swordfish and asparagus {ridiculously healthy Paleo}

There will be no recipe link for this meal. Honestly, I can’t believe I made it…and that my kids actually ate it! 🙂

Grilled swordfish and baked asparagus.

Although healthy and 100% Paleo, it did not satisfy any gluten craving! I just had a sudden urge to cook the healthiest meal on the planet!

While cruising the grocery store with swordfish in my cart, my children were gagging. For real. That’s how I know that I have crossed into some crazy healthy world….gagging children before they even sit down at the dinner table! Haha!

I have some super yummy recipes to share soon though! 🙂

hurdles in eating healthy…

My adventures in our new diet have led me down a somewhat crunchy path…

You know what I mean by “crunchy”, right? According to the Urban Dictionary online (the obvious choice for scholars like myself) it is “Used to describe persons who have adjusted or altered their lifestyle for environmental reasons. Crunchy persons tend to be politically strongly left-leaning and may be additionally but not exclusively categorized as vegetarians, vegans, eco-tarians, conservationists, environmentalists, neo-hippies, tree huggers, nature enthusiasts, etc.”

While I’m not leaning anywhere near the left side, I might be considered somewhat hippie-ish since I’ve now been making my own shampoo, body soap and moisturizing my face with almond oil!

Why have I journeyed into the world of crunchiness? Glad you asked. 😉 It’s not out of a desire to save the planet… It’s because my skin resembles a child with chicken pox. 😦

From what I can gather, there are a number of reasons why my face could break out into a frenzy of rashes and blemishes…. 1) a detox rash. 2) an allergy or sensitivity to makeup, shampoo, or other personal care product. 3) an allergy or sensitivity to something I am eating. 4) you fill in the blank, because I’m out of ideas!

Apparently a detox rash is common when extremely changing your diet. I was NOT prepared for that, but am hoping my skin looks Cover Girl easy and breezy soon. 😉

As I continue to explore why my pores are revolting, I *may* post recipes for shampoos, etc. Although so far I’ve struck out in that department!

If you have thoughts for me, I’d love to hear them. 🙂
