Welcome to the Paleo Edition of Tasty Tuesday!

If you’re following the Paleo Diet, here are some tasty breakfast ideas.

Seeing how yesterday we discussed what constitutes the Paleo Diet and what doesn’t, I thought that we could explore some different paleo recipe options today for Tasty Tuesday. With restrictions on several food categories that many people would describe as an integral part of their daily diet (think dairy and cereal grains), I can appreciate that finding delicious paleo recipes may be a bit of a challenge – especially, for breakfast.

Fortunately for all of you paleo eaters out there, we have found a cumulation of 20 Paleo Breakfast Ideas from the blog, Life With 4 Boys, that all look absolutely drool-worthy! From egg benedict to waffles, these recipes look so good that people who aren’t even following the paleo diet may want to try them. And don’t forget to sprinkle your PGX on beforehand!

In honour of February being Heart Health Month today’s guilt-free temptation comes from the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

No more aimless walking in the grocery store. It’s time to shop ourselves healthy!

I can’t even count how many times I walk over to the refrigerator, stare at its contents and close the door empty handed. From there, I cruise over to the pantry and start inspecting it’s contents!

The crave monster has just surfaced and it’s forcing me to begin the hunt for snacks! All too often this leads to snacking on things like chips and dip or if nothing else, buttered toast (I swear I could live on toasted bread with butter and I would be quite happy!). So what can one do to prevent this kind of craving grazing? It all starts at the grocery store…

Say goodbye to soda, juice, and bottled water with these refreshing, healthy flavors!

Try this homemade ‘spa water’ with a wide variety of flavors to motivate you to drink more water. If you’re like me you might forget to drink enough water everyday. Although we have great tasting tap water, I am more likely to remember to drink water if it’s flavoured. It feels more like a special treat!
