On August 15, 2015, I had what was arguably the best day ever. I got married! In a beautiful garden, surrounded by close friends and family, with the sun shining and not a rain cloud in sight. But perhaps the best part of the day — besides, you know, the whole exchanging vows with the love of my life part — was the food.
We had a wood-fired pizza truck and an ice cream truck cater our wedding, and it was awesome.

I’m going to get really real with you today and talk about one of my go-to weeknight recipes. In my “what’s for dinner tonight?” flowchart, scrambled egg tacos are often the difference between a home-cooked meal and takeout. They are also the way we keep leftovers from languishing in the fridge — in my mind, there are few vegetables that won’t work in a tortilla. Apparently my kids agree with this sentiment, because on taco night, they seem to have no problem eating the very same vegetables they left on their plates earlier in the week.

I spent quite a few years cooking in a tiny New York City apartment kitchen, where storage space was at a serious premium. One of the many things it taught me was how to be creative and resourceful when it came to maximizing space.
Even when it feels like you’re utilizing all the storage space you possibly can, there are still ways to squeeze even more storage out of your kitchen. Here’s how.

Cookie lovers, rejoice — the Hydrox cookie is making a comeback. And it won’t just be a limited-time thing, like the brief reprise it had in 2008.
The precursor to the Oreo will find a permanent home on store shelves later this month.

Bloody Marys — along with other hangover-friendly items, like greasy bacon and crispy homefries — make regular appearances on most brunch menus. So why not take the essential flavors of a Bloody Mary and incorporate them into a meatball? If that’s not killing two birds, I don’t know what is.

It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here. I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!
WAY back in the 70’s, I jumped on the running bandwagon. Energized, invigorated, and inspired, running became part of my life, my “go to.”
Feeling “blue”? Go for a run!
Feeling “fat”? Go for a run!
Feeling “bored”? Go for a run!
I was going to run forever – I had the golden ticket to aging gracefully!
In ’97 I ran my first (and what turned out to be my only) marathon. I had visions of doing one marathon a year, glancing sideways at the possibility of an ultra. My body had other ideas, however.
Most runners know and experience physical obstacles of some sort, but usually we can find our way back on the literal and figurative track! I got back to running again when a friend invited me to do a RAGNAR! What a trip! I was re-hooked!
I started planning for a half-marathon for my 50th birthday. My training felt a lot different than it had 13 years ago, though. But I pushed along, ran my half, and celebrated finishing. Golden ticket in hand, I started training for the next half-marathon!
However, training was not getting any easier and pain was setting into new places. I spent the next two years searching out the right massage and/or physical therapist who would get me to where I could run pain free. Wasn’t happening. (I should also mention that strength training was not part of my half-marathon training. I just figured I just needed to run MORE.)
In the meantime, menopause was revving up and taking the lead. Yes, menopause is an obstacle that needs some savvy navigation. How was I going to tackle this obstacle without my “go to,” my “golden ticket?”
About this time, a co-worker and my hairdresser told me about Abstract, a place in town that does “precision exercise” in just 15 minutes. Unbelievable – right?
Precision exercise is strength training based on “Power of Ten” and “Body by Science.” I voraciously read both books and learned why my training was not the same as 13 years ago. (Sarcopenia)
These books also mentioned the “Paleo Diet” in their nutrition discussion. This is where my discovery of the Primal lifestyle and Mark’s Daily Apple drops in! Not having heard of “Paleo” as a diet before, I jumped on a search engine and discovered MDA. I have been an Apple junkie ever since!
I voraciously read the free e-books and the blogs put out by MDA. I couldn’t read enough. I dropped 10 pounds (mostly that stubborn belly weight) in the first month. My menopause symptoms seemed less intense. I felt more confidence in my daily routine because I felt better and stronger than I had in a long time. Relearning how to cook and eat was new and exciting. MDA was my new “go to.”
I continued “precision exercise” for awhile, but have since moved to another gym where I do more body weight exercises (push-ups, squats, planks and a plethora of variations!). There are several references to this type of training at MDA. I really like the added challenges of coordination and balance.
I am running pain free these days, though not quite the same distances that I used to run. I don’t need to. I feel too good.
I am maintaining my Paleo/Primal eating strategy. It is SUSTAINABLE AND SMART! If I need some information and/or motivation, I go to MDA and can pretty much be guaranteed an answer to my question or a renewal of my energy.
The Primal lifestyle is my new “go to!” It works! I truly believe it helped me through menopause.
Two years later, I am grateful for not only the paleo diet, but the Primal lifestyle, especially the sleep, fitness and fun rules! It’s a total package.
