Paleo & Proud

In 2010, we made a decision to eat better for no other purpose than to be healthier versions of ourselves. Like most who decide to change their diet, there was the desire to find food ideas, fast!

It can be very scary to learn that everything you thought you knew about proper diet & nutrition was all a lie. After the fear subsides, the feeling of hopelessness follows as you discover everything you shouldn’t eat. You get sad and quickly think about your grandmother’s Arroz con Gandules or your mom’s amazing Thanksgiving stuffing. We’ve discovered that those feelings & fears only stemmed from the little monsters that are constantly trying to find ways of making us fail.

Once we were able to bypass all of that internal drama, we realized the most amazing fact: Paleo is Awesome!

Not only is it awesome, it is easy! We get it; being told that you have a list of four food groups – and they’re not what you originally thought – seems like you’re “limiting” yourself tremendously. GREAT NEWS: YOU’RE NOT!!!

Yes, “Four Food Groups” – but, the key word is GROUP. A group is a collection of many! There are only 26 letters in the US alphabet, but endless word possibilities. The same is true about the Paleo diet: Four food groups with tons of foods comprising each group creating endless possibilities.

Sure, there are some “rules” and you want to understand the “right” way to do Paleo. Read, research, and learn!!! The “Don’t have time” excuse is old and when you really want something, you will always find the time to make it happen.

Our blog is something we’ve created to share recipes we’ve found & made, created ourselves, or found & changed. There are so many paleo recipe websites – but like any recipe collection, you can’t have too many!!!
