A Typical Day on the Paleo Diet

The Paleo Diet

If you haven’t heard of the paleo diet, you can read the What is the Paleo diet? post I wrote for Angie last week where I explain what the paleo diet is in more detail. But today I wanted to share what a typical day might look like on the paleo diet.

Why?

Because people who have never heard of the paleo diet always wonder exactly what you might eat when you can’t eat all those non paleo diet foods. So to make it easy I thought I’d just include some pictures of what a typical day of paleo meals might look like on my plate.

Nasoya: Cooking With Tofu

So the awesome company, NASOYA reached out to me to sample their products (I was sent coupons for free and discounted products) and because I love tofu and wanted to learn more about how to prepare it, I jumped at the chance to review while learning at the same time.  Of course I was so excited to have more tofu that I totally forgot to write anything down about how I prepared it oops.  But it was super good, just a simple recipe using honey, black pepper, paprika and a few other spices.  I have more tofu in the fridge so I will be making some this week. Yum!

Motivational Monday & Menu Plan

Kev and I didn’t figure out our meal plan for the week so we are going to play it by ear. Some of the meals we’ll have include pasta with his homemade sauce, fish and probably gumbo one night.  Not quite sure what else.  We are swamped this week so we are just going to go with the flow.

You can always head over to Menu Plan Monday though to get great ideas!  Do you have your menu plan up for the week?

Also, as you might have noticed, we have a very special guest Monday and Tuesday this week.  Dr. Mommy started her Healthy for the Holiday’s blog tour here on my blog.  I’m so excited for you all to get to know Daisy better. There are giveaways and I’m going to share with you in this post two yummy recipe ideas that Daisy sent along to share with my readers.  Keep reading below for the recipes.

Also, don’t forget to come back tomorrow for another awesome guest post by Dr. Mommy!

I have been motivated by Daisy to keep going on my journey.  Last night I had a major melt down (lots of crying and lots of hubby hugs) because I have gained weight and inches and now I have to buy all new clothes and bathing suits for our trip to Jamaica.  I’m sick over this not only because I worked so hard to get to where I was but also because of all the money I have to spend for new clothes.  This blog tour couldn’t have happened at a better time to get me motivated to just keep going.  I cannot change the fact that I have to buy new clothes but I won’t be in them for long and then I can either try to sell or donate them.  Gotta think positive!

Enjoy these two healthy recipes that Daisy has been kind enough to share with us.
