It is hard to believe but I have been experiencing the Paleo lifestyle for just about 8 weeks. I have lost 10 pounds and I feel great.
I am walking 5 miles a day and playing tennis several times a week so I know my energy level is up. While the Butcher started the lifestyle with me he quickly digressed and is now eating as he sees fit. As he puts it, “I am eating Paleo and everything else I want to”. With that said, he is eating a lot of Paleo because I am cooking Paleo. Last night I made a Taco Salad without chips and without cheese. Even the Butcher was impressed. He eyed the leftovers and quickly volunteered to eat the rest. He may convert to a Paleo lifestyle after all.
Taco Salad
1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef
6 cups of cut lettuce (Romaine, Dark leaf lettuce, red leaf lettuce)
2 cups of diced fresh tomatoes
12 oz. can of ripe olives drained
1 cup of diced fresh onion
1/2 cup of sour cream
6 to 7 Tablespoons of Taco Supreme Seasoning
saute the ground beef in a pan over medium heat until thoroughly cooked. (If necessary drain off excess fat) Add 3 to 4 Tablespoons of Taco Supreme Seasoning. Set aside.
Combine lettuce, tomatoes, onions and sour cream into a salad bowl and mix together.
Put sour cream in a bowl and add 2 to 3 Tablespoons of the Taco Supreme Seasoning to taste.
Dish salad on a plate. Top with the ground beef seasoned with the Taco Supreme Seasoning and top with the Sour cream dressing. You can also use Salsa to add additional flavor.
You will love this quick and easy Mexican fare all year long.
Until next time…From our Butcher’s Block to your Table.
