Week 1 — Lettuce Wraps
Avocado Salsa
4 avocados, diced
3 roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 red onions, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
* I used regular on the vine red tomatoes, two. And two avocados. Also, I placed the salsa in iceberg lettuce. If I cook this again I will add sliced chicken to the mix. Overall this was a very refreshing meal/appetizer.

monday's 3pm snack:
orange
dinner
Tropical hawaiian chicken with mango and pineapple
This meal was AMAZZZZING.... only question is is orange juice paleo? I'm assuming fresh squeezed orange juice is better and to add the sweet element I would squeeze half a lemon or a couple squirts if you have lemon juice. I made this one up after getting fed up with all the other recipes I was looking at online. All the recipe's added too much extra S****t

2 chicken breasts
1 mango
1/2 of a pineapple (I bought a small pineapple)
1/2 red onion
Juice from ½ a lemon
2 oranges squeezed to make juice
A little coconut oil
1. chop everything up
2. little cocnut oil in pan
2. brown chicken on all sides
4. add onions. saute for 2-3min

Week 1 — Haymarket Purchase
I love love the Haymarket. It is always an experience going there. Maybe it is the venders Boston accents that keep me going every week :).... or that everything is practically a dollar.
best buy this week: 10 plums for $1
Also, I am very new to Paleo.... so if there is something I'm posting that is not inline with the Paleo diet please help me out and post on my blog! Thanks!

Week 1 — Hello!
Tomorrow, Monday July 25th, will mark my first day of the paleo diet. I'm excited to try all the appetizing recipes that I have been browsing online. I'm not afraid to say it, I'm a bargain shopper and I love to get a deal. One thing about Paleo is that it can get expensive. One way I cut down on costs is going to a farmers market each week. I'm currently living in Boston, MA and travel to the Haymarket each week (a.k.a farmers market). Each week I go to the Haymarket and get my produce for the week. This week I spent $15 dollars for all my fruits and veggies. Tomorrow I will head to trader joes for the rest of the gociery list: meats, walnuts, crazins, dried bananas, cocoanut oil, almond milk, and sea salt.
I wasn't too sure what to call this blog... but I would like this blog to be a resource of recipes and grocery lists for other Paleo dieters. I'm not the best with following recipes and often add more spieces. Sooo I will post the recipei and link to the found source and explain what I added to spice up the meal!!!
ENJOY!
