Pirate Paleo: January 2012

Hey everyone! This is a blog where I will post my family's "paleo" meals. The paleo diet is garden vegetables (especially greens), lean meats, little starch, nuts and seeds, and no sugar.

We really like this diet and it makes us feel great! My sisters sometimes ask when we're going to be done eating like this, and somone responds by saying that we're never going to stop eating like this as a lifestyle. Although sometimes (it's probably more than sometimes) we don't follow it as strictly as we should. We like sweets!! Happy reading!

Yummy!

Tonight, we had another pretty paleo dinner. We had pork steaks, sweet potatoes, and fresh salad. I'm not sure if sweet potatoes are strictly paleo, but according to us, they're fine!
Fresh vegetables are better for you than boiled or cooked ones are. The enzymes, vitamins, and minerals in the vegetables are more accessible to your body and generally undamaged if they're fresh. I'm not saying to never eat cooked vegetables, we do that a lot, but you probably should eat fresh vegetables more often than cooked ones.

Tuna Boats

For lunch today we had tuna boats. We took a large green bell pepper and cut it into ridges or pockets (so you can put things in the pepper pieces). Then we put we put tuna in the pocket and then slices of tomato on top.
This is definitely paleo!
My mom had something else for lunch that was paleo too.
She had cut up chicken breasts with cut up tomatoes and avocados.
Enjoy!!
