Thanks for the shout out! :)<br />ok...paleo...I read all about it to my husband and he is really resistant (the treat lover of the household). but I think I could gradually transition he and my kids over. But I think, for my family, the best thing is keeping paleo in mind with out going full monty. SO I'm planning my menu for grocery shopping tomorrow and I am very happy to grab some things off your sample list above. thanks for writing more about this. I'm fascinated.

I've recently began suffering from idiopathic hives and I'm trying to eliminate so much from my diet (wheat, cheese, booze) but it has been so difficult and I've fallen off the wagon more times than I can count. Your stories have given me hope that while it can be difficult, it CAN BE DONE!<br /><br />Best,<br />Jennifer<br /><br />http://makesomerumi.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-56465935812422623552011-12-16T19:45:34.056-08:002011-12-16T19:45:34.056-08:00Molly, I'm looking forward to your recipes.

We're about to undergo some sea change in our diets as two of my children's blood tests revealed a list of food allergies (including eggs for my son, boo!) and gluten sensitivity for both. One of the kids is really resisting the idea of changing his wheat-heavy diet.

But I do have one question: do legumes (beans) fit into the Paleo diet or no? I get that they are a carbohydrate but most are high in protein and high fiber.

However, I can't say that for the rest of our meals.

(Why did I never consider cooking a variety of veggies at dinner? I have a kid who loves certain veg, but hates many others. Giving him a choice would make life much easier, and the rest of us veggie-lovers would enjoy the spread. It does sound like more cooking, but it's simple cooking…)<br /><br />Hey, regarding sorting your recipes, have you tried Evernote? I started using it a few months back, and am a huge fan! It's a (free) way of organizing content, both from websites and your own typed notes. You can even make notes on web content, which I find myself doing on recipes. And then you can organize it all according to your own topics. <br /><br />I can, for example, add this post of yours to my new veggie-laden dinner inspiration file! :-)patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344799869066551079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-86378919282903244652011-12-15T08:23:39.533-08:002011-12-15T08:23:39.533-08:00I need to get back on the Paleo diet.

It's so great you have buy-in from your husband, and looks like the kids are in now. <br /><br />I'm having a hard time convincing my husband, so it's harder for me to stick to it.

I'm so excited to have stumbled upon yo...Hello! I'm so excited to have stumbled upon your blog (while googling a grain-free granola recipe - I'm going to use yours with soaked nuts! Thanks!) I'm a mom of four (11, 7, 4, 2) who until this year was a full time homeschooler (we just moved to a district with Spanish immersion...otherwise I'd still be homeschooling. LOVE it.) I, too, recently went full out Paleo and brought the brood along with me. We started in July. The results have been UNBELIEVABLE. I'm in better shape than I was in college. My uber-supportive husband is down 35 lbs. and his blood lipids have TANKED. He has a congenital heart condition and is monitored frequently so we have before and after #'s that are mind blowing. As for the kids, they're thriving in a million ways and tummy troubles have gone away completely. I would never go back! Can't seem to get off my soapbox about Paleo, either. Such a simple change makes such monumental differences in all aspects of well-being. No brainer.<br /><br />Anyway, this is just a quick note to say how thrilled I am to have found someone doing what we're doing. I do feel isolated sometimes. I started a blog to document our journey, but it turns out, I've been truly awful at keeping up. I have 100 posts lined up ready to publish, but never find the time to put the final touches and tweaks on them. After the holidays, I'm going to kick it into gear. I've splurged on a lot of new Paleo cookbooks and gadgets recently and I want to publish my reviews.<br /><br />In any event, I'm looking forward to reading more about your Paleo journey. It is a bit of a conundrum because the time needed for blogging and the tenants of a Paleo lifetsyle are conflicting. But I believe it is so important to get the word out. It can be truly life changing. Thanks for posting! <br /><br />ps - vantiganloos: We sadly said goodbye to beer. But we've had fun discovering local wines, local hard ciders, and even local grain-free vodkas. :)Kimhttp://crispyliving.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-209903675136691762011-12-14T22:12:49.565-08:002011-12-14T22:12:49.565-08:00I love my Paleo diet and you are inspiring me to k...I love my Paleo diet and you are inspiring me to keep working on my kiddos and husband. I had been vegetarian for years, but did not feel my best. Now I couldn't feel better, and others have noticed. Also, I had not scrolled down far enough and told my husband that I loved your ring. Very nice, indeed.

I decided to go vegetarian in July. Like you, I've found the key to my new lifestyle is embracing the yeses (yay broccoli, spinach and banana 'icecream'!). Thanks to your story, I'm thinking about trying life without gluten and refined sugars for a couple weeks in January to see how I like it. I look forward to peeking at your recipes. :DMargueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16041432065293544336noreply@blogger.com
