Thanks for the food ideas!
Now that it's just DH and I again, I'll have more time to cook!

Kelly- the salad sounds great!!

Ouiz- ill check out the Paleo site when I get home. Thanks!

I use tofu cheese by veggie shreds and either it's really good or I'm just used to it.

New favorite though is bacon broccoli salad.

One stalk of broccoli chopped
red onion (the amount varies depending on how strong the onion is)
1/2 lb of bacon cooked and crumbled

mix together 3/4 cup of home made mayo,
1 clove garlic (pressed or minced)
1 TBS of balsamic vinegar

toss everything together and enjoy. I've been adding a chopped tomato to my bowl just before I fill it with broccoli salad and it makes it like a BLT (with broccoli) in a bowl.

Mmmmmm

Flavia · 08-26-2012, 06:50 PM

yummo,
bacon and broccoli is a marriage made in heaven

BarbDe · 08-26-2012, 06:53 PM

I'm getting ready to start a strict paleo challenge with the folks from my gym, September 17th.
Goodbye Dairy!

I'm going to host a condiment making party the Friday before

Wish me luck!!

Flavia · 08-26-2012, 07:00 PM

That is sooo cool. I looked into crossfit gyms here and they are way to expensive....over 20dollars per session....3sessions a week times 4.....no way can we afford that.

I have never heard of a condiment party????? wth????? lolololol

BarbDe · 08-26-2012, 07:42 PM

Wow! That is high. Ours is $150/month. Unlimited classes. Still expensive. But my son owns it and is my trainer. I get a good deal! ;-)

Well, I am trying to figure out how I can stick to this challenge for 9 weeks! I'm gonna need some sauces! LOL! I have friends coming over with their food processors! ;-)

TuscanGirl · 08-26-2012, 08:58 PM

Kelly - what is your mayo recipe?

I'd use liquid aminos for the worcestershire sauce instead of soy sauce pretending to be a purist but really trying to be gluten free.

But I probably wouldn't make my own ketchup or mustard since Simply Heinz Ketchup has the same ingredients and French's mustard is pretty close!

BarbDe · 08-27-2012, 05:23 AM

Thanks Mary Kay! Where do I find Liquid Aminos? And I'll look in to the ketchup! Appreciate the tip!

Flavia · 08-27-2012, 06:51 AM

I also use liquid amino's ...I can't do soy for intestinal problems....I get mine where I also find Bragg's ACV. my liquid amino's are also Bragg's. I get it at the health food store.

TY for the link. Bookmarked it already

kellydawne · 08-27-2012, 07:10 AM

The aminos I buy are "coconut aminos" and coconut secret is the brand. I get them at the same little store that also sells braggs acv, I would think you could order them if you can't find them locally. (We have a small grocery store that is more health oriented)

Look at the ingredients on the condiments you use all the time. A lot of them will be okay. I don't like ketchup, so I don't worry about that one, but otherwise, the only thing I make on a regular basis is mayo to avoid the questionable oils (especially soy) and because I like it better. I make BBQ sauce when I want it, but I buy mustard and I usually buy a horseradish (from the refrigerated section) that has good ingredients.

Don't forget, the things you make yourself won't have preservatives so the shelf life will be much much shorter if they have things that are perishable. (like your mayo or BBQ sauce)

TuscanGirl · 08-27-2012, 08:47 AM

Kelly - do you make your mayo with coconut oil?

I've looked for the coconut aminos, but haven't seen it locally.
The Braggs was easy to find.

kellydawne · 08-27-2012, 09:49 AM

I mix it up with my mayo depending on my mood. I mostly use light olive oil (you know, the refined kind without much taste) because it has a milder flavor, but I have used some coconut oil, or even bacon grease. The texture is funny (IMO) though if you don't have mostly a liquid oil. (So, like one and a half cups of olive oil and a half cup of a melted solid oil worked okay)
I use the recipe from Julia Child's original cookbook and it turns out perfectly pretty much every time.

