Grandma's Italian "Bread" Crumbs :: Gluten Free & Primal

Ralph Lazaro October 2, 2014

Growing up in an Italian home bread was a staple for most good meals (on the table and in the recipes)...and the term "breaking bread" had a special meaning to it, beyond just the food. I first learned about cooking Italian from my grandmother who spent hours preparing her feasts for the family to enjoy.

Welcome to our world!

“Mommy, when did you REALLY start working out?” -Asher (9 yr old son). 😂 I’ve been active and “working out” since I was 4, but I made a drastic change in how I was fueling my body 7ish years ago. Pictured above (on the left) is me 7ish years ago and (on the right) me this morning. My @lululemon color scheme has not changed, but my eating habits sure have. I am able to increase my workout volume and intensity because my body is fueled properly. Here it is... (no magic pill y’all) No gluten, no dairy, no sugar, and no processed crap! I eat REAL/WHOLE Foods and I have one cheat meal a week where I go ALL INNNN!! #transformationtuesday #transformation

Y’all. My mama is 66 years old and she is a BOSS!

We GET to choose how our family starts their day. So we opt to start each day with GOOD FOOD for ALL - setting everyone up for success. Wanna see a typical morning in our household? Check out the video from my time cooking with our @perfectlyimperfectproduce box #linkinbio. I share my story, what we eat, and the magical potion we use to help our kids eat their veggies. 🙄🧙‍♀️ I know it’s easier to wake up and throw some cereal at everyone and call it a day...but, if I wake up 10 minutes earlier and make a dope breakfast it sends my people out into the world READY for the day. You can get my recipes and hear my WHY from @perfectlyimperfectproduce IGTV. Check them out y’all; I love what they are up to and look forward to my weekly #organic box.

EpCOT me a Keeper. Vacation is over for a few weeks 😭. We love every single second we get to travel and adventure, but it sure feels good to be home for a bit. #tbt #disney

MONTANA with family.

20 years between these Christmas Photos🎄😂. A little more bicep and a little less crop top, but same fireplace and a whole lotta memories and life in between!!

Merry Christmas Y’all. ❤️ PS- no children were permanently harmed in the making of this photo moment. 😂 FAIL.

First weekend in town in a bit. Felt good. Also, @ralphlazaro hit himself in the head with a barbell... he is fine, but now you don’t have to ask what happened. 😂💪

If you can carry it, you can keep it! Issa family tradition. #christmastree 🎄

We’ve found that giving TIME is usually harder than giving physical gifts. And today being #givingtuesday we are reminded of the value of the gift of time. We are really busy, but who isn’t busy right now?! This holiday season our goal is to show our kids and each other the importance of giving gifts - the physical kind, but also TIME, LOVE, GRATITUDE and the many other gifts that don’t cost money.

Time to dress up real nice and head downstairs to eat together. #SWEATANDFEAST y’all.

Falling coconuts kill 150 people per year. Two days of walking amongst the palm trees in the Bahamas and we still here!!! @fsoceanclub
