So the new trend is Paleo or Primal eating. As I reach my 30s with bad knees from working on a retail floor, 30 added pounds, and stiffness. I've attempted different heath concepts to put a screeching halt towards deaths door. In the end I have decided that my body feels too terrible, too young. Stairs are a problem, sitting in my car after a long day at work is beyond painful on my lower back, and my energy is seriously lacking.
My mom got me a Paleo book for Christmas this year with a 30 day bootcamp for cooking. So I thought what the hell, Ill learn how to cook a few meals, and since Lee loves cooking we could make this a couples adventure. So naturally I roped my supportive boyfriend in with me and we were off to the store!
Since I have hardly cooked a day in my life, I thought I would share some of my dishes that I made and our progress. Lee will be there to supervise with his amazing chef skills. $350 later and more meat then should be legal for 2 people. We were ready. I printed every recipe for the first week.
DAY 1- here begins our journey
Breakfast was Sauteed Brussel Sprouts and Eggs. I dont know how to really make eggs since Lee is allergic to them and gluten, we have had to substitute different protein options for a lot of the dishes. Hence the average amount of eggs I eat are only in restaurants...so about 1x every year. Bring on the sulfur farts. I wish they would have been sunny side up for more texture, but other than that I loved it!
Lunch was a Cobb Salad- In my opinion a cobb salad is too much work at home for a salad. So much cubing for something I would rather just order at a restaurant. I missed my bleu cheese dressing since dairy is not exactly on the menu. By lunch we had and amazing amount of energy. Both of us were little kids needing to jump and work.
Dinner was Italian Wedding Soup- This took only 1.5 hours and was delicious! Our favorite one for the day. It keeps well and didn't take all day to make like most soups. I learned how to make killer meatballs. Those Italians sure do know how to cook.
