Positive Paleo comments from real people

Came across a brief article today where people have made comments about the paleo diet. I think the first comment says it all really. IBS is one of the reasons I started to look at this diet in the first place. I don’t suffer badly from it, but my wife does. Since she moved over … Continue reading →

Paleo Breakfast bars

During my research for recipes, I came across the Paleo Breakfast site. I found a great looking kind of granola bar recipe and wanted to give it a go. The original recipe is below. http://paleobreakfast.co/paleo-breakfast-bars-%E2%80%93-paleo-mornings-on-the-go which is actually a recipe from http://www.elanaspantry.com/breakfast-bars/. These are really really nice. I think I need to work on the temperature and … Continue reading →

Paleo Slow Cooker Lamb Rogan Josh

So, when we set out on this paleo journey, our main challenge was to make our meals as varied as possible. It used to be so easy to just pick-up a ready meal or something that had been basically made for you like a battered chicken. Not the healthiest way to eat.

I came across a very nice recipe for a simple tomato ketchup from the Paleo Diet Lifestyle site. http://paleodietlifestyle.com/homemade-paleo-condiments/#s9 I have converted … Continue reading →

Meatloaf!

We used to eat meatloaf quite a bit but for some reason it completely dropped out of our usual repertoire. So I tried to create a paleo version and was really pleased with how it turned out! 2 leeks – chopped 1 onion – chopped 200g mushrooms – diced 500g beef mince 1 egg 3 … Continue reading →

Slow cooker BBQ pork shoulder – mmmmmmm

Tonight’s dinner will be a slow cooked pork. Already put it in the slow cooker on high. I have kind of followed the guide from the Paleo diet lifestyle site, http://paleodietlifestyle.com/slow-cooked-pork-roast/, but with my own twist. Will post later what I thought.

Sausages – Are there any that I can eat now I am doing Paleo?

I really like sausages and have never really paid a whole lot of attention to the contents of them. The Paleo diet has changed this and the way that I look at products in general, and I now have to look at the ingredients. I was surprised to find that there seemed to be no … Continue reading →
