The Paleo Parent Introduction

A brief introduction is in order for those of you who are exploring the world of eating Paleo and what it means to get yourself and your kids on the primal wagon with as few dinner table tantrums as possible. 
There is so much evidence out right now about the benefits of eating primal or paleo that I assume you have heard about here and there, otherwise you probably wouldn't be visiting my blog.   My focus here is to help busy people and parents stay on track by featuring recipes, creative ways to feed your children paleo meals, and various links to other helpful resources available to you.  I encourage you to read up on it.  The evidence speaks for itself, so unless you are a vegan or vegetarian for personal, moral, or religious reasons, this may be the lifestyle for you and your family to feel your best.  If you are a vegan or vegetarian, you can still paleo-ize your diet, somewhat, by eliminating a few things from it, such as breads, pastas, and other foods containing gluten and dairy.  Certain fruits and vegetables can also be inflammatory to your body and therefore should be limited in your diet.   My posts on here will be focusing on the good choices you can make for you and your family without getting into the details of why, because there are experts out there that can explain it better than I could ever attempt to.  I love to cook and try new recipes, and get such satisfaction out of creating delicious meals that my kids will eat that will keep our family healthy in the long run.  Enjoy!
