I'll be looking in the organic section to see what they have. I wish I had done this before I went the HFS today because it's too out of the way for me to go more than once a week.

Check the panko bread crumbs. I bought the Kikkoman brand ones at Walmart (before we were GF) and the ingredients were MUCH better

ETA From Kikkoman website:
Ingredients
WHEAT FLOUR, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF EACH OF THE FOLLOWING: SUGAR, YEAST, SOYBEAN OIL, SALT.

You can sub nut meal for bread crumbs in meatballs

It's very easy and I buy my nut meal I am too lazy to make it

Not Sara, but we cooked it exactly the same time but dh still checked it with a thermometer because it's going to depend on the *way* it's cut (how thick or thin) and the way your oven cooks

Does anyone make their own almond butter? Raw almonds were over $2 cheaper than natural almond butter so I figured I'd try making my own. How hard can it be?

I bought a 1 lb bag, not blanched or roasted. I have a cheapish blender, a 7-cup Cuisinart, and a small (2-cup?) Cuisinart.

and plan to try some cocoa powder in there and see if i can feed it to dd so she'll stop begging for nutella :P

Stiina · 05-12-2012, 09:51 PM

I think I'm sold on Paleo/Primal eating. More Paleo because DH and I don't tollerate dairy very well (but we still use butter). So I'm thinking we do Paleo for 30 days, starting Sunday, June 3rd. This gives us a couple weeks to eat what we have and begin to replace it with better foods. At the end of June DH and I are celebrating our 3rd anniversary and we are taking a family vacation to the beach. That will be a good time to see if we look better in our bathing suits

Does this sound like a good idea?

Stiina · 05-12-2012, 10:12 PM

it sounds like you're ready!

LearningMama · 05-12-2012, 10:21 PM

I also bought 5lbs of DE and 1lb of clay.

A lot of crazy things are about to happen at our house. Eating like cave men and consuming dirt!

Today I watched King Corn and Fat Head oh Hulu and both were real eye openers.

I don't use any kind of flour or meal in meatballs. I made about 10 lbs of them last week. My kids inhale them.

NutRella (cuz it's nutritious)

Melt 8 ozs unsweetened chocolate over low heat. Let cool about 15 minutes. Stir in a couple of hunks of nut butter and honey to taste (1/2-3/4 c honey, depending on which nut butter you use) or stevia.

Somehow this reminds me that I often use carrot meal (from juiced carrots) in my meatballs - cheaper than nut meal and helps stretch them. I make 10 pounds at a time too and freeze them in bags for fast meals

Speaking of meatballs, we got our spiralizer this week and have no clue what took so long to buy it. Dh used it but was TOTALLY amazed and excited by it

I am excited to have "noodles" that are fast and easy again compared to using a peeler to make zucchini noodles

Soliloquy · 05-13-2012, 10:01 AM

The 10 lbs I made were gone in 48 hours!

Finally joining in here! I've been following from the beginning with interest and hesitation. I have some pretty major adrenal and gut issues and my normal gf diet isn't helping much. After a lot of deliberation, I printed out a weeks worth of recipes, made a giant grocery haul, and set to work. I will say that for the first time in, oh, probably a few years now, I was feeling great! Then, sort of for experimentation and *coughlazinesscough* we went off the 'diet' and I feel like poo. DD and I were munching on some junk and complaining that we didn't feel so great - duh! So we've commited to go back on the diet again and I'm ordering books today (although I've found all of our recipes on this thread and online so far...)

For the first time, my kids were all sleeping through the night.
*I* was sleeping through the night.
My kids were inhaling the food.
We had so many delicious treats and meals.

Here's my problem *coughlazinesscough*

I like cooking, sometimes. But for the week that we did this diet, I was in the kitchen for hours everyday. I've relied on convenience foods for years

Is there a way to get past the very long kitchen hours or do I just need to suck it up and get used to it?
