Instant Pot Oxtail Stew

Image
People don’t talk about oxtail stew these days, but it’s a true Primal-worthy classic. With an arguably richer taste than beef and more succulent feel when cooked for stew or soup, oxtail might just become a new favorite. But the real difference (and reason behind the appealing stewed texture) is the ample connective tissue—an incredible source of collagen for the benefit of skin, hair, joint health , performance and more. (Since we used bone broth here in lieu of water or regular stock, this recipe is one of the best you can make for collagen content.) You’ll enjoy warming up with this gelatinous, flavorful and hearty dish on a late winter night. And you might consider making an extra batch: it tastes even better the next day. Time In the Kitchen: 25 minutes (plus cook time) Servings: 4 Ingredients: 2 pounds grass-fed oxtail 1 1/4 cup beef bone broth 1/4 cup Primal Kitchen® Barbecue Sauce 1 lb. small red potatoes (about 6), cut into bite-size pieces 4 large carrots, cut ...

“Everyone Loves CAVA” + GIVEAWAY

Image
Hi, friends! We’re at that point in winter when I’m so OVER IT. We got a few random glimpses of nice weather in February, which made me think maybe we’d get an early Spring, but now we’re getting dumped on by snowstorm after snowstorm. March is always such a blah month because it drags on and on with winter. Wahhhh. I’m sorry to start this post with such a buzz kill, but I promise to turn it around with a fun CAVA giveaway! 🙂 Example A of how over winter I am: Holy salt on my car! Quinn actually thought it was bird poop and didn’t want to touch my car. Haha! That’s how bad it was! Of course, we immediately headed to the car wash. After that, it was time for swim lessons at Goldfish! When we were waiting for Quinn’s lesson to start, he saw a highchair tray on the floor. He asked me to “take a photo for Dada” and then proceeded to run and jump over it. Ha! He thought the photo below was so cool! Swim lessons went really well, and Quinn is learning to turn over onto his back m...

We did it. Feeding You Lies is an INSTANT bestseller

Image
I’ve got great news. My new book  Feeding You Lies  is an INSTANT bestseller despite the opposition. This is the book people were scared to touch… The publisher of my first book passed on publishing it, I had another publisher back out of offering me a deal because they were concerned the information would affect their “ad accounts”. The book was rejected by major retailers like Costco. A store, that sold over 2000 copies of my first book but suddenly the sales weren’t good enough. The mainstream media ghosted us – This happened over and over again. A journalist would reach out, write an article, and their editors would get cold feet – and it would hit the chopping block without getting published. Or a big show like Dr. Oz would put in an urgent request – their producer would be so excited to have me on and promote the book, then suddenly I’d get a message like this in my inbox – “Unfortunately, I just received word that we are taking the segment in a different dire...

Marching Onward

Image
It’s Friday. It’s MARCH. Which means we are marching toward spring and summer and beach trips and playing outside and long warm days. I never want to wish away life, but February…..is just the worst. I’m glad it’s over! We have one month until our spring break trip to the Florida Keys. Hoping for some warm Virginia days in between. (We will probably get two feet of snow.) Breakfasts ^^ I tried the hazelnut + chocolate smoothie and loved it. Speaking of the beach, I am reading  Where The Crawdads Sing and loving it. I’m still early on in the book, but the imagery and characters had me hooked from the get-go. Leftover white chocolate chip pancake (Mazen’s favorite) with banana and PB. Staple breakfast this week! Loving The Treadmill LOVING my new treadmill !!!! And the iFit workouts. I am working on a whole big post for you guys. The free delivery and assembly via Amazon went very smoothly, and I am so happy with both my choice to get a new one and the model I chose. ...

The Friday 5

Image
Hi, friends! We made it to Friday! Hooray!! I felt like this week really dragged, but now the weekend is so close, I can taste it! 🙂 Speaking of which, we have a fun weekend planned – starting with swim lessons at Goldfish followed by a Quinn and Mumma CAVA date for lunch. We’re both obsessed! 🙂 So, on Saturday, Mal has a school activity, so Quinn and I are going to visit the “old gym” (aka CrossFit). Quinn has actually brought up the old gym a few times in recent weeks, saying that he wants to visit. I guess he misses his CrossFit friends like we miss ours. I’m definitely looking forward to working out and seeing friends on Saturday. It’s been WAY too long! After CrossFit, we need to take Murphy for a check up at the vet. He has an ulcer on one of his eyes that’s just not healing. We’re trying a stronger eye drop and antibiotics, so, hopefully, he receives a clean bill of health. On Saturday night, we have plans with friends. On Sunday, Papi and Lori are coming to babysit Quinn...
