For those of you who don't know, the Paleo diet is all about lots of lean meat, veggies and fruits. They don't recommend dairy, legumes or wheat. A few of these (dairy and wheat) are common allergies and there's lots of scientific studies showing that people have serious health problems for years as a result of these allergies. Often, the reaction inside your body can destroy organs and cause severe damage if not treated early, I have no problem getting rid of dairy, but I have a problem with getting rid of wheat. I'm not able to totally cut it out right now, but I'm definitely making an effort to provide all whole wheat and lowering fat and sugar in my baking.

We have tons of sweet corn so we'll most likely be eating that every single night for a while.
so, the weekly menu has not changed too much since i have discovered my gluten intolerance (celiac's disease). we don't eat much pasta anyway, but if you see that on the menu, i will make mine separate from the family's. it's the sneaky ingredients in sauces and the occasional bread crumbs that prove to be a challenge. dairy is not treating me kindly right now either, so cheese is a condiment rather than an ingredient for my cheese mongering family. very sad for us all, but we'll get through it till i can tolerate dairy again. so, here we go -

Saturday: eat out or d
