Food Sources on the Net

There are almost too many sources on the net these days for just about any topic. For me, I look for empirical evidence based sources (.edu or based on research) or I like reading the opposite end of the spectrum, blogs (people real life explanations). I think I get a good mix of science and real life examples of the Paleo diet that way.

The first site I love is Nikkisblogspot.com. Nikki is a trainer living in Australia who the author of The Paleo Cookbook. What I like about her site besides the information is the menu samples she offers.

Paleo Breakfast Recipes
Quinoa recipes
Foccacia, Sandwiches and Cake Recipes

These are just a few of her downloadable PDF's. Take a look at her site for more nikisblospot.com

Anothe great source for recipes (although the site is very minimal in design) is the paleofood.com

Basicly its an ongoing archive of user generated recipes. Check it out at paleofood.com

Finaly a great research site with links to many known reserches is paleodiet.com. Here you will find everything you need to know about the Paleo diet followed by emperical research to back it up.

No go out and try somthing new for dinner tonight!

ROB CAN COOK

Dinner last night was a beef and vegtables goulash
Ingredients
- 1 lb stewing beef cut to inch thickness
- 3 carrots cut to bite size
- 3 cellery stalks cut to bite size
- 2 cups of quartered mushrooms
- 1.5 onions medium diced
- 2 tsps of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of pepper
- 1 tsp of thyme leaves
- 1 tsp of rosmarry leaves chopped
- 2 cups of beef broth (I like to substitute one cup with water due to salt content)
- 1 cup of dry red wine

Season the meat a little before browning it in a medium size pot. Remove beef then add onions, cellery and carrots and cook until onions are translucent (3 min.). Add the rest of the vegtables and seasoning and cook for an additional minutes. Finally at the liquids and bring to a boil, then set on low heat for 45-55 minutes.

Then grab a spoon and a bowl and go to town!
Enjoy!
