We’re halfway through our first week on the Paleo Diet and so far we’re going strong. This morning we started the day with a fruit slaw – apple chunks, raisins, and shredded carrots with a pinch of cinnamon. The was supposed to accompany a boiled egg, but we were both full after the slaw. Jacob ended up having his egg in his salad for lunch and I didn’t eat it at all. For lunch I had a leftover pork chop with roasted beets and didn’t quite make it to my salad. Dinner was on the grill – halibut, asparagus, and zucchini with a small glass of white wine. Delicious!
I’ve had several questions about choosing meals and what types of food to buy, so I thought I’d share a list that I found at Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations here. This will show you everything you will need from kitchen gadgets and spices to meats and veggies.
And this is what we brought home from the store at the beginning of the week:
Meat and Seafood
rump roast
pork chops
ham (not so Paleo)
halibut
free-range chicken drumsticks
chicken breasts
Vegetables
lettuce
spinach
carrots
asparagus
beets
zucchini
cucumbers
mushrooms
bell pepper
parsley
celery
onions
garlic
Fruits
apples
pears
cherries
lemons
tomatoes
raisins
Nuts
sunflower seeds
cashews
