In the mid-19th Century, a doctor noticed something unusual about a group of Polish miners: they seemed to be in strangely good health. After all, most 19th-century miners worked in poor conditions for long hours, and were prone to respiratory ailments like bronchitis and silicosis. Even in Europe’s most industrialized nation of the era, the […]

If I could implore you to do one thing whenever you cook brisket, it would be this: Make extra brisket and freeze it. Beef brisket is better the day after it is cooked, but it can be momentarily life-changing when you remember you have some ready and waiting in the freezer. This simple tip for freezing those leftovers will ensure that you can take the leftovers and turn them into breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime.

inline_EarlGreyCollagenFatBombs03The good folks at Pique Tea have stopped in this week to serve up two awesome keto recipes to our Primal crowd. Enjoy these rich and chocolatey Keto Earl Gray Collagen Fat Bombs today, and be sure to check back Wednesday morning for a tasty collagen latte. Good stuff. Enjoy your weekend, everyone.

While a good Primal diet offers much in the way of healthy, varied fats, with keto it’s helpful to have extra strategies for incorporating additional good fats. That’s where these two dairy-free keto recipes make the perfect on-the-go breakfast, snack, meal replacement, you-name-it, throughout the day. They keep you fuller, for longer, while letting you experience the many benefits from tea polyphenols. Tea is full of a type of antioxidants called catechins that suppress appetite and stimulate metabolism. Tea caffeine also increases your metabolic rate so your body burns off excess calories and body fat to boost ketone levels faster.

And here’s what makes these Keto Earl Grey Collagen recipes so special. Not only do you gain all the major benefits of collagen and a healthy dose of nutrient-dense fat from coconut oil, you’ll also get the nutritional benefits of tea polyphenols. One of the original superfoods, tea polyphenols have long been used in traditional medicine for both its high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Tea is also a natural prebiotic that feeds your gut with healthy bacteria, balancing the bio flora in your gut. A healthy balance of gut bacteria will provide you with more energy, improved digestion, reduced stress, stronger immunity, to even glowing skin.

So, you can be sure these easy keto Earl Grey recipes offer more than their share of both delicious flavor and essential nutrients. Today, we used Pique Tea Crystals for an Earl Grey kick in our fat bombs. It is an easy way to get the most pure, potent tea antioxidants alongside the collagen benefits in these Collagen Fuel packets. Each Pique Tea sachet contains up to 12x the antioxidants (third-party verified) than regular teas and is the first of its kind to triple screen for mycotoxins, mold and heavy metals.

Servings: 10 (approximately)

Time in the Kitchen: 10 minutes (plus 1 hour for chill time)

Ingredients:

As any parent of a young kid knows, getting a little one to willingly gobble up their recommended daily dose of fruits and veggies is a tall order — which is where smoothies come in.

Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to offer up a lot of produce at once (with all of the immune-boosting properties, vitamins, and fiber little bodies need) in a vehicle that can be slurped down on even the most rushed of mornings. And if you stock your fridge and freezer, you can even blend them up in mere minutes.

The only thing I love more than browsing the aisles of The Container Store is spying on other people to see what they have in their carts. I’m a decently organized person (I organize my table linens in ROYGBIV order), but it’s easy to feel a little less than at The Container Store. Is this what everyone else’s house looks like? Am I doing something wrong? Should I be buying something else?

The answer to those first two questions is no. Promise. The answer to the final question can be found in this post. Here, we gathered the store’s 10 best-selling kitchen products. You’ll see a lot of products by the same brand (which is a sign of quality!) and get some good ideas of things to add to your next shopping list. Take a look.

What’s the best way to clean granite countertops? We’ve read a lot of varying views on this — use Windex! No, never use Windex! Use a special granite-only cleaner! No, you don’t need a special granite-only cleaner! — but after doing our own research, we think we’ve discovered a consensus among stone experts on how to care for granite. The best part?

A few times a year I get burnt out on cooking. Rather than rely on delivery or dinners out, simplifying helps me work through the rut. Using a dinner template and keeping the recipes very basic usually means I spend less time choosing recipes and then less time cooking, which is perfect for the weeks when we just need dinner to be sustenance.

These basic dinners only just happen to be vegetarian. This helps cut down on their cooking and cleanup times, makes the most of pantry staples, and keeps my budget in check. Here are the five simple vegetarian dinners I’m feeding my family this week.

For many weary travelers, coming down with a cold after a long flight is par for the course. That’s because airplanes are the perfect environment for spreading viral infections.

Acupressure has been used to beautify the skin for thousands of years because it enhances muscle tone and increases circulation. Just like acupuncture, acupressure incorporates the same pressure points and meridians. But acupressure uses gentle to firm finger pressure instead of needles. And if used properly, acupressure will help make your skin glow! In fact, […]
