Yes world. I am trying to cook via Paleo for 30 DAYS. “Does this mean, you can’t eat PASTA?!”
Yes, I can’t eat pasta.
“Wait, what about…CHEEESE???!?!?!?”
I am forgoing eating that and all dairy as well – Yes, even cheese and yogurt.
My two best friends have gluten intolerances and it’s been a tough journey for them trying to figure out what works for their body and what doesn’t. I have been…a little over the top with regards to my unhealthy eating habits this summer, that I decided September 1st, I am going to try eating the Paleo Diet.
Though, it’s not considered a diet necessarily, it’s all about eating non-processed, whole food – meant, veggies, fruit. I’m using the Practical Paleo book from Diane Sanfilippo meal planning and recipes. I have half the month figured out and I need to plan the second month. But it’s been exciting and stressful.
I went meat shopping yesterday at Costco and got all the chicken breasts, thighs, ground turkey, and ground beef I have ever purchased in my life. I basically have taken over the apartments freezer. Today I bought the veggies and start the pre-cooking for tomorrow’s meals.
I made crustless quiche for breakfast and mustard glazed chicken thighs for lunch, which will include a mixed greens salad with cherry tomatoes, green onions, cucumbers, and balsamic vinaigrette. Pictures of what I made so far are below:
It was quite easy to make actually. And I’m really excited to try them. And honestly, besides getting healthier, this forces me to be better about cooking. I love cooking. I miss cooking. I always talk about cooking. For goodness sakes this blog is about cooking! But these past few months I haven’t cooked much and it doesn’t feel right. Getting back in the kitchen will be good for me. And I’ve always wanted to cook more with meat, so I am real excited!
This journey in particular will be interesting – I hope to documents every day or every other day – we’ll see how it goes. Please keep reading though if you’re interested! I plan to be more proactive in my relatively decent blog writing. 🙂
