Our Paleo Adventure---Update

So a few months ago, I shared with you how we were trying to go Paleo in this house. Ironic, right? After all, I am a cornfed child who ate potatoes, bread, beans, or corn at every meal growing up and those are forbidden on Paleo.

Anyways, Chris is having wonderful results with weight loss, increased energy, and overall feeling good since starting our adventure. Being pregnant, I am only half doing paleo. I eat little bread, lots of fruits and veggies, and meat (when I can stand it), my weakness and craving is potatoes!.  Through our adventure, I have managed to keep weight gain to a minimum so far at 5 1/2 months, I have gained only 4 or 5 pounds.

We've also found several new recipes for vegetables we like.  Here's a list of a few of our favorites. If you like one, let me know and I'll share the recipe.

Roasted Zucchini and Carrots
Honey Glazed Carrots
Mock Potatoes
Steamed Broccoli (no recipe there really, haha)
Spaghetti Squash

No carbs? What?!

My beloved husband came home from work one day last week and announced that he is breaking off his relationship with carbs....No carbs? Are you kidding me?!

 We typically have bread, noodles, or a potato dish of some sort at every meal. How am I supposed to drop carbs from our meals? While normal people wouldn't have any problem coming up with new meal ideas,  I on the other hand, happen to be married to one of the pickiest eaters ever! Not to mention, I am a carboholic. After all, I am "the midwest cornfed mom". I grew up with meat, potatoes, bread & butter, and a vegetable at every meal! Seriously. Every. Meal. I managed to stay skinny as a child, but once I was an adult it has been a struggle, that so far I am losing.

As of today, I have done good at curbing the carbs in our meals here at home for the last 6 days. I am still not sure how long this will last or if we will survive. This could get ugly, haha!

So...........anyone got any low/no carb meal ideas????
