Today\\u2019s show features a lively (and mouthwatering) talk between host Elle Russ and paleo cook Cindy Barbieri. In the last few years, there\\u2019s been a huge movement within the primal/paleo community to find more nutritionally friendly ways to recreate traditional recipes we all love. Of the many cuisines that present unique challenges to paleo adaptations, Italian food is probably one of the hardest that comes to mind. With gluten or grains as a staple to what many consider timeless recipes (whether we\\u2019re talking about pizza or pasta), one would think that making Italian food paleo is a pretty foolhardy pursuit. But on today\\u2019s show Cindy shares how she\\u2019s been able to crack the code!

Cindy and Elle discuss how Cindy got into cooking as a pastime, why going paleo was the right switch for her and her husband, and how\\u2019s she\\u2019s been able to adapt a whole slew of her favorite, non-paleo dishes into nutritionally sound versions of their former selves.

Do you miss Italian food like a long lost friend? Then you won\\u2019t want to miss out on today\\u2019s episode for a welcome primal/paleo reunion!
