Elise7, you could make guacamole, take out a portion equal to 1/2 avocado, and tightly cover and refrigerate the rest. The lime/lemon juice in the guac will keep it from turning dark. We do it all the time.

I switched to goat milk 7 years ago as a cooking ingredient for savory dishes. As a result, inflammation in my body went WAY down. I also cut out all cow's milk, gluten-containing grains especially wheat, and sugar. All of those foods are inflammatory. It did not affect my snoring, but it sure eliminated a lot of pain.

My doc wants me to eat between 50-70% fat, low carb and increase (!) my protein. Still working at getting the numbers right, because I can't seem to get enough protein, even with a low carb protein shake.

The trick is to focus on the things you CAN have and not on the ones you can't (like sugar/alcohol).

I started last week at my doc's recommendation, and I'm having 2 meals, one at noon(ish) and one at 6:00 p.m. so I guess that's 18:6. So far doing OK. I aim to limit calories to 1200 a day, saving room for a smallish snack mid afternoon, usually raw macadamia nuts. HFLC goals are carbs 10% protein 20% fats 70%. I'm still…

Here's my take on a traditional Portuguese soup, yummy! DO make a point of using smoked paprika. It makes all the difference. Caldo Verde: Kale and Turnip Soup w/Sausage Category: Import Yield: 8 servings 1 1/2 pound turnips, peeled and cubed 1 Tbs bacon fat 1 lb chicken sausage Chorizo or Andouille 2 dried chiles - (to 3)…

Here is a link to one of many Paleo websites, this one on the topic of reading labels the Paleo way. Lots of good recipe ideas too. agirlworthsaving.net/2015/04/how-to-read-food-labels-the-paleo-way.html?inf_contact_key=7171cf94630a5a7cadea1fd063a66feb4313b666623dcf04d700c35d2eef1cd4

I like leftovers, especially Chinese from the night before. My go-to, though, is to saute some onion, add chopped chard (a lot) and some garlic powder and cook till wilted, add a couple eggs, salt and siracha and stir together till the eggs are cooked. Low carb, high protein and fills you up! Yum!

Katie mentioned two really good cookbooks above (WELL FED and WELL FED 2). They are also very good for step-by-step making meals ahead and planning your week's meals. Highly recommended.

Chicken Piccata A lovely recipe shared by an artist friend, thank you, Kate Ingredients • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, rinsed, patted dry • Pepperman* & garlic • 4 T unsalted butter • ¼ c lemon juice • ½ c chicken broth • ¼ c dry white wine • 8 oz baby portobello mushrooms, sliced • 2 T bacon grease…

My "secret" seasoning, great for fish, chicken, burgers. Save an empty spice jar for this. Mix together one part paprika, one part garlic powder, and two parts sea salt. Store in spice jar. Sprinkle generously on a whole organic chicken. Now you can roast it in the oven, rotisserie on the grill or pop into a crockpot. Cook…

I have been Paleo about 4 years. Lost almost 90 lbs altogether and stopped diabetes and hypertension melds. Best of all, no more PAIN! For working folks, the secret is planning and cooking ahead.

Last week I found out that red meat causes an allergic reaction (inflammation) for me, so I have had to cut it out. I never ate a lot of it anyway, so it's not a problem. I eat chicken/turkey, fish and seafood, eggs, or goat dairy products instead. (Can't do dairy from cows either.) I find I "feel" lighter without it.…
