Yummy Dinner
Paleo Biscuits & Gravy
I've been wanting to this one since we started this caveman lifestyle... I did the biscuits the night before and made the gravy this morning. I topped each biscuit with a touch of almond butter. Not bad! The biscuits were NOT a hit with my girls. They seemed a little dry, the biscuits that is, but for my first time baking biscuits from scratch, I think I did alright.
The gravy was perfect! The biscuits were fantastic with the gravy. We've been doing a lot of veggies, so we were out of mushrooms this morning. Substituted mushrooms with extra meat. Smelled so good, and tasted even better! Not the best pic, but final product below. No gluten at all in this recipe. Almond and coconut flour, coconut milk, meat, onions and garlic. Mushrooms will be a nice addition, but great without. Link to Biscuits and gravy recipe for an easy and delicious Paleo meal!

1/4 tsp mustard powder
1/4 tsp sea salt (optional)
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp paprika

Fantastic First Couple of Weeks!
Rebekah has been my life saver in this challenge! She's been actively conscientious about our diet. She's making this very easy for me. I'm eating so much more veggies and fruit. I don't think I've ever eaten so healthy. Lunch is usually the toughest part - finding a Paleo like meal from the diners can be tough at times. Boloco's bowls or Scali's kabobs are the basic go to meals I've been having. I had O'Deli's Grilled chicken and garden salad yesterday. Not bad, and a decent helping... I broke up the chicken with a fork and just ate it with the salad. Ate the whole salad, which I don't normally do. We had Leg of Lamb last night with Broccoli and Asparagus. Passing up mint jelly was a little difficult, but I did it! Callie and Ashley made up for what I didn't eat.... I'm down more than 2 pounds in 10 days. I've been weighing in after my workouts, even on day 1.
