Paleo/Primal Friendly: Simple Healthy Dinner


Hello Darlings!

In some of my recent posts, I have talked about my new goal of trying the Paleo/Primal Blueprint lifestyle. There are a few contributing factors into why I’ve decided to move towards that lifestyle, but more on that later. I just wanted to share something that I have used and learned to really appreciate since I’ve started this new change.  A simple, healthy dinner.  I’ve mixed and matched fruits, veggies, cheeses, nuts, etc. to formulate light snacks and dinners to my liking. Sometimes you just don’t need a big heavy dinner, and this fits the bill perfectly for these nights.

Maybe it was the process of putting together the “spreads” if you will, but it was really nice to have a little fruit, a few olives, some cheese, a handful of nuts and a glass of wine. It was more than filling honestly, and I can’t wait to do it again soon.

What I really love about this idea for a simple, healthy dinner, is that it is easy to open the ‘fridge up, and toss a handful of this and that into a muffin tin and sit on the couch and just enjoy your sampling of nutritious foods! No prep work, no real clean up. And truthfully, I didn’t feel heavy or super full when I was do ne. It was fantastic.

The pictures in this post were from the first time I tried this, and made a spread for myself and others. It actually ended up being TOO much food, which it doesn't look like in the pictures, and we were able to eat and enjoy more of it the next day.  Once I got the hang of what combinations I like together, I used less produce and food and can whip a platter up in a few minutes!

I know not everyone is interested in the Primal Blueprint, but keep this dinner style alternative in the back of your mind. You may just try it, and even enjoy it! I am so glad I have.

Love,
