A Paleo Father's Day

It seems quite fitting that our inaugural blog post happens to land on Father's Day since we owe so much of our Paleo journey, and ultimately our health, to my dear husband. Without him, we never would have started down this road and I am eternally grateful for his leadership and trailblazing in the area of our family's health.

Okay, enough of the mushy stuff...and on to our Father's Day menu!

For breakfast, we started off with a little Paleo biscuits and gravy. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the gravy. Although it called for an entire can of coconut milk, it didn't have a coconut flavor, which is what I was afraid of. The biscuits definitely had a coconut flavor, but I didn't notice it when the sausage and gravy were with it.

For lunch, we enjoyed fajitas (sans tortillas) at our favorite little Mexican restaurant.

For dinner, we had Carraway Chicken from the Everyday Paleo cookbook, but we substituted cabbage for the Belgian endive. The chicken was incredibly tender and tasty. And, since it was a crockpot meal, it only took about 5 minutes to put together!

And for dessert, we had strawberries with Honey Vanilla Cream. It. was. delicious. This is something that we'll definitely make again for special occasions. It ended up being pretty sweet, but great.

So, there you have it. Not a typical day necessarily with the baked goods and sweet treats, but we managed to indulge a bit without using ingredients that we don't typically use.

Happy Father's Day!
