Paleo Party and Weekly Eats

 What do people eating an evolutionarily appropriate diet eat? Well. lots of things, as I try to demonstrate with my paleo foods section.Eating Paleo in NYC had a great party last night and it was wonderful to see the huge diversity of food on the menu and to meet everyone!

Berries, sprouts, nuts, raw beef, grassfed butter, chili, Indian lamb, duck, asparagus, garlic greens...

Everyone at the party was doing paleo for different reasons ranging from weight loss to celiac disease to interest in eating nourishing real foods. There were normal paleos, WAPFrs, raw foodists, and everyone in between. It was interesting to talk about dietary preferences, it really showed me how you can't put this movement in a box. 

Blood sausage, raw beef, wild boar leg, spinach, london broil, liver pate...pics from the farm tour!

The party was generously hosted by the Sanocki brothers and I hope everyone had a great time! Here is what else I've been eating:

Seaweed plate at Souen! This is the seaweed salad. I also ate a bunch of oysters and pumpkin. Souen is a great example of how flexible the paleo diet can be....you can even eat it at a macrobiotic primarily vegetarian restaurant! Seaweed is very nutritious and so are oysters. The only caveat here is that they use vegetable oils in their cooking like safflower oil. 

I often get brunch at Get Fresh Table and Market. This morning I had this lovely pastured pork belly and beet salad, plus a side of garlic greens and roasted potatoes. Last week I had grass fed steak and eggs!
