On Mark's Daily Apple today there was an article about how we may be secretly sabotaging our weight loss efforts inadvertantly...check it out, is this you?
There was another interesting article in The Sydney Morning Herald about coconut oil and coconut water. Read up and let us know what you think. Do you use coconut oil and/or coconut water? Where do you buy yours, which is your favorite?

Here is an interesting article about parenting. It discusses some of the very things Anne-Marie and I were talking about on one of our recent hikes. We all hope we are doing the best job we can with our kids and that they will turn out alright. Maybe this article will allow us to be less stressed about parenting and know that we are...Raising Successful Children
Another related video that Anne-Marie stumbled on this week talks about The Surprise Benefits of the Paleo Diet, check it out.
There is a good Jump Rope Workout video there as well.

Dinner Last Night
Last night I made two recipes out of Sarah Fragoso's new book Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook. I made the Best Ever Chicken Wings (I substituted drumsticks) and Riced Cauliflower. The chicken had a glaze of ginger, soy sauce (Bragg Liquid Aminos) and sesame oil. It was crispy and delicious. The rice was more like traditional fried rice and both were super easy and super tasty!
