Paleo Noms Adventure

Welcome back from the long weekend :)

So, I wanted to wait to share this until I was a little more into it, but a couple of weeks ago, I read the book, Paleo Diet for Athletes and I decided I was going to try this lifestyle (I don't like to call it a diet because that implies in my head that I am going to stop it one day). I have jumped into it head first and I'm a lot happier with it then I thought I would be.

In the past, my day consisted of healthy meals + really unhealthy snacks aka a lot of chocolate, brownies, and jelly beans. Sometimes to the point where I would feel sick. I thought that I would have a really difficult time cutting all of this out, but fortunately, I've been amply satisfied with the Paleo-friendly foods I've been eating. AND for the first time in my life...hold your breath....I am COOKING. Thanks to my friend, Kate, I have been able to navigate a kitchen pretty decently. Here are some pictures of what I've made so far!

Sweet potato and Basil crusted Chicken// Turkey Burger and Sauteed Asparagus and String Beans

Avocado Deviled Eggs///Buffalo Chicken meatloaf from Paleomg.com

Egg Bake with Peppers, Spinach, Onions &Turkey bacon//Roasted Parsnips & Onions and Steamed Broccoli

Doesnt that make you hungry???
