We're packing up and moving over to mypaleokitchen.com! I hope you'll change any bookmarks or RSS you might have and join me over there :) I'm very excited! It's a pretty new url and the new website gives me a lot of options for improvement. I'll stop talking, just go check it out!I'll be posting over there from now on, so this space will not get updated any longer. All the old posts moved with

People tend to get angry when you tell them that excercise will not make them lose wait. I’d probably get angry too if I spend 3+ hours a day doing zumba and god knows what else to get rid of that ‘belly fat’ and someone dared suggest I may have wasted a lot of time. They will inevitably come up with the calories in- calories out fable to help explain why you’re completely out of your mind making

Eggs is the easy go to food when you're looking for something easy to pack for lunch or to snack on. But they get boring. So here are 2 meat recipes that you can keep for a day or three and taste good cold or reheated. 99% paleo, because you don't want to go without the salt.Soft 'n juicy chicken- lots of chicken breasts- salt- herbs (any combination of paprika, curry, ginger, kurkuma,

Tonight I'm going out for dinner. Because I've been doing quite well on the nutrition front recently, I want to get through the evening without spoiling that. So I went looking for tips and ended up at "The primal blueprint guide to eating out". It didn't look very promising, with tip nr 3 being "Don't eat". Hell no, I eat out perhaps once every two months so I'm damn well going to enjoy it!

Even though my enthusiasm for fitness is still present, I haven't been diligently working on it. Sadly I have to report that I can't even do 10 push-ups anymore. My boyfriend on the other hand is more seriously working on this, so I've been making workouts for him. Because he does these workouts inside our tiny apartment it consists of prison style bodyweight exercises. I've even made him do

This morning my boyfriend woke me up with a breakfast in bed. He had spend his early hours browsing the web and came across this recipe at Mark's daily apple. A very cute surprise indeed! Too bad I can't really eat anything, let alone eggs, right after waking up...Ingredients (for 8 devils):- 4 hard boiled eggs- 1 avocado- 2 teaspoons hot sauce- 1 tsp lemon juice- salt & pepper to taste- 8 thin

Even as a kid I liked brussel sprouts. It's probably because my mother didn't turn them into soggy little green balls... Now I have many recipes for brussel sprouts. This is one of them. In the past I've only put recipes on this website that were a 100% paleo (before the tomato change anyway). No beans, dairy or salt. (Yet it wasn't always very low-carb). But I've not been eating that strict for

A week or two back I was food-shopping with my sister. I'm a big fan of food-shopping, and I can spend hours doing it. Probably explains why I only own one pair of shoes.. but I digress.So we were in the produce section planning to make a sweet and sour chicken salad when I spotted a kohlrabi. Of course I'd seen them before, but I'd never actually used it myself. After much begging, my sister who

Autumn has officially arrived. The weather is still in denial, but already there are some colder days. It's time to switch from eating salads 90% of the time to include some warmer food, like soup!Now that the USA has had some spinach scares, it's time to give this veggie some love. Here in Holland there are beautyfull local fresh crops in the store. I'll be sharing two spinach recipes, soup

Tjatjiki is a well known yoghurt based dip used in the Turkish and Greek kitchen. Because it's made with cucumber it's incredibly fresh yet it also has an insane amount of garlic. What more could you possibly want? Therefore it seemed like only the right thing to use it as inspiration for a paleo dip. As always, it's not going to taste anywhere like the real thing, but that's not the point!

Cooking vegetables without salt is not easy, just omitting it from recipes doesn't always work. Most of the time it will just come out pretty bland. I'm pretty used to eating without salt now, that's why I do a salt-test on new recipes;First test is my roommate, before he came to live with me he would not even taste his food before grabbing the salt-shaker. Now he'll at least do that, and a

Mushrooms aren't actually the main ingredient, but it's them that make this salad different for me. Most of the time I don't actually like mushrooms you see, so when I find a way to prepare them that is tasty- it's a little bit special ;)Lately I've started to use a bit of vinegar, just to mix things up. Not entirely paleo, I know- but I'll see how I feel. There were a lot of fancy vinaigrette's

