Variety and Soup

Coconut Fish and Kale Stew

Vari­ety is the spice of life, right?

We are try­ing to add more vari­ety in our diets. There is a whole world of meats that we can eat and we barely scratch the surface.

I’m learn­ing that the key to this Paleo life is to step out of the com­fort zone. It’s not easy! The thought of eat­ing liver is enough to send run­ning and scream­ing to the near­est veg­e­tar­ian sup­port group. The sight of fish heads brings hor­ri­ble mem­o­ries from child­hood and eat­ing any­thing that is fer­mented is not on my bucket list. But truth be told, and I credit this with actu­ally enjoy­ing food since remov­ing all grains, gluten, etc. I actu­ally enjoy food now and want to try every­thing. In fact, since Sep­tem­ber I have come to like cab­bage (at least raw cab­bage), zuc­chini, and wait for it red meat! These are all things that I would never eat before but of which I am now a fan.

So in my quest for vari­ety, I decided to make a Coconut Fish Stew with Kale. It looks good doesn’t it? Well, the pic­ture isn’t very good but it tastes so good. I need to stop tak­ing pic­tures with my phone.
