I love going to the mailbox. You just never know what’s lurking in there. So imagine my surprise to find a cookbook that wasn’t even available to the general public yet! It was like Christmas in September. But let me back up for a second. I do some marketing work, so I’ve been watching Paleo’s […]

Review: Vosges Mo’s Dark Bacon Bar

Saw this little gem at the store and knew I had to try it. Confession #1: Pre-Primal, my favorite treats were chocolate-covered pretzels. The sweet, the salt, the crunch…mmm. Confession #2: I wish I’d never seen this ’cause I’m in trouble. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s only 62% cacao, not dark enough for our purposes. But […]
