I'm going Paleo..

Yes, you read the title correctly. We are going paleo.. for today.. and maybe tomorrow. :) For everyone living under a rock who hasn't heard of the "Paleo Diet", it is all the rage right now and is actually worth it's weight in spinach. I wouldn't consider it a "diet" in the sense of Weight Watchers and the Tapeworm diet; I believe it is more of a lifestyle change. Especially considering you can eat whatever you want as long as it was around when the cavemen were. Pretty solid.

Anywho- I'm not a crazy dieter with superhuman willpower. I will be having the occasional nightly ice cream treat but we are striving to eat lighter and healthier. I have found some pretty solid sounding recipes for this week and will let you all know how they turn out.

Here's what is planned on our Food Agenda:

Monday: Shrimp Stir Fry with snow peas, bell peppers, green beans, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower. Will be using coconut oil as the "fat" and won't be using rice as the base. Should be fun.



Tuesday: Pesto Chicken over Spaghetti Squash "Pasta". Will add some fresh basil and a bit of freshly grated parmesan. Yummo!



Wednesday: Smoked Paprika Salmon over Sauteed Spinach. This should be super yummy!



Thursday: Ground Turkey "Sliders" with Spicy Avocado Slaw. And this will be B's favorite.


Geez- All this meal planning is making me super hungry. I might just have to grab a tangerine or some almonds to repress this hunger... Yeah, it will totally work. HA!

    1. I seriously think it did work (for the five days we did it completely ha). It was super easy and if you can get over the no refined carb thing it was very easy! We are really just striving to do Monday-Friday really great so we don't feel guilty about our weekend fall tailgating stuff...
