My new favorite salad, full of flavor and health. One of my favorite things is a cold refreshing salad with light ingredients, and adding something steaming to it.
Avocado Kimchi Salad
Voila.
Amazeballs!
I always buy too many apples. Always. I also don’t let food go to waste, therefore, I end up with lots of soft apples. They’re great for cooking, baking and sometimes even salads.
Apple Egg Scramble
Start by melting 1 TBSP of ghee in a pan, and add the red onion. Saute until they begin to turn transparent. Add the chopped basil and 3 eggs and continue scrambling until eggs are almost cooked. Toss the diced apple in, stirring until it’s warm, but stays crunchy. Top with blue cheese crumbles and a sprinkle of truffle salt.
Don’t worry soft apple, I still love you.
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.

I walk everywhere, and then some. I absolutely love walking and I rarely go a day without doing it. It has become a drug for me, and helps keep me balanced. If I have stuff going on during the weeknight, I still go walking by the time I make it home even if I am tired, because it’s that important for me. If I only have 15 minutes, I still go – because that 15 minutes of fresh air is priceless. I’ve been thinking lately what am I going to do if/when we have to leave San Diego where I can’t walk outdoors year around?
A couple added bonuses: regular walking greatly helps with maintaining weight, and if you’ve lost weight, helps keep it off over long periods of time; it’s less impact on your body, all around (joints, stress response, etc.); and a major added bonus, it keeps my blood sugar (having type 1 diabetes) stable with consistent insulin sensitivity. Major wins!
I was downloading my Garmin this morning and decided to look and see how many miles I’ve walked so far this year: 545.37 miles. Holy hell! Guess I really do love it.
The best holiday finger food ever. Or just the best year-round finger food ever. It’s always the first thing 100% gone, guaranteed.
Pig Candy
Mix coconut sugar and cayenne pepper (we don’t measure, so more = spicier, obvi) in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Coat both sides of each slice of bacon in the mixture, and lay flat on an aluminum foil covered cookie sheet. Bake in the oven at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and use a fork to roll-up and stick with a toothpick, ta-da! You must roll-up the bacon promptly after being removed from the over, or else it will adhere itself to the foil, and that’s sad.
When Seth first learned of this, we used regular brown refined sugar, but we changed our sugar to be more paleo-friendly (still, we rarely eat any sugar anymore). We always take it to parties, and it is always the first thing to disappear, and we usually make double batches 🙂
