Dinner isn’t complete without a big side of vegetables! For your next dinner, try these Paleo Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus.
Making a new dish can be like going on a little adventure. I prefer trying new recipes on weekends, when I actually have more free time to photograph it and maybe share it with a friend or family member. First you should pick the flavor you’re in the mood for. For instance I’d say this meal gives an Italian feel. A few weeks ago I was craving Mexican, and I made Salsa! Then comes the grocery. If you really want an adventure, go to a few groceries and find the freshest ingredients. Food adventures are some of the best adventures. Enjoy the process and go all in with it! I like to play classical or coffee house music when I’m cooking. If you make your meal an experience, you will feel more satisfied and it will improve your relationship with food….

Paleo Mixed Green Salad with Cranberries
You know a dish is good for you when there are this many colors in it! This Paleo Mixed Green Salad (with Cranberries, and goat cheese) is full of antioxidants and just overall ah-mazing.
When you start eating healthier, your taste buds change. Dramatically. I love to remind people I didn’t start eating greens or meat until I was like 16 years old. But when I started introducing new healthy, real foods and eliminated the over-stimulating unhealthy foods, magic happened. I mean have you ever thought about how over-stimulating unhealthy foods can be. Many are just a combination of unhealthy fats, tons of sugar, and salt. All which send rewards to your brain, saying YES! But you can’t hardly taste the flavor with all of the stimulation. After some adjusting, those foods start to lose their appeal. It isn’t hard for me to say no to chocolate cake anymore. Just give me a Kale Salad with some hard boiled eggs on top, and I’ll be set.

Paleo French Fries
Are you looking for something to replace your favorite salty snack? I think I found the answer! Paleo French Fries! These fries are not your typical fries. Instead of being made with potatoes, they are made from jicama.
What’s jicama? It’s a root vegetable with few calories but many nutrients. It’s a great alternative for fries and can be cooked in many different ways. Basically it’s my new favorite veggie, and I’m excited to be adding it to my palate!
What to serve with these? Bunless burgers, steak, Paleo nuggets! My friends on the College Primal Challenge said these helped them forget about their fast food cravings!…
