I have been following a paleo/primal diet for a while now and I guess it has become kind of a second nature to me, so second nature that sometimes I forget that its completely foreign to most people. My memory was triggered today.
Usually I’m the cook. I have always loved to cook, I find it relaxing and fun. I started cooking even more once I started following a paleo diet, finding new creative ways to make the usual meat and veggies fun (making it look good is half the battle). I would say my boyfriend definitely appreciates a nice home cooked meal, and most of the time doesn’t even realized its paleo (he is not paleo).
Today I realized it was going to be a long day and I would be home a little late, so I asked the bf to take care of dinner. Now he knows quite a bit about my diet and what I will eat and what I wont, and still this threw him into a panic so big it makes me wonder what he was eating before I showed up. Before I had finished my morning coffee I had three emails in my inbox asking if his meal options were paleo friendly before he decided to stick to one of my go to’s (steak and bacon wrapped asparagus).
Sometimes I forget what a jumbled up food world we live in, a world where eating meat and veggies is complicated…Anyone else finding the same problem?
