With the girls gone on vacation, I get to cook exclusively for Superman this week. Actually, sometimes he cooks for me. And sometimes we cook together. Have I mentioned that I love that man?
This morning I was treated to a delicious omelet with sausage on the side, accompanied by sliced strawberries and avocados. I tell you, the man buys avocados by the dozen. It's wonderful. For lunch, we threw together salads of mixed greens with shredded chicken, avocados, strawberries, and a drizzle of white wine vinegar (it turns out, I actually prefer the flavor of red wine vinegar, but it was still okay).
For dinner tonight, we did a rerun of some previous menu items (in fact, this week will be a review of our favorites from this whole challenge). My good friend from Australia was visiting tonight. He's a fish-eating-vegetarian, so I wanted to make sure our menu would be safe for him.
Dinner was an outstanding success. My Aussie friend even noted that he was looking for a new nutrition plan, and thought he might be able to employ the principles of the Paleo lifestyle himself. Superman and I encouraged him, letting him know that it's very possible, and very delicious. Nothing about Paleo has to be about deprivation.
