Pirate Paleo: 2013

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!

Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

These are a big favorite here! Enjoy! Bake 6-8 sweet potatoes or yams until soft. For the filling: 1-2 lbs sausage, 1 large bunch kale, 1 onion, 1 green or red pepper, Few cloves fresh garlic, Mushrooms (optional). Fry the sausage. When it's about half way done add the mushrooms, onion and pepper and garlic. When it's almost done, add the kale and keep frying until tender. Season as desired (the sausage we use is already seasoned so we don't add anything else). Slice baked sweet potatoes in half. Slit the half and push sides apart to make a cavity. Fill with stuffing. Bake for another 20 minutes. And indulge yourself in divinity!

Muffins

We are on paleo for thirty days. It's hard to ignore the temptation when you're at Young Women's and they have a whole truck load full of junk! Too bad, my favorite food is garbage :) Since we've started this diet we've found a few delicious recipes. And they're all grain free and sugar free! Carrot cake, lemon muffins, coconut biscuits (these are OK), and apple cinnamon muffins. I'm going to try some banana bread soon too. Unfortunately I don't have time to post the recipes (schoolwork:() so I will post them tomorrow.
