Our thirty-fifth show!
Ep. 35: Paleo Convenience Foods
First of all, a warm welcome to the newest Paleo Parents Team member, Monica of ThePaleos! Monica will be helping Paleo Parents organize some of the administrative chaos of the blog in an effort for Matt & Stacy to spend more time on blog content and spending time together. As a side effect, she’s also helping me because she is taking over some of the essential podcast jobs, like show notes!
PLEASE comment welcoming Monica, and if there’s ANYTHING more you’d like out of the show notes (or blog in general) please let us know – since we’ve got some help we’re ready for (reasonable) requests! FYI, transcripts aren’t reasonable (yet) … sorry.
In this episode, Stacy and Sarah invite Mira and Jayson Calton, authors of Rich Food, Poor Food and Naked Calories, to share suggestions on nutrient dense paleo convenience foods. Learn about beverages that support your health, how to prepare your pantry for storms and power outages, and how to fuel your family in healthy ways while on the road or in the woods.

Monica is the latest member of the Paleo Parents Team! Raised in a full-on hippy house, she was taught to love the land and the animals that feed from it. From old school hog butcherings to berry farm harvesting treks, her parents showed that health began with food choices. However, her teen years brought her down a rebellious path with food and she began to struggle with the world of weight-gain, yo-yo diets, and eating in secret. It wasn’t until her husband nudged her in the direction of the Primal Blueprint that she learned how to break my unhealthy cycle.
Now she is carving out her own hippy life and learning how to raise a paleo family in our modern-day grain and sugar crazed world. Monica can be found at thepaleos.com as well as Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest .
