Kale
Ham hocks: from traditional German cuisine to American “soul-food”, they add some real smokey flavour to greens and soups and qualify as a definite comfort food. Hocks are cut from the ankle joint of a pig, and are sometimes referred to as knuckles. Smoked and cured versions are available from certain organic butchers, and you may find fresh ones as well.
Whole eggs are a staple of the paleo diet. I love them, and rarely get bored of fixing or eating them. I’ll eat them boiled, fried, baked, scrambled, poached and even raw. A great source of inexpensive protein, they also contain all the carbs, fat and micronutrients necessary to nourish developing chicks – meaning they’re nature’s perfect food.
If you’re struggling to find new ways to prepare eggs in the morning, try this simple kale and pear omelette.
When I went into work this week, I didn’t expect to find a real farmers’ market set up in our office building lobby. Nevertheless, that’s just what I found this Wednesday afternoon: vendors selling organic farm produce, fruit, eggs, local cheeses and honey, traditionally raised pastured meats, and fresh fish. Apparently, my employer has arranged for an on-site weekly farmers’ market during the summer months and I think it’s one of the best and forward-thinking perks I’ve seen to date! This is ultra-convenience in a busy world. I’m planning to come armed weekly with cloth bags, a cooler bag lined with ice, and enough cash to stock up
