A good friend steered me toward The Whole 30 program, which is a 30 day dive into the Paleo lifestyle. You can find details about this program here. In 30 days I experienced major changes in the way I felt and lost 18 pounds! The basic guidelines are no sugar, no alcohol, no grain, no beans, no dairy and no cheating! "Ok. Well, what do you eat, Cora?" became an everyday question for me to answer. Well friends, welcome to my blog, where I will share with you my quest for a healthier lifestyle. I will include recipes, meal plans, grocery lists and budget and kid friendly Paleo options.

Today, let's talk about lunch. One of my favorite lunches has become this:
Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps:
1 Can Light Tuna in Water
1 Tbs. Light Mayo
1 Lg Carrots Chopped
1/2 Small Apple Chopped
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
A few pecans as garnish
Mix together and serve in fresh lettuce! This is so simple and it is really delicious. Today I served it with the other half of my apple, a few fresh raspberries, half of a sliced cucumber, and some black olives.
I am learning that simple, real food is the way to go!
Tonight we are having a big pot of my homemade 3 Meat Chili. Tune in tomorrow for the recipe and family review!
