I'm Baaack

Well, after like, a bajillion years off, I'm back.  I've had 2 kids along the way and have gotten "fat," thus, it's time to focus on staying "strict" paleo and get ME back!

I hope to use this blog to keep on track, and also force myself to branch out from our "same 10 meals" menu.  If I know people are reading I'll be forced to put some new stuff on here...at least that's the theory.

During our four years of eating paleo, we've learned a few things:

1) It's not easy, but can be made very manageable.  Sure heating up a microwave dinner, or picking something up through the Drive-Thru is much easier, but with the right prep work a delicious paleo meal is not out of the question each night.  I'll share some tips each week.

2) It's nearly impossible to be STRICT paleo and live a normal life. Work, kids, husband, household chores, laziness, etc all get in the way.  There's no way in H-E-Double Hockey Sticks that I'm making my own mayo, bbq sauce, ketchup...you get the idea. Ain't nobody got time for that!

3) It's a lot easier to have kids eating paleo than we thought.  It actually makes life much easier, we all eat the same meal and that's that.  I don't have to make a billion things each night!

4) We feel SO much better when eating paleo.  Sure Five Guys is awesome, but it doesn't make your body feel very good.

So...with that said, here's to a year of new recipes, tips/tricks, and vivid dreams (all you paleo people know what I'm talking about)!  Cheers!
