I hope you enjoy my website and my recipes. I am always checking out recipes. There are so many choices these days.
It has been almost a year that I have switched to a primal/paleo diet. Yes, I do have some bread or pasta – just not very often. I find at this time of year I want to eat those goodies that we only have at Christmas time. To do that, I don’t try, but do stick to eating the right foods, the healthy choices. You’ll find that I use full fat everything. No margarine, no hydrogenated oils, lots of nuts. My sweeteners of choice are honey, maple syrup or agave. My cupboard is stocked with olive oil, grapeseed and coconut oil. My go to flours are almond and coconut. I find that often the low-fat alternatives are full of sugar and additives that are suppose to make up on their lack of flavor, but really don’t. Food really does need to taste good. By starting with the right ingredients, the taste will be amazing. That’s what I strive for with each recipe. For me, eating the correct serving size (which can be hard to do) and choosing the right foods have made me healthier. Yes we all have our health challenges – but keep looking for the answer. What works for me, may or may not work for you. So these are my opinions. My breakfasts are heavy on the protein. A couple of years ago I was headed towards diabetes if I didn’t change up my lifestyle. For me breakfast is the most important meal. I need to start it right. My lunch is usually a salad or a smoothie. Don’t you find it hard to eat salad when it’s cold? I do. So check out my Winter Salad. I love it! For dinner we usually have a serving of protein and one or two vegetables. Roasted vegetables are the best in my opinion. But don’t forget the nachos. Nothing beats those on a Saturday night when you want to just stay home and watch tv. So when you get to my family favorite cake recipes you will notice that they are made with the regular white flour. Tradition. I have tried making some of them with gluten-free flour, but have not really been happy with the outcome. I’m lucky that I don’t have any huge reactions to wheat. Life is about living. Food has to taste great!
