100% raw, natural, healthy – Paleo Cooking! No glutens, no dairy.

What a simple idea! Gluten free, dairy free and preservative free eating all from foods readily available in any store and even in nature. In fact the author refers to it as “eating for the 21st century hunter/gatherer”.

“The paleo diet is a natural, utterly-simple way of eating that promotes dramatic health benefits and weight loss results you will never achieve from any other diet, weight loss program or fad diet you have or haven’t yet come across.” I know Myra, and many of her regular readers, have found diet solutions that work. For years I have encouraged everyone to eat foods that not only provide sound nutritional values but also elevate and regulate your body’s on metabolism.

After connection with the author I decided to partner and make this available to readers here in in other places I write because I believe in these foods. In fact this is not a “diet” plan. It can, however, be used with many diet plans including my own. I need to be gluten free and Myra needs to be dairy free or at least watch her dairy intake.


Gluten free, dairy free, preservative free! Diet cook books glutens dairy preservative free

Gluten free, dairy free, preservative free!


For me glutens can be either a little discomforting or painful enough to take my joy. Having over 300 recipes to help both Myra and me avoid glutens and dairy is a real blessing. Being able to sleep without cramps from eating gluten rich foods makes my life much more enjoyable!


Anyway I have never participated in a “referral sale” program until this but these recipes are fantastic and help me avoid the foods I need to be aware of and still cook great tasting meals.

One thing I found very important to our readers is there is No Risk to your purchase as the author is providing you a 3 month, 100% money back satisfaction guarantee if you purchase today. If within this period you are not cooking delicious paleo friendly meals, the author will refund you in full!

If you, like I, need a gluten free diet or like Myra you need a dairy free diet I think this is worth a try. At least go check out the page – it’s a little hoaky looking page but the product is well worth it in my opinion. Yes, I get a little if you buy the set but I’m writing about them all over because it is not easy to find great diet recipe books like these with the right kind of meals for my needs.

Potato skins have more vitamins. Or do they?

Image via Wikipedia

“Eat the skins they are full of vitamins,” my mom used to say. Likely it is your parents or someone in your young life said the same to you. Now that I am older, much older, I heard it again today from my wife Myra. Do potato skins really have more vitamins? Let’s see …

It is no secret potatoes are a good source of potassium. In fact a medium baked potato contains 926 mg of potassium which is higher than almost every other American vegetable except chard and lima beans. In fact we often think “eat a banana” when thinking of potassium intake but a medium baked potato contains double the amount of potassium as a medium banana.?Avocados contain more potassium than bananas! Potassium is probably potatoes’ greatest contribution to your body.

Potassium is essential for good heart function. Heart function is important – at least mine is. It also helps the body regulate blood pressure. Oddly enough that affect is somewhat nullified when the potatoes are fried and not baked.

But of all the vitamins and minerals, vitamin C being the most?prevalent?vitamin?in potatoes, is it true they are more concentrated in the skin than in the meat?

According to Potatoes.com and the Washington Potato Grower’s Association, “Despite the popular notion,?the majority of nutrients are not found in the skin, but in the potato itself. Nonetheless, leaving the skin on the potatoes retains all the nutrients, the fiber in the skin and makes potatoes easier to prepare.”

There you have it boys and girls! The skins are just like the potatoes but with more fiber.

Taste Test! Sugar Free Maple Syrups

PhotobucketWhen you want syrup you really want something that tastes like what we call syrup. For this installment Myra takes a quick tour of a few name brand sugar free syrups. Since she is not a food professional nor is she paid or sponsored by anyone these are her real time comments.

If you have another suggestion for a sugar free syrup Myra would love to have your opinion and the name of the syrup, too. Just leave it in the comments section at the bottom of the page or use the Contact page to let her know.

Have other ideas for taste tests for Myra? I happen to know she loves a taste test about as well as anything else foodly.

There is nothing like warm cheese dip con jalapenos and toasty fresh tortilla chips on a chilly evening to warm ones soul. Pair that with a spicy cilantro spiked salsa and cool it back down with an icy drink and Viva Mexico! Basics like beans and rice, and sizzling fajitas and fried ice cream sure boosts morale any season, anyone, anywhere.

This is more than a meal it is an entertainment and cultural experience. A new meaning to the word fresh with endless sides. Be adventurous and start off with an enormous sized appetizer the Korean-style pancake pa jeon with seafood and scallion is served on a sizzling iron platter. It is a tasty pancake-omelette that is stuffed with squid, oysters and loads of tasty green onions chives and herbs.

Then go to the seafood stew with egg. It comes out of the kitchen in a stoneware pot and boils done right in front of you, the server cracking a fresh brown egg into the sizzling stew. Truly authentic Korean BBQ available too with seven of their tables fitted with built-in grills and large overhead fans for parties of two or more who wish to cook their own fresh selections and served in beautiful stoneware.

Such a Jerk!

Please give me a THUMBS UP at the bottom of my review on facebook No Reservations: Hungry for More inspired by Anthony Bourdain and The Travel Channel.

Caribbean food includes all of your favorites??seafood, chicken and steak??prepared with the flavorful and colorful ingredients of the islands. Some popular dishes are coconut shrimp, jerk chicken pasta, chicken kabobs, ribs with guava BBQ sauce and Key Lime Pie.

bbcfb

Food plays a central role in family life and traditions in the islands. Cooks spend days preparing menu offerings for holidays, festivals, and special family gatherings. The cuisine of the Caribbean is like a cultural patchwork quilt. Each ??patch?? or dish represents the plentiful bounty of the islands’ lush tropical vegetation, combined with the one or more diverse groups of people that have lived there, including the original Carib and Arawak Indians, followed by the Spanish, British, French, and Dutch settlers, as well as Africans, who have had a profound influence on the food and cultural traditions of the islands. Later followed Indian and Chinese settlers, and travelers from the United States.

Try these on for size. Habanero Wings: Crisply fried and tossed in a spicy habanero pepper barbecue sauce. Bahamian Grilled Chicken Kabobs: Wood-grilled chicken breast, fresh mushrooms, onions, peppers and squash served over yellow rice.Cuban Sandwich: With ham, roast pork, salami, Swiss cheese, with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, hot-pressed on Cuban bread. Chocolate Island: Rich chocolate mousse on a fudge brownie Island in milk chocolate sauce and vanilla bean anglaise.

I could live here. This place really exists. I’ve seen it with the whites of my own eyes. As seen on The Travel Channel, the world famous MUSEO del JAMON or loosely translated ‘Ham Museum’ you just gotta see and smell it for yourself. This was THE kobe beef LONG before kobe-style beef became popular with acorn and hazelnut free range grazing. When in Madrid eat and drink like the Madrilenos. Feel free to move about the country.
