Things I’m Up to and Interested In

News I’m pleased to announce: Primal Kitchen® took first place in several categories of Paleo Magazine’s annual “Best of” awards, including Best New Product (our ketchup and mustard), Best Paleo Food Company, and Best Paleo Lifestyle Company. Thanks, everybody!

Podcast I enjoyed: The story of the man who survived incurable brain cancer.

Question I’m Asking

Recipe Corner

• Joe’s Special Frittata is actually pretty simple but still very special.

Time Capsule

• Mark’s Resistance Band Workout at Home– My real basic, real quick way to workout in a pinch.
• Alcohol While Keto?– Good idea?

Comment of the Week

“The parking lot at Target is on a slight hill so I park at the bottom, and then I can ride the shopping cart like a scooter all the way back down to my car. I’m going to be 61 soon.
Joy and delight!”

– That’s the spirit, Jen!
