It is from "Practical Paleo" and you can find the recipe with a little review here. Easy and quite yummy - I've made it with capers and without and like both equally well.

It is from "Practical Paleo" and you can find the recipe with a little review here. Easy and quite yummy - I've made it with capers and without and like both equally well.
B: 3 eggs scrambled with lox, blueberries, one slice of Ezekial raisin toast
did a 12K fairly strenuous x country ski, during which time I ate a Luna Bar
L: There was a line snaked around the lodge to get food (which is very good), so we headed back toward home and stopped at a place we've gone to on rides, in Groton, but it's not open Sundays, when we are usually driving/riding by. I had a bowl of butternut squash soup, and DH and I shared a "pizzeta," which was a mini pizza, with tomatoes, artichoke hearts, proscuitto. I had 2, 4 inch pieces.
D: friends came over for dinner. As usual, the skiing made me ravenous, so I probably ate too many appetizers, some Machengo cheese, yellow pepper, and hummus. Had one chicken thigh with a spicy rub, roasted asparagus, sweet potato, and a green salad with vinaigrette, 2 glasses of red wine. Had a very small amount of chocolate and chocolate chip gelato.
B: piece of raspberry coffee cake
shredded wheat and blackberries with milk
L: small bowl of potato soup
D: salsbury steak with veges, 2 glasses red wine

45 minute very hard interval work out on the trainer

Carnitas from Well Fed?
No, actually. I bought prepared carnitas from Costco. The ingredient list was OK, so I figured they would be good to have in the freezer for emergencies. I probably wouldn't have eaten them on a Whole30 had I planned ahead, but they were already defrosted when I started this round, so I didn't want to waste them. They are good...but not Well Fed good.
Time to make the carnitas again.

D: beef stew with acorn squash, mixed greens salad with olive oil and vinegar
GLC did you make the coconut flour tortillas? I have been shy about trying!
I did. They are from Paleo Comfort foods. They are extremely simple to make, but time consuming to cook. You need a good, new-ish nonstick pan or they are very frustrating. I usually do it with two pans at once to speed up the process.
Though, I think next time, I'll try using my best cast iron skillet.
The recipe makes a ton, so I halved it this time and it was perfect for just me (it made 7 - 8 small tortillas).
Actually, I just found this online: (same recipe)
http://simplypaleo.com/2012/04/26/ho...our-tortillas/
I don't have the cookbook....and I don't have a non-stick pan! I know, that is almost sacrilege, but I prefer stainless steel. Now that I think about it, I've a tiny non-stick skillet I use when I go camping for the camp-stove. It doesn't get used much so it should be fine. I will try that recipe Saturday :) Our Funday workout this week is on Saturday and he has already warned us that it is going to be "conditioning" day - he doesn't often give us such warnings so I can likely afford the treat for dinner :)
I've been resisting getting another cookbook, what do you think of that one? Is it significantly different from the recipes offered in Well Fed and Practical Paleo? I also have the Caveman e-cookbook, I find I don't care for those recipes as much.
I like Paleo Comfort Foods. I think it's my second favorite after Well Fed and slightly ahead of Everyday Paleo (because the photography is way better). I was actually expecting not to really use it all that much because most 'comfort foods' just don't appeal to me. BUT, the book has tons of recipes for basics like ketchup, tortillas, nut based pie crusts, etc. Every thing I've made from the cookbook has been excellent. There is a paleo chili that uses two different cuts of beef that is really wonderful. And a sweet potato pie that I took to work for the holidays and all the non-paleo people raved about! There is also a delicious spiced nuts recipe that was a big hit at our last party, too.
I think the assortment of recipes is similar to Make it Paleo and the photography is of the same excellent quality, but I've never had a dud from Paleo Comfort foods and I've had two of them from Make it Paleo (where the recipe failed...not that we just didn't like it).
I don't have Practical Paleo though, so I can't compare it to that one. (yet) Oh, and I haven't made anything from the Cavemen e-cookbook either - nothing inspired me!
