Day Eight..don't hate

Congratulations! Everyone has made it through the first week (some a little better than others). Over the next week or two, thing should become more normal. One of the biggest changes will probably be present in your tastebuds. The next time you think that you actually want that Hersehy bar and you eat it, it will most likely be too sweet. By eating clean, your body begins to appreciate how good, good food tastes. A nice piece of steak some grilled vegetables will be satisfying, without those four Oreos afterwards.

Many people who first ask about eating Paleo, always ask, "Well what can I eat then?". When they here the response that they can eat basically any meat or vegetable they want, there first thought is usually that this lifestyle is limiting. For those of use who have been experimenting with all these recipes, we know that the choices are endless. Often, we get stuck in a rut eating the same grilled chicken and steamed broccoli, when we could be having so much more (without too much additional work). Here's a simple recipe that I made for the potluck that adds some variety to your diet.

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

1. Line a baking sheet with asparagus
2. Drizzle oil over the asparagus and sprinkle with salt and pepper
3. Take each asparagus spear and wrapped a piece of prosciutto around it
4. Broil in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the prosciutto becomes crispy and the asparagus becomes tender

(I bought 3/4 lb. of prosciutto which covered the whole bunch of asparagus.)

I ran out of prosciutto, so one little naked guy at the bottom. :o
