Stocking a Paleo Pantry with Thrive Market

March 23, 2016 By Becky 2 Comments

Stocking a Paleo Pantry with Thrive Market

Thrive Market is by far my favorite place to shop for paleo pantry staples. It’s a membership site, kind of like a virtual Costco, but it’s worth it because they have so many paleo-friendly ingredients and snacks at significantly reduced prices. They also give away a free membership to a family in need for every paid member that signs up! You can see a picture of one of my Thrive Market hauls on Instagram here. I highly recommend checking out Thrive if you haven’t already. If you use this link to sign up, you can also enter to win a $10,000 shopping spree! (The links to Thrive in this post are affiliate links, so I do get a small commission if you join.)

Today I’m sharing a list of my top 10 staples for stocking a paleo pantry, along with some links to my favorite recipes that use those ingredients. If you have questions about Thrive or any of these products, feel free to ask in the comments! Spring is the perfect time to clean out any junk food that’s lingering in your kitchen and replace it with wholesome ingredients, and these products are ones I reach for again and again.

Vietnamese Caramelized Pork Meatball "Vermicelli" Bowl

1. Red Boat fish sauce is an umami-packed miracle elixir that is irreplaceable in many Thai and Vietnamese dishes. It makes both the meatballs and sauce in this Vietnamese caramelized meatball “vermicelli” bowl totally irresistible, and also forms the sauce base for my fastest stir-fry, the pork and sweet basil stir-fry on page 156 of Paleo Planet.

A Calculated Gift Guide: Make a Difference with 10 Presents Under $50

December 12, 2013 By Becky 4 Comments

I had so much fun putting together this list of ten great gift ideas that support amazing causes around the world.  Spoiler alert: if you’re on my Christmas list, you’re probably getting one of these (hi, Mom)!

Ever since my first graders voted last year to name our class the cheetahs, I’ve been keeping up with conservation efforts to save the marvelous cats.  You can help cheetahs by sponsoring a livestock guarding dog in the name of someone on your list.  The Cheetah Conservation Fund‘s unique project raises and trains Anatolian shepherds to protect local farmers’ herds, thus reducing the number of cheetahs that are killed by farmers to save their livestock.  Donations start at $10, and you can download a personalized sponsorship certificate and a picture of one of the dogs.
