As someone who could eat her weight (and then some) in cheese, wasting even the tiniest bit sounds like a criminal offense. Yet, even I’ve been there. I sometimes grab too many wedges of this and that and am left with a fridge drawer so full that no matter how many grilled cheese sandwiches I make, I can’t get through all the cheese. Then, before I know it, things start to get moldy.

Luckily, there is a super-smart and simple solution to this problem: Freeze your cheese.

Inline_Mark_SpeakingPaleo f(x), my favorite holistic health and fitness event in the world, returns to Austin, TX, April 27-29th! Yup, that’s right around the corner! In case you missed it the last 6 years, Paleo f(x) is the ultimate Who’s Who gathering of the ancestral health movement—as well as the best Primal party you’ll ever go to hands down.

I’ll be one of the speakers in several Mastermind Panels, including “State of the Paleo Union” and “The Smart Art of Endurance Training,” and I’ll be giving a talk on “The Evolution and Future of Ancestral Health Coaching.” Our very own Elle Russ, host of the Primal Blueprint Podcast, will also be speaking about her continuing research and experience with The Paleo Thyroid Solution. And my friends, coauthors, and fellow keto aficionados, Brad Kearns and Lindsay Taylor, will be there doing Q&A and other activities, as will our Primal Health Coach and Primal Kitchen teams.

You’ll also be getting deep inside the brains of other world-class speakers including New York Times bestselling authors, physicians, scientists, athletes, health entrepreneurs, fitness professionals, biohackers, and more. Robb Wolf will be joining me, along with Chris Kresser, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, Dr. Kellyann Petrucci, Ben Greenfield, Sarah Fragoso, John Durant, and dozens upon dozens more. You can register for the event and see a full list of speakers here.

I had such a great time rubbing elbows with thousands of like-minded Primal/Paleo enthusiasts at last year’s Paleo f(x). The Palmer Events Center featured all the biggest companies in the ancestral health sphere along with over 30 expert speakers. Overall, there wasn’t a dull moment, an empty belly, or a lack of enthusiasm among the pop-up community of Primal/Paleo attendees.

2018 promises to be even more of a thrill. The event features:

  • Keynotes: Be empowered and inspired by the thought leaders of the wellness movement at the keynote stage talks. (You’ll find me in this crew.)
  • Workshops: Work live with coaches and fitness experts at the small group expo floor workshops. Master your squat, conquer your kettlebell swing, or have fun at a “Primal Playout.”
  • Cooking Demos: Learn new mouth-watering Paleo recipes, up close and personal with your favorite bestselling cookbook authors and foodie bloggers.
  • Paleo On-Ramp: The special beginner-friendly stage has “Paleo 101” level talks that gently introduce you to real food and optimal living.
  • Health Expo: Discover an array of health-conscious, paleo-friendly companies and sample delicious foods on the expo floor.
  • Book Signings: Meet all your favorite authors and speakers at book signing meet and greets.
  • Networking: Connect with entrepreneurs, creatives, and other passionate “builders” in the Paleo f(x) networking lounge. Includes special guided networking sessions for bloggers, fitness professionals, and health practitioners. If mingling isn’t your thing, Paleo f(x) also offers special guided networking sessions. You’ll be matched with 8-12 other attendees who share your similar interests, so there’s no way you’ll leave without making personal and lasting relationships with your paleo/Primal tribe.
  • Special Events: Celebrate the community and join us for the Saturday Night Charity Festival.

I’ll also be walking the ground floor for the entire event, so it’s a great chance for us to meet. Or catch me at my talk, when I’ll discuss the Primal importance of finding an avocation that excites you. I’ll share a bit about my own long and circuitous path to building my Primal businesses and offer some insight into how to discover hidden opportunities that can change your life.

Paleo f(x) takes place at the Palmer Event Center, a premier space in downtown Austin, adjacent to the city’s best food, music, and culture. Last year our Primal presence filled the streets, pervading every corner of Austin for the weekend.

This event is just around the corner (and tickets traditionally sell out), so be sure to register today!

Stroll through the dairy section in almost any grocery store and, perched on the shelves above the bricks of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, you’ll find an assortment of briny feta. And despite the fact that I buy feta regularly, I think it’s safe to say that making a choice isn’t always easy.

From blocks versus crumbles, to plain versus marinated, here’s what to know about buying feta at the grocery store.

Good Housekeeping, Wirecutter, and Cooks Illustrated have all carved out a niche for themselves. All three are known for their great product reviews and ability to suggest, supposedly without a doubt, the best small appliance or kitchen gadget. And yet, in the case of slow cookers, they’ve all suggested different ones.

We tried out the best-reviewed slow cookers from each publication, making the same stew and playing around with all the functions. Here are the pros and cons of each machine.

Do you feel that? That sweet, sweet sunshine that’s slowly infiltrating our lives and promising warmer days ahead? I certainly can, and I’m ready to lighten up my eating routine as a result. No, no, I’m not talking about losing weight for swimsuit season (because all you need for a “beach body” is a beach and a body, amiright?) — I’m talking about stepping away from the oven and eating more of the green things my body craves during this time of year.

Fresh! Things! Are! Happening!

So that’s why I was excited when Pinterest recently released their top “healthy” salad recipes on their platform right now. They’re defining “healthy” here based on whether or not the recipe developer described it that way — because healthy isn’t one-size-fits-all. All of these salad recipes are full of fresh vegetables, hearty grains, and delicious vinaigrettes and dressings, and they’re exactly what I want to eat right now. Sign me up.

Many of us have cream of tartar in our cabinets, an infrequently used ingredient for baking that we break out about twice a year. I always just assumed it was some kind of mineral, but recently learned it’s actually an acidic byproduct of the wine-making process. Like other tasteless baking tools (looking at you, baking soda and yeast!) its main role in cooking is to create chemical reactions: stabilizing egg whites, activating baking soda, and preventing sugar crystals among them.

And interestingly, those same chemical properties can help in cleaning! Here are seven things you can clean with cream of tartar.

If you’ve ever snacked on tahini-stuffed dates topped with a pinch of flaky salt, and maybe even a sprinkle of shredded coconut, you know it’s nearly impossible to eat just one. With a balanced flavor that’s nutty and sweet, with the slightest hint of saltiness, this is a treat that has a lot going for it.

But blitz it together, throw in some cashews, and roll it into bite-sized balls, and this snack suddenly becomes the best version of itself.

If you put your mind to it, you can turn sweet potatoes into anything you want in the kitchen. I’m serious! Don’t you remember last year when people were making “toast” out of their sweet potatoes? Incredible! Sweet potatoes are a culinary blank canvas waiting to be molded into whatever meal you can imagine. You want pizza but don’t have any dough? Sweet potatoes. You want to make noodles out of vegetables? Sweet potatoes to the rescue.

That’s why I was inspired when I saw these cheesy stuffed sweet potatoes from Averie Cooks. It’s a pretty easy and healthful meal, and there’s a grocery store shortcut from Trader Joe’s that super smart. It’s the kind of dinner you’ll want to make over and over again.
