Twice Baked Potato or Potato Skins?

A little of both, actually. I’ve never looked at a recipe but a twice baked potato includes scooping out the insides, whipping them up like mashed potato, then putting them back in the skins to bake. Potato skins typically includes bacon and some cheese as the base, melted into the skins. But how about a…

The Supplements I Take and Why I Take Them

The Roundup In general, I think less supplementation ought to be the goal, in favor of eating the best quality diet of “Real Foods” you can. That said and with the precautionary principle in mind, I think there are a few that deserve consideration. For the most part, there is an evolutionary basis for these,…

Crazy Stupid – Paleo – Love #AHS11

 It’s 2:11 AM Just got up after a couple of hours sleep. Bea’s right behind, sleeping soundly near as I can tell. And I’m filled to the brim with a mix of love, adoration and euphoria, such that I figured it was time to get my ass out of bed and write about it instead…
