Back In The Paleo Saddle Again, Back Where A Friend Is A Friend
Well, Adam and I have decided to go back on the Paleo Diet again, because it is healthy, good for us, and it helps us lose weight. Not to mention, it requires us to cook at home, which ultimately saves us money, means we eat yummier food, and tend to appreciate and pay attention to what we’re eating more. Oh yeah, and there’s that whole “me-hurting-less” thing. Altogether, it’s a good choice for us.
I’ve spent a lot of time today adding recipes to my Pinterest board, The Paleo Compendium. There are 4-fork recipes up there from epicurious.com and 5 star recipes from allrecipes.com, just waiting for us to cook and chow down on them.
Of course, as we go through, Adam and I are going to end up having our own variations on recipes, and we’ll post them here, as we tend to do.
One A Day. Whaddaya Say?
I’m going to try to give you a different, delicious paleo-friendly recipe from either myself or some other website everyday. Because Adam and I are going to be eating this way, it shouldn’t be too terribly difficult, especially considering how many recipes I already have ready to go on the Compendium.
Tonight, we’re going to be trying Paleo Shepherd’s Pie as featured on Elena’s Pantry. The recipe looks great, so hopefully it will taste great!
