2 weeks down, 6 more to go!!!

Well, so far, so good. I am actually really enjoying the paleo food and feelin' pretty good. However, I find myself, from time to time, thinking about doing this strictly for 6 more weeks and become terrified. But, what is 8 weeks out of my entire life? I have eaten like shit for 31 years, I think giving my body a break for a couple of months is fair.

Meal Highlights:

Meat: Oh, thank God for Crying Rock Farms! I bought 4lbs of various delicious pork sausages. I had brats and mustard for dinner a couple of times, used the spicy chorizo for a soup recipe I found, and am thawing the breakfast sausage for a special morning this week. And I still have the polish sausage links in the freezer. Words cannot describe the taste of fresh, natural pork without all the crap that most companies shove in as fillers. Ah man.

Spaghetti: Yes, we ate tons of spaghetti.....spaghetti squash that is. Shout out to William Turbyfill for teaching me how to make use spaghetti squash as a healthier alternative to spaghetti noodles. Throw some sauce on that shiz, it is delicious. I personally like the texture of the squash over noodles, but some find is a little crunchy almost. This is a very simple, hearty meal, that I could eat almost every day.

Soup: Predicting that I would get sick of eating salad everyday for lunch (even though it was yummy), I decided to make a huge batch of soup. I made spicy sausage and sweet potato soup (recipe found at paleodietlifestyle.com), and it was pretty simple to make and full of flavor. I doubled up the recipe and saved 2 giant freezer bags full in the freezer. I even made my own stock out of "knuckles". Yeah, I don't even know what animal they belonged to, but they were recommended for stock-making by the lady at Dave's Market, and they were cheap.

*Crying Rock Farms is just a short drive away in Orting, Washington. Look for them at farmer's markets and the Pike Place Market. They also have rabbits, chickens, and other little cute delicious creatures.
