I had been struggling with what to make for lunch today. I don't have a strong protein option other than eggs and bacon to use and with bacon and egg pie planned for dinner, it seemed silly to have that for lunch.
I opted for a nutrient rich lunch of pumpkin, carrot, beans and zucchini stir-fried in green curry paste, with a little chopped kafir lime leaf for extra flavor.
I can't get enough of our home grown beans, they are so fresh and delicious. The zucchini, also home grown are really versatile and the nutrients - particularly in the skin, make it a worthwhile addition to the meal.
I had my usual hot cacao drink (I used 50/50 full fat blue milk and water) to wash it down and some walnuts, a little extra protein and great for heart health.
I am not as focused on the Paleo philosophy as I first was, more about balance and getting my nutrients from a range of foods. I am still working on low carb (including potato, rice and pasta), low dairy, low sugar (including too much fruit), high vegetables (especially greens) and moderate healthy fats. My treats are, my hot cacao of course, the occasional red wine, dates and raw nuts. Other than that it is not typically on the menu. I'm not perfect, but I'm committed to the plan and hubby is getting on board too which is great!
