What did you eat today?

[GLC1968]

YES, agree with both of you! As our bodies adjust to real food, and well-sourced fats, they do seem to become less tolerant to bad foods and cra**y oils. Considering how much better I feel these days, it is worth it!

I'm in 100% agreement, too! I rarely eat out these days and when I do, I stick to known items so that I don't pay the price later on.

I have another cookbook recommendation for your folks - The Ancestral Table by Russ Crandall. It's a little less traditional paleo in that he does include white potatoes, rice and some cheese. He also uses a lot of gentle cooking methods, so there are not too many short cuts to be made. Gorgeous book and I marked a TON of recipes that I want to try. I've only made one recipe so far and it was delicious! (Colcannon - essentially mashed potatoes with leeks, kale and butter) My husband gobbled up the leftovers and usually if something has kale in it, he avoids it after the first serving!

Thanks, GLC, I'm developing a cookbook addiction! However, given the fact I work until 7 2 nights a week, not sure if I should get a cookbook that can't be modified with shortcuts.
