You know what I love?
I have such sweet readers–really I do. Many of you have no interest in being paleo or grain-free, and yet, you come here faithfully to see what I’m rambling on about. I have mad love for all of you, and frankly, it’s not my goal to get you all eating paleo. {GASP!!} But I really would love to have some small part in encouraging you. Giving you ideas. Helping you move a little closer down the road to where YOU want to be. Feeling healthier, maybe. Having more energy. Less aches and pains. Feeling a little better about what your kids are eating.
With that in mind, I got the idea for weekly challenges. Each challenge will be designed to get you eating more “real” foods, and will hopefully help broaden all of our horizons. Basically, I will post a “challenge” every week….for instance, one week the challenge might be something like:
Try 3 new (real, whole) foods this week.
Then I could give you some ideas of more obscure things to try and post links to recipes for you. I will be participating and doing my best to challenge myself as well. I am certainly not perfect and have plenty of room to improve! Throughout the week, we could check in with each other via Facebook and I can be your cheering section. Seeing what other people are trying might give you ideas, and you might be the inspiration for someone else. Eating cauliflower for the first time deserves a virtual high five, know what I mean? And I’m here for you.
All of the recipes I post will continue to be paleo, and I hope you stick with me. But in the meantime, we can all do better. So if this sounds good to you, be sure to sign up as a blog follower. That will ensure that all challenges and recipes get delivered right to your inbox (Facebook likes to limit what you see from me). If you plan to participate, spread the word to your friends, family and co-workers. Sit down with your spouse and kids and talk about WHY you want to do this. Get everyone on board!! Challenges are even more fun when you are doing them with people you like–especially those that you can see in person 🙂
I will do my best to get the first challenge issued Saturday!