This blog has been way too recipe deprived, so here is a recipe for a simple paleo and summer proof soup. It's a light soup and works wonders before a nice roast with salad or something like that. (Damn blogging always gives me cravings.)Ingredients;- 1 medium onion- 2 or 3 ripe tomatoes- 1 carrot- 2 small zucchini*- any kind of broth- oregano or mintChop your zucchini into a medium size, and

Half a year ago today, while drunk from two glasses of white whine and the first french fries with mayo I'd had in months, I made the first post on this blog. I'd toyed with the idea ever since reading prof. Cordain's book. That was somewhere this time last year, so I'm also dubbing today my anniversary for finding out about the paleo diet.This year has been full of bumps in the road. Because I

When you're browsing the net for weight-loss tips, one of the things you'll come across is to never use food as a reward. I disagree. In fact, rewarding yourself with food is possibly one of the most beneficial things you could do!Now, keep in mind I'm talking about healthy food. If I've been a very good girl (lol) I'll spoil myself with a piece of salmon, or some fresh wild spinach. When I've

This weekend I had my brother, his girlfriend and my friend Jop over for dinner. We had a good time. Unfortunately I was a bit distracted* by my company so I didn't take a close-up picture of the food.. Instead you can take a good look at these lovely people ;)Even though there is no good food pic, I'm still going to go ahead and share the recipe with you. It would be a crime to make you wait for

A question people often ask is what to eat for breakfast when you're following the paleo diet. People have said it before, but i'll just repeat; breakfast is like any other meal of the day. Just make sure there are vegetables and there's protein. As long as you're not having only fruit and nuts for breakfast*, you're on the right track!This is one of the meals I make quite often, for breakfast,

No picture here, just a link- I wrote a guest post for ModernForager.com and the author Scott Kustes decided to put it up, check it out here. What I like most about this whole thing is that Scott tried the salad before posting, which is awesome- It says a little something about the quality of Scott's blog and the care he puts into it.

This weekend the european football* championship started, and yesterday was Holland's first game. It was versus Italy, the current world champion. A friend invited me and a couple others over for a barbeque before watching the game, and we went dutch- everybody bringing their own food. So I made some shrimp shish kabob, since I'd wanted to post some of those here anyway.Ingredients (for 1 stick);

Pretty much the only bad thing I've got to say about prof. Cordain's book is that you'd almost have to be a freakin' millionaire to follow his weekly diet plan. Fresh blueberries everyday? Salmon, asparagus? Pffsh.On the other hand, I've argued with my friends that unless you're a very plain eater, cheap-paleo will be a lot more affordable than non-paleo. I probably safe a lot by simply not

Since peaches are back in season, I can finally share with you the very first paleo recipe I ever came up with. This is still a favourite and I've missed it soooo much while the peaches were unavailable. I've made it a lot for guests last summer (&today) and they all love it. Yes, I'm rather proud of it- please be gentle with my feelings ;)Ingredients (4 servings);- 4 peaches- 1 pakchoy- 2 onions

Though I haven't quite managed to convince my brother he should give paleo and evo fitness a shot, he did give me a very good recipe tip. It's great that it only uses 3 ingredients, but what's even better is that one of them is a spice I hadn't used before. I'll take any excuse to buy new spices and so should you ;)Ingredients ;- lean beef- zucchini- turmericUse twice as much zucchini than you do

Before I read about intermittent fasting* and other things on Prof. DeVany's website, packing food was an absolute disaster for me. Some days I am away from home at 6 in the morning and don't return 'till midnight. That's a lot of food to pack if you believe the whole '6 meals a day' thing. I actually always brought a second bag just for food...So if you're having problems with long days away

After eating a bit too much icecream in the summer last year, I wanted to get rid of the extra weight I put on. (Most people need to lose the winter weight, but with me it was the summer weight.) I'd always been very anti-diet, but when a friend loaned me his copy of prof. Cordain's book, I was intrigued. It just made sense to me.. So I gave it a shot.Although I made a lot of mistakes* in those

A friend asked me the other day why I don't update my blog more often. "You eat everyday, right? Surely you must have something to post!" He said. While he's got a good point there, hardly anything I eat I'd consider worth sharing the recipe. Or I already have shared it, I tend to eat something I like for a couple days sometimes weeks in a row and then I'm sick of it and move on to the next

A while back Aaron requested a recipe using fresh ginger. Since I had actually never used fresh ginger before I had to try a couple different things before finding something I liked; a mix of white cabbage and red pepper. Unfortunately though, the picture was way too dark. This 'Red Daikon' seemed like a good time to give the ginger another shot, and why not go with something I'd tried before?

