quick tips...

I do not have time for a full entry, but want to write some great tips that have helped me during my first delicious week of the paleo challenge:

-Trader Joe's light coconut milk is the best for coffee (to replace cream). Just pour right outta the can, keep it in your fridge, and it won't chunk up like the thick stuff.

-Broccoli makes a great substitute for rice. We poured a chicken curry dish over a bed of broccoli and it did not taste like anything was missing. But, I am pretty sure the broccoli was the culprit in giving me mad gas.

- Have hard boiled eggs on hand for a quick protein.

-Save the fruit for dessert. Although this might be enabling my dessert addiction, for now, it is so great to approach a nice (very small portioned) dessert of frozen raspberries and coconut milk (or something similar), with the satisfaction of knowing that I hadn't had any fruit all day. Eventually, I will probably want to get out of the 'dessert' mindset, but for now, it is glorious for my fruit serving to cap off my delicious day!



Hope someone finds this useful, inspiring, or at least a not-wasted way to waste your time.
