In episode 72 we get to hear Dietitian Cassie fly solo while talking with our guests Kelly O. Schmidt of PaleoInfused and Corben Thomas of PaleoLife365!   In this episode, we discuss why it shouldn't be surprising that "Big Food" wants to be part of training dietitians and nutritionists, why margarine will kill you, why whole grains aren't really low on the Glycemic Index, why "Big Agra" wants us out of their abattoirs, attitudes about the obese and food addiction, and much, MUCH more!

Welcome back as our special low-carb friends Jessica Kempf of the Budget For Health blog and returning friend Eric "That Nice Boy Dana Carpender Married" Schmitz of mytotalgymtransformation.com  join co-hosts Dietitian Cassie and Kevin Kennedy-Spaien.

While Jimmy is still toiling in the salt mines, dictating his latest book to a staff of specially trained ninja scribes in Kathmandu, we're holding down the fort here on the Virtual Porch. Our special guests this week help us talk about such scintillating subjects as:

• Why you don't need to be rich or snobby to eat well
• Why you may not be able to instagram your next dining experience
• How to make your own full-fat yogurt
• What the heck "eating clean" may or may not mean
• Bacorn, Kale chips and much, MUCH more!

Please note that Kevin was viciously attacked by his microphone this week. As a result that mic had to be put to sleep. He hopes to sound better  for episode 72!

Welcome back for another fantastic episode of Low-Carb Conversations With Jimmy Moore and Friends! Today is special for a few reasons: First, Jimmy's not here- he's taking a break to write a new book. Second, It's our special 70th episode. Woot!

Of course it is also special because of our great guests Adam Kosloff and Mark Spurbeck who are joining Dietitian Cassie and guest-host Kevin Kennedy-Spaien today. Adam is the author of Beyond Caloriegate and the voice of the Escape From Caloriegate podcast and Mark is one of Minneapolis' most prestigious personal trainers through his company Fit Twin Cities.

You can learn all about both of them at:

Today's recipe is Adam's dad's pot roast from their book, The 12 Essential Low Carb Cooking Skills: Plus, 49 Simple, Scrumptious Low Carb Diet Recipes.

Pot Roast (Serves 4 to 6)

Pot roast is a good simple one-pot meal that requires a minimum of fussing. Like any braise, it takes some time to prepare. It is easily prepared in a slow cooker. (Follow manufacturer's directions for cooking time and temperature.) This recipe is very basic, but fail-safe.

Ingredients:
1 (3 to 4 lb.) pot roast (chuck, top or bottom round)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
2 cups beef stock
2 onions, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and cut on the bias into 1" pieces
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 ounce cremini mushrooms, quartered
1 tablespoon herbs de province
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt and pepper
Chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the meat on all sides with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, brown the meat on all sides in the extra virgin olive oil. Add the tomatoes, the onions, the herbs de province, the bay leaves and the rest of the veggies. Make sure all the herbs and veggies are immersed in the liquid. Bring back to a boil. Tightly cover the pot and place it in the oven. Roast for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender. When done, remove the pot from the oven. Remove the meat and allow it to rest on a cutting board. If the jus is too thin, return the pot to the stove top and boil to reduce it. The jus should be thin but well-flavored. Correct the seasoning. Slice the meat and serve accompanied by the veggies and jus, garnished with parsley, or, you can serve a few chunks of the beef atop some pureed veggies with a bit of the jus over top and garnished with the parsley (yum!).
