I love pork with plums. The combination just works for me!

Cherries and beef are a good combo as well.

I love pork (I do a lot of pork loins in the crockpot) with sliced apple (I don't cook the apple just slice it up and eat it fresh with the pork, and a side of cauliflower rice. It's a healthy spin on pork hops and apple sauce I suppose.
Another favorite is chicken with pinneape or watermelon and a side of asparagus, love this meal even though it sounds odd lol

Cauliflower rice has become my favorite staple when I crave comfort food. I take the cauliflower raw florets place hen in a food processor and out it on chop for like 20-30 seconds top. Take that (it should look like rice) and put in a frying lab with a smudge of coconut oil once its fried up a little unlike to add dried chives, basil, and garlic it's tasty.

I am going to create a list of possible combos, such as chicken and orange , not a fish fan but have been looking for some that I can tolerate , I don't eat out a lot so that makes it easier, but please share any favorites you have, love new ideas! thanks

The recipe makes six big waffles (3/4 cup of batter).. and it's per waffle... they are not low calorie! but they are made with "good for you" stuff and are a fantastic treat.... I had mine with some blueberries on top and a side of Chicken Breast which was my own version of "fried chicken and waffles" a southern dish... the whole meal was 413 calories and I felt like I was cheating big time! HA

Very new to Paleo (day 5). This week I cooked a turkey burger, the put a fried egg on top. Only one rough day with breakfast. I was juicing beet greens with Kale and put my Vitamix on high so my beverage was warm. It was not good, i could not wait for lunch.

This weekend I cooked up a bluefish fillet in the skillet for breakfast. A little ghee and a little tarragon and cardamom, and I was good to go. This morning I had Swiss chard (the last from my garden) sauteed up with fried eggs and a dollop of plain yogurt (for the pro-biotics).

Right now I'm not eating milk or cheese, but I will still eat quality yogurt from reliable sources (no Yo-Plait here). I limit the amounts, and only plain or vanilla.

Tell ya what I had tonight that was sooooo delicious! I grated a handful of walnuts, then used I as a coating on some tilapia.. Put a light coating of olive oil, grated on the walnuts. Placed it in a cast iron skillet with some raw mushrooms and baked it all at 350 for 10 minutes... It was so flipping good. Being a good southern girl... I am used to breading and frying everything. I found this to a lovely substitute. Much healthier. Yum!

Due to a recent injury, I haven't been able to cook for the last three months. You might imagine the challenges this raises for eating Paleo. My go-to breakfast is a large jar of mixed nuts. It worked for me while I was wheelchair bound at home and now that I'm back to work, it's a portable feast. The nuts also work for those munchie moments, when the breakroom goodies or vending machines are calling.

One of our teammates, JANAMP09, mentioned that breakfast was getting boring so I thought I would offer some meal ideas that I actually use, not only for breakfast for all my meals, but I'll start with breakfast now.


1.) Apples sauteed in butter with walnuts or pecans
Scrambled eggs with crumbled bacon or sausage
Green tea

2.) Veggie/egg scramble... saute' spinach/zucchini/green onions ... add bacon/sausage if desired
1/2 cup fresh blueberries

3.) Mini Crustless Quiche
****************************
This is a great weekend recipe that will keep giving for much of the week ahead.

Cook ½ lb. meat of choice. Nitrate-free bacon or ground pork with some crushed fennel seed works well. Saute ½ cup veggies of choice such as mushrooms, white onion, red bell pepper, spinach or scallions. Mix together with ¼-1/3 cup cheese of choice, omit if not eating dairy. Set aside.

Whisk 5 eggs and ¾ cup milk, and pour into muffin tins. (Use foil cups if desired.) Add meat and veggie blend to each cup of egg mixture.

Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

These can be stored in the fridge until they are ready to be eaten.

**************************************
4.) Breakfast Salad

Get a heaping serving of veggies and add wedges of hard boiled eggs and shredded bacon to fresh spinach leaves. Throw in some apple slices or nuts if you want. Store the night before in small sealed bowl. The next morning top it off with some olive oil and vinegar.

**************************************
5.) Hard boiled eggs
Fruit and nuts... for breakfast on the go

**************************************

6.) Easy and Delicious Sausage Frittata from "Everyday Paleo"... (delicious

everydaypaleo.com/2012/06/22/easy-and-deli
cious-sausage-frittata/#more-4653

***************************************
7.) Breakfast Bacon and Maple Meatballs from "Paleo OMG"... paleomg.com/breakfast-bacon-maple-meatball

... Well that's all for now... please feel free to share meal ideas/links!
