Kitchen Buddies

How great to see your progress into the Paleo Diet. If you are eating what Polly eats you can't be to far off. When I joined this group I was grain free and basically eating a diet made up of lots of fruits and vegetables, a few nuts and moderate amounts of meat. From going from learning that I needed to be gluten free from Dr. Fine’s tests to a grain free, dairy free, soy free, processed food free diet in the year before coming here was a great adventure. The Paleo diet was not much more than a few tweaks away . Along with Polly my change of diet never had anything to do with will power. After deciding that diet was the key there was never any going back. I simply can not eat those foods any longer without dire results. I eat vegetables breakfast lunch and dinner so as compared to the past eat a lot more vegetables. I eat meat with every meal but in only medium amounts. I would guess in that I fill up on lots of vegetables that I eat less meat than I did before MC.

Along with Polly I feel that getting as many Omega 3 oils is very important and have had gratifying results. The only supplement I take is fish oil in summer and cod liver oil in the winter. It has helped enormously with a dry skin problem I have had problems with ever since moving to Denver. I get lots of sunlight in the summer months but this time of year as work picks up and I am inside more than outside under florescent lights the additional Vitamin A and D form the cod liver oil is a great help. Once I turn on the furnace it is drier here yet so lots of attention to skin care goes along with the supplements. Additional omega 3 has made a great difference .

Lean Natural Pork is a regular part of my diet. In that it is so lean I have had to learn how too cook it so that it is not dried out. I usually cook it with lots of vegetables but I am open to anything that works

I am always looking for new MI recipes so I am intrigued by your pork chop recipe.

I look forward to your posting it.

Love

Matthew

P.S. If you compose your posts in you word processor and then do a copy and paste into the board window, even if they disappear into cyberspace you will still have them in your word processor. Only a bit cumbersome but safe.

Hi Shirley and Matthew (and Polly, too),

Thanks for the word processing tip; I'll do that. Right after I send this I'll type the recipe into the recipe file. The original calls for flour, I substitute a little cornstarch, only because I don't have arrowroot right now. Tapioca also would work for a thickener, I guess. I really hope you try it, it's foolproof and I think really good - my new favorite recipe when I think I can't eat another mouthful of meat. (Since I eat so much of it, it gets old, you know what I mean?)

I don't eat eggs, or dairy, or beans + grain, so it's just meat, meat, meat for protein.

Love, Marsha
