I was just wondering what everyone else is eating. It gives me ideas on what to fit into my plan, plus i like to see all the good stuff people come up with to eat!! My menu today was:
breakfast: 3 deviled eggs
snack: 1/4 cup almonds
lunch: leftover roast, couple baby carrots and 2 radishes
snack: small handful almonds, couple slices of a pear
dinner: minute steak, asparagus, deviled egg
snack: not sure yet, maybe nothing.

Does this menu look okay? I made the neanderthin mayo recipe that was in the book and it is really good!! I made the leftover easter eggs into deviled eggs--yum!

I also bought a dehydrator off ebay which should be arriving next week sometime!! I can't wait to make some jerky and am curious about the pemmican. (Not sure what it tastes like??)

Have a great Night!! Looks like rain here--i absolutely LOVE a good thunderstorm!!

Hey, Believer,

Great to hear from you! I love thunderstorms too, though they really scare one of my kids.

How's the move going?

Your menu looks great to me. A good reminder to make some deviled eggs - we still have some hb's hanging around.

Let's see, today I had:

breakfast: 2 chicken/apple sausages (these are fresh, not cured) and lettuce with olive oil/fresh lemon juice, blueberries and peaches (frozen)

lunch: leftover hamburger/salsa mixture, fancy gourmet salad mix with olive oil/lemon

snack: almonds (big, big handful ), jerky

dinner: not hungry - just had some water

Getting ready for jury duty tomorrow - taking leftover roast beef, lettuce, and some frozen blueberry/peach mixture. Will have pork breakfast sausage for breakfast.

My fondness for sausage is not quite paleo, though they're not the cured/nitrate type. Still, more processed than plain meat and some non-paleo ingredients I'm sure.

Dinner tomorrow will be fish and broccoli.

GREAT that you're getting a dehydrator. I love Sharron's recipe. I make it just like she says except I leave out the Stevia plus she uses.

I love the pemmican even more. I find I'm thinking about it a lot, wanting more, more, more! :fork: My next batch of jerky will be pemmican for sure. I want to get into a regular weekly jerky/pemmican routine.

Did you see the recipe for instant soup in Neanderthin? Audette adds either some pemmican or a bit of hamburger meat to boiling water. I got the idea of adding dried veggies to it. I have dried onion on hand, and Whole Foods has this nice minced dried tomato. I could try making dried broccoli or something in my dehydrator and make a nice vegetable mixture for soup. This would be great for camping.

I've made homemade mayo too. I use my extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice and it has a fabulous flavor. I should have made it yesterday - the weather was perfect. Don't know if you know this, but don't try to make it on a rainy, or even a threatening day. When I've done this, it breaks! It's heart breaking - the emulsion fails and it turns into oil with little blobs of mayo floating around.

Come on, you cave folks, let's hear what you're eating.

I bought fresh chicken livers last night from the Halal meat martket (from free range unmedicated chickens). My mouth is watering at the thought of frying them up with onions, fresh sliced mushrooms, fresh diced tomatoes, herbs, spices and minced garlic in coconut oil tonight for supper with a huge green salad. Be still my beating heart! Heart, speaking of hearts, .............!!!!!!

Everyones menu sounds great!! Well, maybe except Kateryna's ( LOL )- i don't mean to offend, i just can't bring myself to eat the organs! I do know they are very good for you. Funny thing, if someone else cooked them and i didn't know what they were and tried them i would probably like them. Guess its a mind thing.

I bought some beef today to make my jerky, now just waiting on my dehydrator to get here!!

Our move is going ever so slowly LOL Can't wait till school is out so we can just move everything!! Gives us a chance to fix up a few things though so i guess that is good.

I was reading through those soup recipes the other night and they sounded yummy!! Question about the pemmican though--do you think you lose well when eating it or is too much fat to keep the scale going? It sounds interesting and i plan on making some after i try the jerky.

Well, i'll shut up now-- i know i go from one thing to another in my posts, sorry if i confuse anyone--i just have so much on my mind!! LOL

Have a great day everyone!! Hope your weather is as nice as ours 80* today!!

Greeting, cave persons!

I struggle to enjoy the organ meats. I've tried a couple of times with chicken liver pate - I'm getting so I like it a little. Kateryna, your recipe sounds great - next time I want liver I will try it.

Heart is really good. It is an organ and extrememly nutritious, but it is a muscle and so does not have the different taste and texture of the glandular organs. I made some a few months ago. I cut it in strips and simmered it a long time in salsa. We all liked it.

The pemmican does have a lot of fat. The really funny thing is that I've never enjoyed eating fatty meats. I always cut the fat off. But, the rendered fat in the pemmican is very yummy to my taste. I've only made one batch of it, but I find myself actually craving more. The week I ate it I continued to lose weight. It does seem like it might be like the nuts, need to watch quantities. It is very filling and satisfying and all that.

Weather unseasonably warm here in Chicago-land, I hope to spend some time hanging out in the back yard today.

Roooar! you all

Alice
