Navigating the Grocery Store on a Budget

You might have heard the rumor that going Primal or paleo is expensive. Yes and no. The truth is, I do spend considerably more on groceries now than I did in my pre-Primal days. However, that’s mostly because I pay more for grass-fed, pastured, and organic options when possible, which isn’t mandatory. I choose to allocate a hefty chunk of my monthly budget to food, but I’m not convinced that eating Primally has to be way more expensive than a typical grain-based diet. Not in the big picture, anyway.

If you're exploring a Primal-minded lifestyle, you probably believe, as I do, that nutritious, high-quality food is an investment in your health. The money you spend now will hopefully save you money on future medical bills. The immediate savings can be impressive, too.

Still, I know the theoretical future savings don’t necessarily help when you’re looking at the balance in your checking account today. Never fear, there are ways to make your dollar stretch while still avoiding grains, sugar, and dodgy oils.

The Art of Boredom: How to Get the Most Out of It

When I was bored, I learned to navigate the rugged coasts of the tiny Maine fishing village I called home. I figured out how to make money mowing lawns and painting houses. I discovered my athletic potential and set the stage for my eventual career in health and fitness. I didn’t have any choice—there weren’t any video games, iPads, or streaming media networks to distract me. Looking back, I realize that my extreme boredom was a gift. 

Much “boredom” is actually just restlessness. It’s feeling like you should be doing something. Rather than boredom, it’s actually guilt. You feel bad about being idle and can’t accept that doing nothing may actually have value and merit. But since you can’t think of something productive to do, you flounder. The trick is accepting the idleness for what it is without ascribing value judgements: Sometimes there’s just nothing to do and that’s okay.

How can you get the most out of downtime?

An uncelebrated holiday, a special day to celebrate those you love, or a chance for kids to trade heart-shaped chocolates and candies with colorful cards, Valentine’s Day happens each year no matter your relationship status. Even if you’re single on Valentine’s Day, you can choose to celebrate self-love and self-care by cooking an easy but gourmet meal to cap off the day.

Avoid overpriced dine-in or take-out restaurant Valentine’s Day dinner menus and treat yourself to our three-course home-cooked dinner ideas on Valentine’s Day. Our date-night dinner menu starts with a simple, classic Caesar salad, followed by a keto-friendly cauliflower risotto with pink sauce and sliced steak. It finishes with homemade chocolate cookie dough ice cream. Wine and red roses are optional.
