Meal Time

For some the thought of the paleo diet can be scary. Not just from the items you have to cut out but also trying to find quality ingredients like grass fed meats and organic veggies. It should be noted though that even if you cannot find grass fed meats and a good quality of organic veggies just following the protocol can be very helpful.

One thing that has been very helpful for me is meal planning. I will admit though I haven't been very good as of late. We have been doing a lot of moving and life gets kind of crazy around moves. When I meal plan I tend to spend less and end up with more. I think that meal planning is also a good thing for me and my family because it doesn't leave us questioning what to make. We know that we have picked out 3 meals a day, some being leftovers from previous meals. We even do try to make a daily plan of what we will eat but if I'm not feeling like meatloaf at dinner tonight and would rather have spaghetti and meatballs then I simply switch. 

I think another reason I have not jumped back on the meal planning bandwagon in earnest is from the simple fact that I have a whole bunch of new paleo cookbooks. I am trying things all the time and discovering what we like and what we don't. So far I don't think anything hasn't been loved or well liked by the family. Well, I suppose there was the ahi tuna steaks, but that was from our preference for other fish. 

Well for now I should go but hopefully the next post will be an actual meal post with pictures. 

Until Later
