The Paleo Project

Cauliflower Rice with Broccoli and Lemon Chicken ala Paleo


I re-read one of my favorite books entitled "Jemima J." by Jane Green. It gave me further inspiration to have will-power on the lifestyle that I have decided on. I don't have the funds for Marie France nor Bello. So, as my mother and father would say: the secret is to diet and exercise plus- stay away from our mini fridge where the chocolates are at! Ok, got it loud and clear. I started cooking my own food, more like gourmet style minus all the preservatives. Little did I know, the food I started to prepare for myself is popularly called The Paleo Diet When I started to research about it and check out some recipes, apparently I am not that hardcore (yet). When I mean by hardcore, I don't make my own mayonnaise (yet), nor do I use ghee or tallow. Olive Oil is my best friend when I want something fried, if I don't need oil- I thank the inventors of Teflon. So, I now started to challenge myself. Well, not enough recipes online so thank God for Amazon! I can't wait until my books arrive. I hope I do justice, with the next entries to come. And when I mean justice, I hope I see a change with myself- in terms of size, and health. I'm not going to turn Julie on all of you and do some Julie and Julia project. Although I totally applaud Julie for trying to emanate Julia Child in this day and age. I don't think Julia Child liked what Julie did. So in advance, to any hard core Paleo lifestlye person reading this don't hate me, I live in a country where fresh herbs are still a challenge to find (maybe I'm not looking in the right places) although the other usual ingredients are highly priced but I'd still buy them, since it's cheaper than a trip to the hospital for being un-healthy.

For this evening, I tried Lemon Chicken with Cauliflower rice and Broccoli. I'm happy to have two awesome recruits and my awesome cheerleaders in the name of Mom and Dad. Let's do this! Cheers to embracing change for the better!