After the last post I used the leftovers for this salad. Perhaps this is a bit of a no-brainer, but who knows- It might give some inspiration to someone. It was a nice salad, no dressing needed, lovely flavours. For those just starting out on a paleo diet (or similar) this could feel like more of a real meal then the cold salads do.With stir fry's you have to decide how big your 'leftover' is

Roel, who introduced me to the paleo diet, also taught me my first two* recipes- this goulash is one of them.Ingredients(for two);- 300 gr beef pieces- 50 gr bacon cubes- 2 handfulls of mushrooms- 2 red peppers- 3 onions- 5 cloves garlic- 1 small can thick tomato juice- 2 tomatoes- 2 cups beef broth- red pepper flakes- 5 cloves- laurel leavesThat's a big list hm?

Lately I've been toying with the idea to post about some of the exercise I get. The blog was started to share some ideas, perhaps inspire.. hopefully get some tips and feedback out of it myself. Should I limit it to food-related things, or expand it to EF-related things? I would have probably kept this whole thing in my head for a while longer because I'm a bit shy and I'm absolutely not sure

Maybe I need to start coming up with actual names for my recipes, because this does sound kind of lame..Anyway, to make this quick and easy one-pan meal for two people you will need;- half a cauliflower- half a winter carrot- 2 chicken breasts- 10/15 walnuts- curry powder (mild stuff)Until very recently I was under the impression that curry was always a pretty mild spice, but recently I bought it

A pretty classic salad. It's simple and it's pretty easy to eat, so bringing it for lunch is a good idea. The things I've got on me always are my phone, wallet, glasses and a spoon. So anything you can eat easily with a spoon scores extra with me!Ingredients (2 servings);- 1 cucumber- 2 or 3 tomatoes- 1 medium red onion- olive oil & lemon juiceOh yes, the olive oil and lemon juice again..

This is my favorite way to eat eggs. Very filling, flavourfull, colourfull, easy, fast and cheap. Only 3 ingredients used; Tomato, Spinach and 2 Eggs.Start with the tomatoes and spinach, let them soften up a bit before you add the eggs. Keep stirring until it's all cooked, you don't want the eggs to turn brownish. Use more spinach then you think you will need, as it will shrink.(Seems I like the

Click that photo if you like, it wasn't made with my phone-camera. Thank you Kelly for taking it!Broccoli and apple work really well together, especially with watercress. If you don't like watercress, which I've heard many don't, just substitute it with something else. But make sure you've tried watercress without all the stems. It's the stems that really put people off watercress, while if you

Though I've got a long list of recipes I'd like to share, I'm not willing to do it without pictures. There are no pictures right now because I am forced to live out of my pantry for the moment. Had some soup tonight I wouldn't even feed my worst enemy.. Well ok, that's exaggerated, but it was flavourless, so I won't be posting it here!This lovely photo from my archives is what I'll be sharing

Today I spoiled myself. Two of my most favorite foods, salmon and this lovely basil flavored side dish a friend taught me to make.Ingredients(for 1);- 2 tomatoes- 1 onion- 4 handfulls of spinach- all the fresh basil you can getStart by cutting up the onions in large chunks. Put them in a frying pan with some coconut oil, do they call it glazing? I think so. Well, next add your tomatoes, cut into

Another one of my lunches. There's some leftover beef slices. A bell pepper- they're so easy to eat without cutting them first. Just eat around the stem so you don't touch the seeds at all. You can also spot my garlic-olives..And ofcourse there's a salad. This is a really easy one; just mix up slices of red cabbage and apple, then generously drizzle it with olive oil and lemon juice.The best bit

