The Halloween Paleo Potluck Results
Written by George Economou
My apologies for not posting this sooner, but the results are in. Thanks again to everyone who participated in the potluck. We had a wide variety of dishes present, including: meatballs, bacon wrapped steak and scallops, salad, honey & almond butter stuffed raspberries, granola, ice cream (probably the tastiest), and many more. Now, on to the winners!
Best Individual Costume – Kristen Hatcher: 80’s Prom Queen. The beauty of Kristen’s costume was that 20 years ago it really was her prom dress! As a reward for hanging onto the dress, Kristen will receive a yearlong subscription to the Performance Menu.
Best Family Costume – The Stines: Little Bo Peep, Big Bad Wolf, and a flock of sheep (every flock has one black sheep). To help subsidize the cost of cotton balls involved in creating the flock, the Stines have won a Thanksgiving Turducken from Iowa Meat Farms.
Although the potluck was a success in sharing paleo-friendly recipes, and just getting some community members together for a good time, I was concerned with the use, and potential misconception, of agave nectar. So, I decided to look into it a bit more. Tomorrow’s post will detail what I have found and give you my thoughts on whether agave nectar should be an acceptable sweetener in a Paleo diet.
Outstanding Costumes!! Holy Flock of Stines!
Stines are cute! Does anyone know of a good and cheap accupuncturist? I am suffering from mucho GI problems and if I cut one more thing out of my diet I might as well move into the woods and eat dirt and tree bark. I tried reflexology last night and the therapist said, “damn your stomach is f*$ked up”. Kinda reminded me of Calvin
I am going Western and getting an endoscopy but would love alternative methods as well. Thoughts?
one black sheep. that is too cute.
I’m a big fan of Circle of Living accupuncture. Marie and Mark Kastner are very intuned to the body and well worth a try. I’ve been going to them on and off for about 4 years now. I don’t know your defintion of cheap, but I would highly recommend them.

Hi Lizzle,
Have you had a complete allergy test done? It took me A LONG time to figure out what was causing various problems for me and I went through all of that, endoscopies, various specialist, etc, etc, etc. And it’s not cheap!!! Reply to my personal email and I can elaborate a bit more if you like. Hope you fell better!
