Traditionally, these noodles are served with a scrambled egg on top, but you can omit it. You can use chicken or tofu […]

Focused primarily on the consumption of real, unprocessed, non-packaged food (think lean meats, eggs, vegetable and limited quantities of fruits and nuts), the Paleo diet involves foods that are basic but nutritious. Grains, dairy, and processed foods are off the list, as are sugars – an oft-hidden staple of our modern diets. While other ingredients […]
