The Paleo Cookbooks

Turning Paleo was literally life-changing. As I've mentioned before in previous posts, I LOVE me some junk food. Whether its cake, cookies, ice cream, or pizza, scones, or churros, it was like asking me not to breathe when I was told I couldn't eat these anymore. Tyson is always so willing to try to help and make things easier on me, so he found a few cookbooks that would allow me to eat healthy, but fool my tastebuds into thinking it was the same junk I always ate.

Some things that have saved me that aren't in cookbooks - Plantain chips. They taste just like chips, only better. Thicker crunch, sea salt and none of the guilt. We get ours at Harmons because they make them fresh. We like to pair it with the homemade salsa they have available from their produce section. HEAVEN.

On to the cookbooks.

Our personal favorite:
The Primal Blueprint Series

Mark Sessions are ridiculously smart when it comes to the body and the reason we should eat Paleo. As a society, we see dinner and eating as a social activity. We love to go to dinner, have family barbecues, have Sunday Brunch. But why do we feed ourselves? We all know the body cannot survive without food. By eating Paleo, you are fueling your body, rather than eating things that taste good to us, but don't give the appropriate nutrients our bodies need. The Primal Blueprint series is a great way to learn about how the body works, how it absorbs nutrients, and what types of food we need to be putting into our bodies in order for us to work properly. We've also subscribed to Marksdailyapple.com, which is a website that sends daily motivation and recipes to your inbox! We have loved this journey thus far, especially because we have learned how to modify a recipe to make the food we eat be more of a fuel for our body rather than a fault.
