Paleo Diet Raises a Lot of Questions
What a response from last week!
If you’re just tuning in, last week I wrote about my experiment with the Paleo Diet, eating the way our ancestors ate. This diet is comprised of food our bodies were meant to consume: animal protein, vegetables, fruits and healthy fats—completely avoiding grains, dairy and legumes.
As I said last week, I am not attempting to change your mind about any one way of feeding your body, just enlightening you on the basics of Paleo eating. Since last week’s column, I received nine emails, all questions regarding the diet.
You know how I feel about questions: They must be answered.
Jaime, where do you shop and what do you buy? I need a list!
Unless I stop off at a farmers market, I shop at three places: Trader Joe’s, Henry’s and Costco . Here are my basic lists for each store, feel free post them on your fridge.
Trader Joe’s:
Nuts/seeds (raw cashews, walnuts, raw pepitas, almonds, sunflower seeds, walnut pieces). Frozen mangos. Organic frozen strawberries. Organic frozen veggies, good for throwing in Crock-Pot. Fresh guacamole, a cheap way to get your avocados. Dried fruit: raisins, prunes, apricots, peaches, figs. Canned tomatoes, make your own salsa or marinara meat sauce. Almond meal. Plain applesauce. Nut butters, like sun butter or almond butter. Frozen wild fish: Alaskan cod and Oregon sole. Canned wild salmon. The larger can is cheaper because it has the soft, edible bone. However, you won’t notice them and they’re actually fun to eat! Almond milk and coconut milk. Spices. 21 Spice Salute is great and salt free. Tea.Henry’s:
All fresh fruit and vegetables. Three-pound bag of apples, oranges, grapefruit, bananas, grapes, kiwi, pears, plums, melons, Swiss chard, cabbage, fresh raw beets, celery, mushrooms, yams, sweet cherry tomatoes, onions, garlic, eggplant, peppers, Brussels sprouts, leeks, bok-choy. Coconut products: oil, shredded organic coconut in a jar. Canned wild sardines. I like the marinara. Specialty items that are hard to find in conventional stores. The bins. Depending on if certain items are on sale, I will buy nuts, seeds, dried fruit (make sure no added sugar).Costco:
Meat.Crockpot Oatmeal Recipe - News
Really good! Crock-Pot pork roast or chicken. Throw in a can of tomatoes, onions, garlic, peppers and maybe a chopped yam. Let it cook all day and see what you get. Again, look up some healthy Paleo recipes if you're getting bored with the menu.
Went to the parents Sunday, Mom had made a Rachel Ray recipe (not usually a fan) for slow cooked Mexican chicken. Chicken breast, cream of mushroom soup, taco seasoning in a crock pot for 6 hours, last hour you put sour cream in. Not bad actually.
