Tuesday Treats: I don't think so...

Oh, I know you come here looking for Paula Dean inspiration and Martha Stewart yumminess. This Paleo experiment we just finished (last night) has not left me with anything to share. I'm not saying that everything has been terrible, but I'm saying that I don't want to be responsible for spreading the recipes I've used for my family the past two weeks.

I love that we've developed some new clean eating habits. We will continue to eat more fresh ingredients. But, I'm going back to some of my tried and true meals, even if that means feeding my family atrocities like cooking soups and stocks.

I can say I tried. I've cooked meats I never had thought of cooking. I've sliced and grated more vegetables the past two weeks than I ever imagined. If you doubt me, you should know that last night I made meatballs from ground turkey, shredded red onion, shredded zuchini and chopped pine nuts. The meatballs were cooked on top of crushed tomatoes and spinach leaves. See?! I didn't take any shortcuts in this experiment.

One of the items we will be keeping from this experiment...

This is great on everything you would eat with peanut butter. It's an awesome substitute for fatty PB. I can't wait to try all the other flavors.
