Din­ner is Served Pay no atten­tion to the non-Paleo cran­berry jelly; it’s my one indul­gence and it’s organic!

The aroma of bone broth fills the air and makes me want to make it out of every bone imag­ined. It’s so sim­ple. My daugh­ter, sis­ter, and niece are asleep and my hus­band is play­ing Call of Duty: MW3. I opted not to split-screen with him, choos­ing rather to surf the net com­pil­ing lists of things I want to make with our first batch of bone broth.

We are both rather happy. Sat­is­fied, but not over­whelmed by a turkey induced coma. We’ve spo­ken in great detail tonight about our new lifestyle. We have never regret­ted our deci­sion to change our lives and live a pri­mal exis­tence. And while we have not given up all of the com­forts of mod­ern day liv­ing, we have def­i­nitely taken steps in the right direction.

Admit­tedly, I was a lit­tle wor­ried about our Paleo Thanks­giv­ing menu. As carboholics-on-the-wagon, most of our com­fort foods relied heav­ily on breads, pas­tas, cakes, and pies. The mesh­ing of my Black Amer­i­can South­ern her­itage and his Ital­ian ances­try is not very Paleo-friendly, but we were both deter­mined to see this through.

I’m glad we did!

Our first Paleo Thanks­giv­ing was a suc­cess. We tried new ver­sions of old favorites and by the end of the meal we were both in a state of euphoria.

What was on the menu?
