Lemongrass Chicken & Zoodles {Paleo, Low FODMAP}
I love lemongrass. It’s so refreshing, earthy, light. It’s one of my favorite flavors out there actually… and mixed with a smidgen of ginger, cilantro, and lime, it’s divine. Divine I tell you. That’s why I adore this Lemongrass Chicken served over zoodles (zucchini noodles).
3 Easy Steps to Transition Your Family to Paleo
When people first hear about the Paleo diet, it sounds intimidating. No grains? What’ll I eat for breakfast? No dairy? Are you kidding?

For The Love Of Tubers
Dr. Paul Jaminet, PhD shares a post defending tubers. Why, you ask, would tubers need defending? Mostly because of the low-carb phenomenon. Dr. Paul believes that real, nourishing starches are a healthy part of the ancestral diet of most humans. (And, of course, he’s right!)
The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, And Sustainability
After living a vegan lifestyle for nearly twenty years, author Lierre Keith nearly destroyed her health. Her body’s basic structure was caving in slowly, she was cold nine months out of the year, and she couldn’t produce a baby if the future of the species depended on it. “Pain was the inhabitant of my body, and I was only the shadow it cast,” she said.
Ultimately, she had to abandon her veganism. She had been convinced that the vegetarian ethic would save her health, the hungry, and the world. Yet this virtuous diet left her chronically exhausted, depressed, and sick. Her ideology had blinded her.
GMOs A Thing Of The Past, Artisan Butchers, Laughs, & More
Ah, another Thursday, another post full of delectable links you’ll want to enjoy!
This week’s line up features some of the most interesting articles I’ve ever read touching on politically incorrect nutrition, disappearing real food traditions, and the coming shift in biotechnology agriculture research. Considering how thought-provoking and heavy those posts were, I decided to throw in a laugh (thanks to The Onion) and a tasty recipe to balance it all out.
Hope you enjoy!
Fight Back Fridays May 8th
Well, fellow Food Renegades, it’s that time of the week yet again! We are bringing together another collection of recipes, tips, anecdotes, and testimonies — each from a lover of Real Food. It’s my personal hope that Fight Back Fridays will continue to unite many of us coming from within different circles of the Real Food Revolution.
Who are the members of the Real Food Revolution? Why, they’re the Food Renegades. You know who you are — lovers of SOLE (Sustainable, Organic, Local, and Ethical) food, traditional food, primal food, the list goes on. I believe that by joining together, our influence can grow, and we can change the way America (and the industrialized world) eats!
So, let’s have some fun.
