And now... So Much Good Food that I just cannot eat!! Doc says to Go Paleo

OK. I really want to feel better, and I have been cutting back on bread, flour, grains, etc., and dairy. BUT NO CHEESE!! Oh my. I love cheese, good cheese, Blue cheese, Bries of all sorts, good Parmesan and Pecorino... this is sad. So I will have to make this an adventure!

I'm going to begin by showing you all the good food and recipes I've made over several years, and then explain how to tweak them just enough to be Paleo. Some, I will have to forego altogether (boo hoo), but I suppose you can still enjoy them.


                                                                Hey! I can eat this!
Mmmmm, nothing smells better to me than a yummy, free-range chicken roasting on a spit. I salt and peppered it, and slathered it in butter. Oops, butter--hmmm, better go for the grass-fed butter. That's on my diet. So, maybe Paleo's not so bad after all.


Our local natural grocery store had this fresh, baby kale in the produce department and I just couldn't resist buying it. I'm glad I did. Baby kale is so delicate and delicious. All I did was saute it in a little olive oil, fresh garlic, and salt and pepper; then I added just a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end. So good. It went very well with the chicken and it's a Paleo dieter's delight! Now if I could only have dessert....


I'm finding that I can actually eat all kinds of foods that I really love. Pears make an excellent dessert and without all the calories. Apple slices dipped in almond butter are another choice. 

                                            So, for me, this makes a perfect Paleo meal!
