paleo way of life

so i'm trying this new 'way' of life. i'm sure many of you have heard of it -- the paleo way of life. paleo meaning paleolithic era -- aka cavemen. basically i'm taking out grains (wheat, barley, rye, oats, etc.), dairy (cheese, milk, yogurt, etc.) and legumes ( beans and such). it's designed around what was first brought about to eat in the paleolithic era. in all honesty... it's going to be HARD. but i am totally up for the challenge. on saturday i made a few meals to test out... i had to make my OWN tortillas... and how you might ask did i do that? well i purchase almond flour and coconut flour. it's a totally different type of consistency -- so light, no density at all. but it actually turned out. i also made my own pizza crust. i was really proud of myself... becoming domestic and all. haha but not eating bread that is so readily avaliable to you... or eating a slice of cheese.... ugh. HARD HARD HARD. i'm a fairly healthy eater; however, after starting to read, "The Paleo Diet" i started to realize how bad certain thing i had been eating are terrible for you. i'm excited to really start to read in depth and cook more and more recipes from my new cookbook! i honestly am so excited because 1. it's something new. 2. i love cooking. 3. it's healthy! oh yeah. i've got this. you may be seeing me posting random recipies on my blog and such so be prepared. :)
