About

If you’re in St. Louis and spout off in 140-character increments on Twitter, you probably know one if not both of us. We — that would be Tom (@SPACEarchitects) and Shelley (@stlshelley) — love food, and to keep our energy up and waistlines in check, we practice the Paleo diet. (For the unindoctrinated, it’s essentially a modernized version of how our hunched-over Paleolithic brethren ate: lean meats, veggies, nuts and fruits. Dairy, wheat, processed sugar and legumes are no-nos. For a more robust explanation of Paleo and their frustration with it, check out one of Shelley’s [many] rants here.)

This blog is a food diary that outlines our kitchen successes and the inevitable failures. We’re not perfect — we will indulge in big grilled cheese sandwiches, ice cream, and pizza from time to time — but we’re sure going to do our best. We aren’t professionally-trained chefs, but we can hold our own in the kitchen and we know what tastes good. If you want to eat the Paleo way but demand food that’s delicious and enjoyable to eat, join us. If you’re on Twitter, follow us in real time at @palatablepaleo.
