Paleo Meal #1

My "first" Paleo dish
Tonight I decided to act on some of the reading I've been doing on this paleo "diet". Now, don't worry, I'm not going to post daily pictures of what I'm eating, but today feels new to me and I wanted to share.

I read that you should only need to visit the meat, fish and produce sections at the grocery store, so that's what I did. I marched in there, right past the bakery (sigh) and directly to the produce section. I picked up all kinds of vegetables and fruits, keeping in mind that I have to eat all of it in a week, before it goes bad. Then, off to the meat section, right past all of those frozen pizzas, ice cream and juices from concentrate. Here, I picked up Sirloin steaks, extra lean ground beef and chicken breasts. There, done!

Tonight I went to one of the resources I listed, that my friend Karina provided, paleodietlifestyle.com and found an easy recipe to try.TRUST me, this was SO good and I even made my own mayonnaise!

Chicken & Zucchini Hot Salad

This is a very simple hot salad featuring chicken and zucchinis, two items that go hand in hand with a lemon and garlic mayonnaise. Serves 4 people.
