When I put this meal plan together, I realized that it includes both leg of lamb and lobster. The lobster was actually a Father's Day treat so, if you aren't feeling indulgent, simply sub another fish or meat to go with the salad. I cooked the lamb on a cooler day. It turned out great and was so easy. The tostadas are a definite favorite--I could eat Mexican every day of the week! And I am so excited about the paleo poppy seed dressing on the strawberry salad. Well, as excited as one can get about salad dressing, I suppose. :) I do love a good strawberry salad and now I don't have to skip the dressing--this one is simple and SO good. I also have to give the hot wings a mention. I put them on the dinner plate instead of as an appetizer and they were gone in a flash. Even my kids liked them!

DeleteHi! I am new to the paleo lifestyle and just found your site!!! The meal plans and recipes are going to come in handy for my husband and I! I have one question though...how much on average would you say you spend for each meal plan? We are newlyweds and on a strict budget! Let's face it, this lifestyle isn't cheap!!! I look forward to your feedback!! You have an amazing site!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Anon! Congratulations on your marriage--and for starting paleo! I'm so glad that the Paleo Table recipes and meal plans will be helpful to you. While paleo foods can be more expensive than processed or less healthy foods, we tend to buy in bulk as well as purchasing the majority of our meat straight from the farmer. We also joined a local CSA for seasonal organic veggies. I have never done a cost analysis, but it sounds like a great topic for a future post. That said, there are some meal plans that are less expensive than others. Ground beef, rotisserie chicken, and pork shoulder tend to be less expensive meats. And pulled pork goes a long way! If you simply can't afford organic or grass fed, just do what you can and buy conventional produce and lean meats. That is still better than buying processed foods. Whole foods rule. We are very rarely sick in our household and we expect that the investment we make in our health now will pay off manyfold as we get older. Hope that helps a little. Thanks for the nice note!
DeleteThank you so much!!! I will try to stick to those meats for now and I'm going to look into farms close by we can by directly from! Thank you so much :)!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat! My husband's company is close to launching an online site that will match consumers with local farmers. I will be announcing it on Paleo Table so keep an eye out! It will be a great help!
DeleteOk so I think it said almond flour for the tostada's.....my son is deathly allergic to nuts, is there a substitute? What's the deal on potatoes? None at all? Red? Or just sweet?? Thanks for the recipes!!!!
