Eat Like a Caveman!

Cooking Club was yesterday - and I was the hostess.

My turn!  My turn to turn my friends onto the wonderful world of paleo - or as we like to say 'eating like a caveman'.

I had the fleeting thought of building a fire in the yard, and as each guest arrived, handing them a bow and arrow, saying 'Have at it! You catch it, you eat it - oh, and by the way - I do believe the dandelions are up now in case you are hankerin' for a salad."

But I just had a feeling that wouldn't go over with this crowd.

In fact, I even gave them forks, knives, and plates.

This is some high falutin' primal eating.

Isn't this table that Glenco made for me awesome?

It cost us $3.

All we had to buy were some screws.

The lumber was 'reclaimed' from a dumpster.

That Glenco - he's worth his salt.

I really had fun with the tablescape.

Nothing like walking around the yard finding things to slap on the table.

The food was extremely delicious.

Please know that this is not a way that I eat every day - nor do I suggest that this is 'healthy'.

It's much higher in fat than I eat, or suggest eating.

But if you are looking for something that is non-allergenic, something that will sway you into getting away from grains and dairy - something that you want to use to 'celebrate' a certain event - I'd endorse it then.

Except for the cake.

Amen.

Bacon wrapped dates.

Chicken with a Mushroom Sauce

Mashed Cauliflower

Kale Salad

Caveman Biscuits (made with coconut and almond flour)

Dessert was stretching things a bit - but it was Cooking Club after all.

A flourless Chocolate Cake with Strawberries.

The meal was higher in fat than I typically eat, but it was a nice treat.

I took all the recipes from this cookbook:

Here's their website

I truly hope that you are either:

A.  Changing what you feed yourself

B. Seriously thinking and planning on changing what you feed yourself

or

C.  Getting a really good health insurance plan

I just watched this documentary online, and it was worth every minute.

VERY eye-opening, and if it doesn't motivate you to change, I'm not sure what will.

It's free online until March 31st.

Please take the time out to give it a look see.

Life is too short to eat crap, feel like crap, and look like crap.

Take care of yourself.

No one else is gonna do it for you.
