I know that my strict Paleo friends won’t go for this sweet and sour lentils recipe because they don’t eat legumes. Chris Kresser is one of the leading Paleo voices today, and he wrote this in an article discussing legumes: Some people—particularly those not previously familiar with my work—were surprised to hear me tell Dr. Oz that I think eating a few servings of legumes a week is fine as long you tolerate them well. The article goes on to conclude that while legumes perhaps aren’t as bad as some may think, they’re also not the most nutrient-dense food ever (not everything has to be grass-fed liver and bone broth, obviously, but it’s worth stating). Here’s the thing: if you’re in a big rush to get dinner on the table, then unsoaked lentils are better than takeout, and they’ll actually cook up just fine unlike many of their legume counterparts (don’t try that with kidney beans, oy).

Speaking of my very limited knowledge of pop culture – there are oh-so-many things I loved about the TV series “Parks & Rec”, not least of which was Donna and Tom’s annual Treat Yo’ Self day. The characters took it to a ridiculous (hilarious) level, and I’m not saying I want to emulate the fine details, but the over-arching message of indulgence is the same: if you practice moderation and restriction 99% of the time, it’s totally okay (heck, even encouraged! ) to indulge once in a while. If you don’t like chocolate and peanut butter together, I’ll obviously question the life choices that led you to this point, however you might want to try my No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Macaroons stat so that you can treat yo’ self too. : there’s great debate in the Paleo world about whether or not peanuts are allowable on a Paleo diet, but this article from Mark Sisson dives deep into the facts and concludes that a moderate amount of peanuts is probably perfectly fine.

By the time 2018 rolled around, though, I was mentally psyching myself up to get back into working and writing consistently again. However after two solid months of being basically useless to anyone I realized that I was actually still earning a full-time income thanks to the years of work I’ve put in to this blog. Since we don’t believe in doing things the easy way, we decided to also homeschool the other two kids starting in fall of 2018, which means all four kids are home with me now. app shocked me into action when it revealed the embarrassing stats on how much time I was truly spending on my phone, with much of that time being social media.

Coloring Pages | Coloring-page.com (the one above is .org, and it features licensed characters, whereas this one features regular pages in categories like nature and transportation.) 35.1000 Coloring Pages | The Coloring Barn (some absolutely gorgeous coloring pages here, but watch out for the odd stuff mixed in. I’m including this site because the actual coloring pages are beautiful, but just beware of the spammy stuff.) I love the idea of leaving new and special activities for the babysitter, and the printable cards are something my kids would absolutely love.)
