What's for dinner?

Options
I'd love to see what others are eating to stick to Paleo as well as lose weight. I have been sticking to big salads with lots of veggies, balsamic vinagrette and grilled chicken. I know that is going to get boring so need to start planning ahead.

    We made a Chili Verde from the Everyday Paleo cookbook. It's pork shoulder, garlic and onions sauteed with coconut oil, smoked paprika, cumin and black better, then you douse that with a couple cups of chicken broth, and then there's a puree that you make from tomatillos, jalapenos and lime juice that you pour into the mixture. Cook all of it for a couple hours and then add guacamole and salsa on top. Great alternative to Mexican!

    The chili sounds delicious! I don't like spicy so would have to omit a few things but definitely going to check into that cookbook.

    I had an avocado and a baked sweet potato. It doesn't sound like much, but I enjoyed it. Very filling and satisfying. :)

    I basically live and die by Paleo cookbooks. We would not have successfully transitioned into Paleo eating without them. I would have given up a loooong time ago.

    Pound of goat steaks, kilo of sweet potatoes (in wedge form) and 1/2 a carton of cottage cheese with some gherkins. Because gherkins are badass.
    Washed down with some frozen bananas and berries. Nom.

    Me, too! I swear by my cookbooks and sites like PaleOMG and Nom Nom Paleo.

    Last night was BBQ spare ribs and green beans. 1 rack was strictly paleo, the other was a homemade bbq sauce for the kids. I had a little and it was so good. My husband loved it too and he usually doesn't like bbq sauce.

    Tonight I'm making the salmon cakes and tartar sauce from It Starts with Food.

    last night was Bora Bora Fireballs with green beans (so delish!) and tonight is going to be turkey stuffed cabbage rolls...or some sort of lazy cabbage roll casserole - undecided.

    Last night was sweet and spicy sauteed cabbage and pork chops all cut up and thrown in a bowl with salsa and guacamole! It was awesome.

    I follow primal and still eat dairy so keep that in mind!

    Dinner was one generously sized BBQ rib eye (medium rare, 100% grass fed) with grilled asparagus and goat cheese with garlic and olive oil.

    And then my son fell of his chair and needed 4 stitches at the hospital, so I ate steak and asparagus for breakfast after having to pan fry it in strips!!!! lol

    Currently in the oven: Whole chicken roaster with baby red potatoes (for the husband/kids), carrots, celery. I seasoned it with Greek seasoning and olive oil. It smells wonderful! I absolutely love one-pot dinners - less mess to clean up!
