Going Primal - My 90 Day Journey to Health

Love the concept of the bacon bowl but it's been suggested that you can do this with a muffin tin and have something a little smaller, equally effective, and more portable, and it may only use one strip of bacon. I plan on trying it myself, later on.

 

has anyone tryed the coliflower mashed potatoes???
the wife also made a pizza and she used coliflower as the the crust and it was dam good!!!!
ITs a think crust of course

 

NICE!!!
She also makes me some bread sticks its the pizza crust ,the the pissa toppings ...
I like to dip it in some sauce and put some parm cheese on it ....
I would share recipiec nut i dont do the cooking the wife does it !!!!

She is trying to make some french fries by freezing the shit {whatever it is} and cutting it but i dont think it is working out to well cause i aint got none yet!!!!!! but anyway it is good

you cant convince the kids it is coliflower!!!!

 

I bought a head of cauliflower this weekend and I'm going to make it this week. The spaghetti squash was a big hit, so I'm optimistic about these "mashed potato" wanna-bes too! Still working on the tortilla and pizza dough idea...

 

hey i am a big pizza critic and the pizza was great espicaly for what it is !!!!

Try just making cheesey bread sticks to start and then try the pizza
trust me im no health freak and dont take change very well and i loved it !!!!

 

Just a quick update on the Ginger Ale. Made a new 2 liter batch 4 days ago. It "aged" for 48 hours in a cool dark place, and went into the fridge, and is continuing the aging process. In about a week we'll crack one and begin the "laborious" process of drinking our primal Ginger Ale.

 

I make cauliflower "faux"-tatoes frequently. Fresh cauliflower works best. Frozen cauliflower is OK, but tricky because of the water content and the softness imparted on the cauliflower by the freezing process. I have three picky eaters in my house, my kids, and they cannot get ENOUGH of the faux-tatoes.

A few tips:
Cook the cauliflower florets until just done (still somewhat firm).
Make sure you pat them dry with a clean towel to reduce any additional unwanted moisture
Use a potato ricer over a food processor or blender, the texture is better.
We add roasted garlic and a touch of Parmesan cheese.

 

My wife made the cauliflower mashed potatoes. Even the kids ate it and they don't like cauliflower (broccoli yes, cauliflower no, go figure).

Superbowl sunday we spend the day making meals (or at least the meat portion) for the week.
Paleo meat balls (beef & pork)
Turkey balls (buffalo style)
Turkey Parmesan Balls
Pork Chops
Turkey Legs w/ stuffed jalapeno (and for the little ones we did stuffed the snack sized sweet peppers)

Funny thing is I was grilling some of it in the lovely 32* weather we were having, the week before I was out grilling in 20* weather. Yeah, I love some grilled food.
Might do some salmon this weekend, been a while since we've had salmon

 

and get that bacon deep fried in thr fryer !!!
Also my favorite drink besides a cold glass of water is captain morgans and diet coke .... no carb !!!!

 

Good points, I gave up diet cokes 2 weeks ago. had one day in the store checking out I thought, 'hmm, that DC would taste great right now.' I waited and and a glass of water at home instead. If I'm thirsty, DC ain't gonna quench that!

 

I just ordered the blueprint and cookbook from the library. I met with a natural healer/doctor last week and it wasn't good. I am going to have to start a whole new way of cooking. My first thought was @melbo 's primal threads. I getting the cook book to check it out and if the ingredients are on my okay to eat list then I will purchase it and toss out my no-longer-an-option Fanny Farmer cookbook

 

Well I started this morning using what I read here so far. Can't give up my energy mix though it has sugar but no high fructose corn syrup so I guess its better. What about Honey? Since I'm on this boat its gonna be hard to follow this diet as meat potatoes and few canned veggies is about the only thing we get that isn't possessed with soy
