In the nine months since I tried this whole paleo lifestyle thing, which not only cured my lactose and gluten intolerant woes, but also lowered my skyrocketing blood pressure, I've had some fun rooting out some killer recipes online. Of all the blogs out there on the interweb (or the cloud or whatever it is they're calling it these days) my hands-down favorite is Michelle Tam's Nom Nom Paleo. She understands that eating healthfully doesn't mean eating disgusting, bland or boring foods. Her recipes are creative, flavorful and filling, and her iPad app is probably the most beautiful and functional online cookbook I've ever used. Her meals can convert even the staunchest of white-bread and pasta lovers in this world -- I really cannot say enough good things about this Martha of the primitive community.
Anyway. I recently tried her "Paleo Trail Mix" made from a mixture of toasted coconut flakes, pepitas, sunflower seeds, slivered almonds and dried pineapple. Its downright addicting and you can even eat it in the morning with a little almond or coconut milk if you're missing those days of housing bowlful after bowlful of Lucky Charms. Here's the recipe in its entirety but its basically the following:
PALEO TRAIL MIX:
- 16 oz. roasted, unsalted sunflower seed kernels
- 16 oz. raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds
- 8 oz. roasted, unsalted almond slivers
- 6 oz. dried pineapple, cut up
- 5 oz. dried flake coconut (I prefer to toast them if I have the time)
Pour ingredients in a bowl. Mix together. Eat.
The End.
