ACL: Eating Guide
Eating with me is a challenge, I will freely admit. I want free-range happy meat, chicken, milk, and eggs. I don’t want white bread, I probably don’t want whole wheat bread, I definitely don’t want corn (unless it’s a tortilla chip) or beans or soy. I don’t want fake sugar, or agave, or real sugar…

Paleo Cookies Recipe
Last weekend, one of my dearest friends (non-paleo, non-crossfitting) texted me asking for a paleo cookie recipe. What?! I was super excited. She said that she was baking for her mother-in-law, who eats mostly paleo for health reasons … yes! I sent her the following email: Here is my all-time fave paleo chocolate chip cookie…

Aspen: Well hello Matsuhisa, nice to meet you
The holy grail of Aspen food is UNarguably Matsuhisa. As in celeb-heavyweight Nobu’s little pet sister restaurant, the one Chef Nobu only opened for fun.