Don't mind the corn in this picture, a friend cooked for me, and he tried really hard to make it paleo proof.. I guess Mark Sisson is right that most people don't get that corn is not a veggie :P Apart from that minor detail, this meal is absolutely delicious!Ingredients(for two);- 2 chicken breasts- 8 cloves garlic- 3 spoonfulls olive oil- thyme, oregano and basil- 2 tomatoes- 20 almonds (halved

Normally I'm not a big fan of making paleo-copy food.. if I'm craving something, a fake really isn't going to satisfy me! I also really don't want to advocate using any dietary guidelines as the excuse to just eat whatever and as much you want.. (can't say I don't ever do it though..)This lovely pudding isn't for either category however. Instead, it's the perfect finish for when you have guests

One more for the quick and easy categorie. Bacon cubes would not be my first choice for a healthy paleo meal, but it's not to bad for your wallet, very easy to use, and very tasty indeed. Hopefully though someday I'll post all about my first choices, a list does exist in my head, and a birthday is coming up.Ingredients*;- 1 cup of bacon cubes- 10 cherry tomatoes- 1 onion- 1 crop endiveFor speedy

This is a recipe for a simple tomato salad. I wouldn't have thought to put it on here, because to me it seems so regular. But ofcourse, just because I have eaten this since I was a little kid, doesn't mean everyone else knows it. Well, to be honest I always used to have it with mayonaise instead of mustard, but this is way better.Ingredients;- a bag of salad- 2 medium tomatoes- mustard powder-

Today was one of those days I really couldn't be bothered with cooking. So many deadlines to meet and things on my mind that I didn't really want to take time to eat, but couldn't think straight because of hungry-ness either. Eggs are the perfect quick fix.This particular version of an omelet is especially usefull, and I often make it when I couldn't get out of bed and need something quick to eat

Ever since I started taking an interest in evolution based eating, my mother has been very supportive. Tonight I had dinner at her place, and it was such a nice example of how it can be combined with 'regular' diets, that I thought I'd make a post about it. So no actual recipe tonight, sorry!This first picture on the right is a fruit salad for me (pomegranate, appel, banana & orange if I remember

Yumm.Ingredients(serves 2);- 1 fennel bulb- 4 handfulls of rucola salad mix*- a pomegranate- 2 teaspoons mustard- 1 teaspoon honey- a good splash of lemon juiceFirst make the dressing by mixing up the bottom 3 ingredients in a small bowl.Cut the fennel into really thin slices, this makes for a better taste combination.

One of the keys to eating the paleo-way, or something similar, is packing your lunches. On the road or in the school cafetaria it's impossible to find a salad without either breadcrumbs, cheese or corn. Unless you're willing to pay more than 6 euro's.. and to be honest, even if I was loaded, I'd still not want to spend my money that way.Back when I first started I wish someone had told me how to

Another paleo vegetable recipe today. It took me some experimenting to find a beetroot dish I liked without added sugar.Speaking of experimenting, I'm currently trying to find a way to make this cheap frozen coalfish taste good. Hence another load of that today- no success so far unfortunately.Note; while this recipe is all about the beetroot, I'll add ingredients and pricing for the things to go

There are plenty of vegetable recipes on the net. Unfortunately even when they're not in some sort of cream saus or spiced up with lots of cheese, they will probably involve a lot of salt. I'm not 100% strictly salt-less but use it too much and you destroy your taste buds. Which is a real shame, as a lot of veggies have a great taste just by themselves. This recipe nicely combines those great

Although I absolutely love cooking, sometimes it's nice to just get it over and done with quickly. Especially when you're in a hurry. This meal is definately quick and easy, including only having to wash 1 pan.I'm not one for measuring things. I happened to have 4 tomatoes with some bad spots, which is fine - just cut it out. If you have 2 large ones it would work too. If you happen to have a can

As you might have guessed, I like stuffing things. It just makes for nice presentation. What I also like are meals you can take to work/school for lunch. This recipe qualifies.Ingredients;- 3 tomatoes- 1 can of tuna- 1 small onion- 1/4 bell pepper- some dried basilStart by cleaning out the tomatoes, just slice off the top and scoop the insides into a bowl.
