So much excitement for food trucks! Aspen is jam-packed with amazing, talented people. As is Austin, so it’s no surprise that two talented Aspen women made their way from the mountain town to the state capitol. This might not be all that exciting except that I KNOW them! I was thrilled to get a press…

Meanwhile, in Austin … F1, H&M, and free food
As the former thisislifeinaustin, I still get a fair amount of Austin news, and I often wish I was in town for the fun. Despite the fact that my 10-year high school reunion is next week (what?! and does that warrant its own post??), I won’t be coming home til December. However, were I in…
Butternut Squash Lasagna Cups
I finally made a recipe I’d been wanting to make for awhile: butternut squash lasagna cups, from Pinterest. I like lasagna, but I don’t love it like I love pizza. But it has a lot of the same elements, so you’d think I’d love it just as much … anyway, I haven’t spent much time…

Surprising Success: Seafood Sausages
While searching foodily.com for a recipe for shrimp and scallops, I stumbled upon this: Seafood Sausage with Miso Mustard Recipe Although it is paleo, I wasn’t looking for a paleo recipe, but it intrigued me. So I made it. Basically you food-processor a bunch of seafood, roll it into cabbage (the hardest part, and I…
“I eat better than you.”
Awesome conversation overheard today after yoga: Woman 1: “You have the most amazing back, what do you do?” Amazing Back Woman: “This [yoga] and my diet.” Woman 1: “What? I guarantee I eat better than you.” Amazing Back Woman: “Nope, it’s all in the diet.” Woman 1: “I eat better than you. You eat meat.”…
I have decided I think about food too much
I spent this weekend with a new set of friends. A non-Paleo-eating, non-CrossFitting set of friends, who I watched consume foods I haven’t even considered eating for years. YEARS. Maybe ever. (Powdered donuts? Slurpees?) I’m certainly not judging, and they didn’t judge me for my eating habits (gotta love them for that), but it is interesting…
Sign the Petition for House Bill 1830 to Protect Raw Milk
We know I love it, drink it, and support it. I wrote about it here, here, and here. Today, Dr. Mercola published a very long but very interesting and important article on raw milk: click here to read it. He argues that as important as access to raw milk is for itself, it’s more important…
Raw Milk Update: The FDA’s Response
Dear Madame: Thank you for writing to the FDA to express your views concerning the agency’s recent enforcement action against Rainbow Acres Farm in Kinzers, Pennsylvania. In taking this action, FDA was fulfilling its mandate under federal law passed by Congress which prohibits the sale of unpasteurized milk in U.S. commerce. This decades-old prohibition is based on…
Soapbox: Raw Milk is Awesome for You
To: consumer@fda.gov To whom it may concern: I’d like to voice my support for Amish farmer Dan Allgyer, who was the subject of a recent FDA “bust.” I wholeheartedly disapprove of the FDA’s interference with voluntary, private contracts between farmers and private citizens. It is a waste of my tax dollars to “bust” farmers…
