This week, I bought fresh grape leaves. It took awhile to even track down canned grape leaves and when I got there, I saw a sign for fresh leaves. I didn't know what to expect.
But my paleo dolmas turned out great. I cut and cleaned cauliflower for the first time too!
There's a lot, but I eat a lot of them too.
I also made super simple protein balls from Gabby's G-Free Instagram.
My new CrossFit friend Anna sent me a recipe for dark chocolate banana ice cream. I froze banana medallions the night before and came up with this delicious treat. I want some more...
... and I'm experiencing less bloating.
I'll keep trucking along the Paleo path 80-90% of the time. It wasn't a huge adjustment in my life.
That paleo ice cream sounds awesome - I love the tip to freeze it into medallions to make it easier to blend! I use frozen bananas for smoothies but they require more liquid since I freeze the bananas whole; this definitely sounds like a better consistency. (Though I intend to make mine with the decidedly non-Paleo nutella!)
ReplyDeleteIt took forever even with medallions!
DeleteI'm flirting with the idea of paleo myself. Those dolmas sound really interesting! Might have to give them a go!
ReplyDeleteLots of first there - first time cleaning and boiling cauliflower on my own too. I didn't follow the same procedures in the recipe like having raw cauliflower. I cooked it.
DeleteVery awesome that you made your own dolmas!
ReplyDeleteNot as hard as it seemed!
