning ...

Sweet, tangy and conveniently bite-sized, cherries are one of the most reliable treats of summer. Beginning in June and ending in late August, the cherry season outlasts that of the other stone fruits and berries at the market. That’s because there are dozens of varieties that ripen at different times, ensuring a plentiful supply all summer long. Unlike peaches or nectarines, cherries are always sold tree-ripened, meaning that you’ll never have to sit around waiting for just the right moment to eat them. Sweet cherries range from golden with a tinge of red to deep purple and nearly black. The most popular variety is the Bing, but other common types include the Rainier, Brooks, Sweetheart and Queen Anne. The most popular sour, or tart cherry is the http://ift.tt/2tJZVnQ , which is harder to find fresh and is often made into juice, or sold frozen and canned. Happily, cold-tolerant cherries are grown in many regions of the country, from the Northwest and upper Midwest to the East coast...

^^What is Mazen’s tongue doing here!?! Here’s a little peek into our lives from yesterday : ) I had overnight oats made with cinnamon and blueberries for breakfast. Blueberries are so darn good right now! I took Mazey to camp, which is a half day this week. I worked on a Quaker recipe post for August (a tropical smoothie bowl that I can’t wait to share!) all morning. For lunch, Thomas surprised us with smoked salmon bagels from Bodos! I picked Mazen up after lunch and we went swimming at the Waterpark. And let me tell you about my new pool bag! My mom has a Scout bag as her beach bag and had me eyeing them while we were on Bald Head. These bags are all the rage on the island, but they were out of the largest version with all the pockets that I wanted in the shop there, so I had to order mine on Amazon when I got home. It’s the Scout – The BJ bag , and it’s been so great to tote to the pool. In addition to the large main pocket, it has two looser pockets on the front and t...

Note: Many of you have written to me wondering about my newfound obsession with CrossFit. I’m responding to a steady stream of requests from CFers who want to do Primal but have been led to believe that the two are incompatible. Even if you have no interest in CrossFit, understand that much of the advice contained in this series also applies to people following a different training path. As much as CrossFitters claim to concern themselves primarily with increasing physical performance and work capacity across broad modal domains, they also want to lose body fat. There’s nothing wrong or superficial about that, mind you. Excess body fat is unnecessary and, depending on the quantity and location , dangerous to your long-term health . It also impedes performance, acting as dead weight. We have every reason to want to lose body fat. CrossFit is well-known for leaning people out. But there’s also a small but significant portion of people who struggle to lose body fat despite—or perhaps b...

I love okra! Although its texture is often named as a dislike, it’s actually my favorite part. The little bit of slime (for lack of a better word…) reminds me of chia seeds. Plus I love the okra flavor. My very old recipe for Better Than Fried Okra remains my favorite way to prepare the vegetable. Although sometimes I just grill or roast up a batch of whole pods and eat them like fries!  We brought home a huge box of leftovers from our dinner at Old City BBQ,  and I bought some okra to make as a side. Imagine my surprise when I realized we were all out of cornmeal! So I improvised and decided to try the recipe with panko instead. Turned out quite nice — and extra crunchy! Just like the old recipe , I dipped the okra pieces in egg mixed with a splash of milk, and then rolled them in the panko, which was first seasoned with pinches of smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt. The pieces went on a sheet pan covered in parchment paper and baked at 375 degree...

Hi, guys! How’s it going? It’s been quite the whirlwind summer for us. We had three  back-to-back vacations, which, obviously, were a blast, but, whoa, we need a vacation from our vacations! If you have little kids, I feel like you totally know what I mean – staying up late, having a few cocktails, lots of laughs, but then waking up with the sun! Oy. Let’s just say, we had some FULL DAYS on vacation. Anywayyyyyyy, it’s time for the next edition of  What I’m Loving Lately ! I’ve missed a few weeks, so I have quite the round-up for you this morning! My Instant Pot – Omggggg, best purchase ever! I’m a little late to the Instant Pot craze, but it’s truly life-changing. It’s basically a fast crock-pot that works like magic. I made shredded chicken in 15 minutes and potatoes in 11! In fact, I love my instant pot so much, I actually rearranged all of our kitchen cabinets the other day to give it its own home since I’m going to need easy access to it all the time no...
