Have a Righteous Party on the Caveman Diet Plan (aka Paleo Diet)!

Standard

OK folks sit down for a few minutes as this one is going to take a while to explain.  I propose we adopt the Caveman Diet Plan, aka Paleo Diet Plan.  A big part of the paleo diet is to cut the grains out of your diet, even for breakfast.  That means no Captain Crunch and cartoons kiddo!  The paleo diet breakfast as with all meals replaces grains with proteins, fats, vegetables, and fruit.

I know you’re saying what the what?  Cut grains?  But I LOVE Captain Crunch!  Hold tight, you’ll need little more background info before you give the Captain the boot.

Instant Bean Salad

Standard

This is an extraordinary recipe I got from my friend and modified slightly to remove the processed sugar.  It takes seconds to make and tastes amazing! You can divide it up into little containers and take it with you on the go.

Ingredients

1 Cup Kidney Beans
1 Cup Black Beans
1 Cup Corn
3/4 Cup olive oil
3/4 Cup balsamic vinegar
5 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
Stevia add to taste, (usually about 4 tablespoons)

Directions

Take ingredients and mix up in large mixing bowl.  Divide up into small serving containers and eat!  I usually divide mine up into small 2 cup pyrex glasses and store them in the fridge for later eating.
