Dinner Impossible? Think Again!!!

 

If your household is like mine - filled with picky eaters - then those three words can make you cringe!!   I eat a paleo diet, and even though he tries, my boyfriend...does not.  Then throw in my 11 year old son that thinks the only vegetables in the world are carrots and green beans, and you've got some dinner time issues.  Who wants to cook three different meals each night?  NOT ME!!!

My solution?  My new "Paleo Comfort Foods" cookbook.  You see, I'm just one of those people that can eat the same thing every day and not think twice about it (ground beef, salsa and guac is my go to meal!!) so I never even look for new recipes - food is fuel, right?  My son on the other hand, looks at me each night and says "chicken AGAIN??" and even though he doesn't say it, I know my boyfriend is secretly thinking the same thing.  That look on his face says it all, lol!!  Anyway...back to my new cookbook!

I first heard about this cookbook from a member that was on my #reborn nutrition challenge team.  She was sending me her food logs and everything sounded SO yummy!  So, while I was at the Paleo F/X seminar last week, I purchased myself a copy.  Of course, when I look through it, EVERYTHING looks delish!  But I needed my two picky eaters to agree with my choices, so last night I had them look it over.  Let me tell you....if it had the word "mushroom" or the picture had "green thingys" (and that wasn't my 11 year old saying that either!!) in it...it was a no go.  "I can change some of the ingredients guys." is all I said, then it was "oooooh, this one looks good, but without those nasty mushrooms."  I'm pretty sure I heard angels sing at that moment haha!!  Seriously?  We ALL agree on 3 new meals??  3 might not be much to some, but to me it was a miracle!!  Our first main dish recipe to try will be a pork tenderloin stuffed with pecash (pecan/cashew) butter and apples...I'll let you know how it goes - Fingers Crossed!!!

So, Aggie's tip for the gluten free, paleo dieting,  busy mom with picky eaters?  Go buy this cookbook STAT!!
