@toddjcoley:

nope, actually it´s noodles made out of zucchini and some meat with raw tomatoe sauce and a bit of garlic!
just came to my mind back then…a pretty simple, but badass dish!

The Bolognese works really well with spaghetti squash as well. Wonderful if you haven't tried it yet. Of course I'm not true Paleo so you know I make sure to add plenty of cheese!

[Finn666]

haven´t tried it yet…def. need to do though! thanks for the hint mate...

[mclaincausey]

I definitely do dairy despite a paleo bent to my diet. I drink at least a half gallon of organic, pastured milk a day. For those of us who have no dairy intolerance, it's a damn cheap source of nutrients.

[xchen]

Any of you dairy eaters eat Greek yogurt? I used to swear by the stuff but have found the holy grail of yogurt…

Skyr - Icelandic style yogurt made from skim milk. A cup of it has about 17+g of protein, 0g fat. Super thick and yogurty much like Greek yogurt.

[mclaincausey]

Wow sounds great. I use Icelandic butter, the best I've ever had ( Smjor I think it's called). Doesn't surprise me that other dairy is also good. I bet it has tons of CLA too.

[Seul]

Skyr sounds perfect to make tzatziki with…

[mclaincausey]

Yeah, given the process of extracting whey and concentrating the yogurt, the tzatziki would come out super thick and luscious.

[xchen]

looking for Icelandic butter on next trip to Whole Foods, cheers mclaincausey!

[mclaincausey]

They carry Smjor for sure. It is tremendous. Loaded with omega 3s and CLA.  Enjoy, let me know how you like it.

@Finn666:

just for the guys that are on the fence if they should start with paleo or not

yesterday´s pre-workout dessert:

So I made one of these last week on one of my lifting days, but with regular natural crunchy peanut butter out of the jar - so good (and really filling)!

Can't wait to try it with some better nut butters.

[hellotothefloor]

Not exactly today but Giles and made some kick-arse fajitas the other day. The peppers were cooked separately:

I think the colours are amazing!

[mclaincausey]

Looks like a bowl of gummy worms, brilliant color.

[xchen]

Didn't find the Smjor

The search definitely continues though…

[twin]

Some good cooking by Giles.
Paula loving it :-*.

[Finn666]

[xchen]

I agree, well done on all accounts!
