I haven't posted to this blog in quite a while!
The hardest part of sticking to a paleo diet for me, is when I don't prepare ahead of time i.e. shopping and a meal plan- so that I always have the right food around. So, here are my 7 paleo meals for the upcoming week, using recipes from so many of the paleo blogs I follow and love. I am avoiding almond flour right now, because I think it might not agree with me. I only planned 7 meals, because I hope to have enough leftovers to do me for lunches. I will also probably end up cooking a non-paleo starch for my family. They are not on board yet. Breakfast is generally an egg scramble, with breakfast sausage, vegetables, mushrooms and avocado.
Meal 1:
My own Crockpot Asian Chicken Thighs
(easiest meal ever)
-put about a quarter cup of coconut aminos, the juice of 1 orange and some honey in the crockpot
-add chicken thighs
cook on low about 6 hours
Steamed broccoli
