Step 1: Visit the San Pedro butcher shop for your imported/specialty meats, cheeses, and fresh mushrooms (misc stuff too, our homemade BBQ sauces, olive oil, etc).
Step 2: Walk 5 min away towards the Santiago dock and hit Geronimo’s farm (not affiliated w/ Joe’s, just the freshest stuff around).
Step 3: Pick your produce needs.
Step 4: Combine into your dish of preference (ours tonight was a bolognese-ish sauce; I say ish due to some lack of traditional ingredients).*
Step 5: Enjoy!

True story of a bolognese-ish dish being born & the shops that help: Smokin’ Joe’s is a mom & pop butcher shop tues-fri ‘til 4 and a mobile weekend bbq in the Lake Atitlan region with the BEST burgers and meat in the country.
Geronimo’s farm is mainly near the Santiago boat dock now (3 min from Smokin’ Joe’s shop) and he ONLY uses fresh well water on his crops; no pesticides, weird fertilizers, gmos, just WATER and stuff like this is how I lost 55 lbs overnight.
Don’t believe me? Leave the US AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF how healthy you can feel (even with cancer induced nerve damage and epilepsy) w/out all that bullshit poisoning your food. IF YOU HAVE KIDS YOU OWE IT TO THEM TO GET THEM OUT OR ELSE YOU’RE JUST ABUSING THEM.
Situated in paradise on the shores of #LakeAtitlan in #Guatemala’s San Pedro La Laguna, #SmokinJoes is not only a mobile weekend American southern-style bbq, but a shop providing the town with much needed access to gourmet imports, southern style homemade bbq sauces, & most importantly clean food.
Stop by the bbq Saturdays in Panajachel or Sunday in San Pedro for perfectly grilled meat comas and a scrumptious selection of sides, or just to hang at the bar, where there are weekly drink specials.
Open til 4pm Tues-Friday, our shop is just 2 doors beyond the bbq location, so stop by for the freshest, widest selection, and check out the catalog on FB: https://www.facebook.com/smokinjoesbbqmeats/
Can you think of a prettier backdrop for chillaxed weekend foodcoma bliss?

Long story as I haven’t blogged in forever but I wound up in Guatemala enjoying THIS fabulous bbq on weekends trying to slow my brain tumor w/clean food. I HAVE lost plenty of weight on the clean food diet and THAT is my view.
Smokin’ Joe’s is not only one of the most delicious things in town but a truly diverse experience and one you can’t miss traveling down here!

The #truestory of how a tiny butcher shop & a local farm that uses no pesticides make my meals fantastic :) Thanks everyone!
It’s official: this quinoa-egg scramble is the holy grail of breakfasts. I made this in the morning using just five ingredients:
- quinoa (left over from last night’s dinner)
- one egg
- red pepper
- avocado
- spinach
Let the spinach wilt on a medium heat until limp, then add the egg and cook for two minutes before adding the red pepper and quinoa. I add the avocado once the scramble is in the bowl. Enjoy!

Ever thought about having Apple Crumble for breakfast? Here’s An easy recipe for a healthy apple crumble, that you can eat ANYTIME! I’m sometimes skeptical of “healthy” dessert recipes because some of them call for sketchy ingredients, that mostly turn out doing more harm than good. As always, I try to cook and bake with mostly whole ingredients and minimize the sugar in recipes, as some…
Ditch the dairy with this vegan Mac and No-Cheese Recipe! Try this creamy cashew-cheese alternative to that dairy stuff, that will leave you satisfied in your decision to leave the cows alone. I’m pretty sure we all have our stories with that boxed Mac & Cheese; this is not that kind. After a lot of trial and error, with the potatoes-carrots combo and even a tofu-based cheese, I came up with this…
Happy Monday everyone! Originally this was going to be a “Monthly Favorites” post, I got the idea about two months ago and I wanted this to be a monthly thing. But recently (by this I mean today), I decided to be honest with myself considering my schedule and realized that a “Monthly Favorites” can be kind of impossible for me. So, I’ll be doing “Current Favorites” every once in awhile, whenever…
Society loves quick fixes; if a pill can provide defense against a long list of diseases, it sells. But there’s a catch to consuming supplements blindly. Many people blow huge amounts of money on useless and overpriced supplements & weight loss pills. Well-chosen supplements can be an inexpensive and affordable way to avoid nutrient deficiencies and good health; for people who follow a…
This 5-Bean Salad combines black, pinto, garbanzo, cannellini, and kidney beans, onions, and garlic, tied together with fresh avocado! This super simple salad is perfect for lunch or a nice addition to dinner.

A couple of months ago, I saw a beautiful bowl on one of Tess Begg videos. I was amazed when I found out that they were made out of coconuts. Bowls made out of coconuts? What? For weeks, I put off buying them, and then, out of nowhere, one was gifted to me. I am in the process of trying to be more mindful of the items that I buy. I, without doubt, still have ways to go, but one thing I started…
Going Vegan is a whole lot more than learning to make bolognese without meat & dairy-free ice cream. Most people eat and wear animal products and rely on a multitude of products that are tested on animals. I have to admit to being guilty of this. Living in Island has a lot of cons, one of them being having limited access to other vegan products that are not food; like beauty, skincare, and…
