Paleo Detox!

If you're like me, you ate a few more carbs on Christmas than you usually like to. And if you eat Paleo, that means you may have eaten forty where you usually eat ten! No matter, we're ready for what we call Paleo Detox. But the good news is--that means we just spend a few days eating strictly Paleo.
 

Now, personally, I need to wean off the bad foods. So here's what I came up with for a good fairly strict meal that still managed to give me the savory sensations of a carb-loaded experience. First I chop up and sautee onions and mushrooms. Here they are in the pan, awaiting their marching orders.
 

Then I steam some broccoli. Broccoli is just always a good vegetable to throw next to a piece of meat.

Then, because I need something extravagant and savory, I broil ribeye steaks. Here they are before I put them under the fire.


 

And here's the meal on my plate. Broiled Ribeyes, smothered in sauteed mushrooms and onions. The mushrooms are the only thing here that contribute any measurable carbs.

And that's okay. Tomorrow we'll be even stricter.

Paleo Ideas: Goulash!

Goulash is such a comfort food. But those noodles are just not Paleo!

I've not yet found an acceptable non-carb noodle. There are products out there that claim to be low-carb pasta, with technologies that make the grain not give up its carbs. I'm not convinced.

So here's my non-noodle Paleo Goulash:

Steam a head of Cauliflower. Drain and set aside.

Cook a pound of ground meat. I used Buffalo. You could use Beef. Strain excess oil, set aside.

Caramelize one large onion.

Mix all these together into a saucepan with a carton/small can of condensed Cream of Mushroom soup. I added a few tablespoons of sour cream as well.

Mix it all together, reheating til hot.

Here is it with a side of Spinach:
