It seems like lately we have more people than ever making the big switch-eroo over to a paleo lifestyle at the Fort. With any big lifestyle change, there are always a lot of questions. And you know what? THAT'S OK. Ask your questions! We are here to help in any way possible, so that you can be the fittest, healthiest person you can be!

One of the unspoken questions that seems to hang in the air revolves around serving your guests when they come for dinner.

"But my parents are coming for dinner, and they LOVE dinner rolls."
"If I don't serve mashed potatoes, my friends will FLIP!"
"We always have corn bread on Thanksgiving, and I don't want to disappoint anyone."

Along with these questions, there comes the subtle concern about people thinking you're "weird". You don't want to be THAT PERSON. That...weirdo who doesn't eat grains! But you know what? If you didn't say anything to your dinner guests, nobody would ever question the absence of dinner rolls!

A couple weekends ago, we had a small dinner party for some of our friends. Check out the spread!

Do you know anyone who wouldn't be ECSTATIC to see that dinner laid out for them? Here's what we served:

Salad: Curried pecans, goat cheese, baby spinach, sliced apples (I think. Carrie made the salad! BEST SALAD EVER)
Main Course: Chili Crusted Flank Steak with Homemade mango salsa
Roasted Asparagus with lemon, pepper and fresh garlic
Dessert: (not pictured) homemade Dark Chocolate covered strawberries

Um...can you say, YUM!? It was without a doubt a fabulous dinner that anyone (paleo or not) would enjoy. If you don't make a big deal out of your new primal lifestyle, nobody will ever know the difference.

So get out there, find some paleo recipes, and start entertaining!