I buy coconut aminos because that's what I can find locally. Looking at netrition here though, it looks like the liquid aminos are about half the price of the coconut ones.

Almost 2 months

100% Paleo
Lovin all the benefits.

Was gifted Practical Paleo by my beautiful daughter
who kicked my keister 2 months ago to begin the
journey back to health.

Cheers

kellydawne · 09-04-2012, 07:07 AM

Just realized, I never actually posted the mayo recipe...

Mayo (adapted from Mastering the Art of French Cooking)
2 egg yolks
lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or other vinegar
mustard (optional)
salt
1 1/2-2 cups of oil

Beat egg yolks until they look thick and sticky, add ingredients except oil continue beating, eggs yolks should still look thick, very slowly drizzle oil in while continuously mixing, the mayo should emulsify. There are fixes in various places if it "breaks" but the only time that happened I just added stuff to it and turned it into a runny salad dressing.

TuscanGirl · 09-04-2012, 02:18 PM

Thanks Kelly!!

I had wheat the other day and it didn't agree with me at all!
Back on the wagon!

I may have to get to the library and check out the book for the 3rd time!

Shantony · 09-09-2012, 04:51 PM

Is coconut allowed on Paleo? I have been surviving on its creaminess and I am worried that its too delicious to be good for me. LOL

They say its Omega 6's but didnt Dr. Cordain say Omega 6's are bad?

buttoni · 09-09-2012, 07:03 PM

Yes, it is allowed, Shantony.

Shantony · 02-22-2013, 02:49 PM

I'm still here. I had a rough holiday eating wise but I'm back on track.

mamasooze · 02-22-2013, 06:01 PM

Still doing OK. Been doing the higher fat, lower carb, medium protein. Meat/veggies/salad with occasional starches--sweet potatoes and GF pasta. Hardly any cheese, only mozzarella and goat cheese. Love this WOE. Not a whole lot of thought- just eat good stuff.

Shantony · 02-27-2013, 11:09 AM

I've over the cravings. I had the carb flu pretty bad. I thought I would never be free.

Right now I am in a Williams coffee shop at school, not eating or drinking anything. The smell isnt making want the baked goods being sold. Rather. I'm like "Yuk" that stinks. I ate a small tiny can of lemon pepper tuna before coming here and I'm good. Yay!!!!!

why am I here? Only place there was a table and an outlet free in this building.

Trigger828 · 05-17-2013, 10:31 AM

Hi guys
Is Paleo basially the same as the Primal Blueprint I have been reading about?
I was atkins, lost 32 lbs
then I tried JUDD and it was a nightmare of carb cravings and weight gain almost
now back to low carb/atkins type

but I have been checking into Primal Blueprint. Paleo seems almost the same in a way.
Am I right in that assumption?
thanks for any info

TuscanGirl · 05-17-2013, 03:55 PM

Yep!

Trigger828 · 05-18-2013, 04:24 AM

thanks. alot the similiarities were very close

and I thought atkins was restricted and severe some days.

Primal takes the prize lol

TuscanGirl · 05-18-2013, 05:56 AM

Primal is easy if you think about it.
If it's advertised on TV or comes in a box, don't eat it!

Trigger828 · 05-18-2013, 07:59 AM

LOL ok. that makes sense definitely.

what about something like raisins? they are in a box

would primal eat that?

I just saw a paleo detox salad on the internet.

I made "my version" for lunch since I could not just jump right in and go whole hog.

1/4 cup fresh raw broccoli chopped fine
1/2 cup fresh raw caluliflower chopped fine
50 ML raisins
1 carrot shredded
1 oz sunflower seeds (I only had roasted salted this time, but will buy fresh)

It said to use squeeze fresh lemon juice but I used 1 tablespoon of ranch.

so out of it all did I do Primal 'kinda' ok with jumping into this way of eating?

I am super stuffed and I feel almost healthy after eating it LOL

TuscanGirl · 05-18-2013, 12:35 PM

Good job!!
