Belated Thanksgiving? Certainly by Canadian standards, and even so by US. I didn’t get to have a proper  Canadian Thanksgiving because I was on an elimination diet. Although the Cornish game hens were quite the stand-in act. Tracking down a fresh turkey appears to be a near impossible task unless it’s either Thanksgiving or Christmas, so I picked up an organic one at a US Whole Foods. If turkeys were more commonly available, I would batch cook them more often. They’re pretty easy to do and taste phenomenal. As for lunches, keeping it simple this week – bought some roasted chicken and will have it with some kraut or a simple salad of sorts.

Now I have food for most of the week (this will feed 2 for dinner and one for lunch) – such is the joy of batch cooking :)

What’s on your menu for the upcoming week?

“But if you don’t eat bread, what the heck do you eat??”

This should answer that question and then some. Check out the images below of everything that I ate this past week to see the extent of my suffering on this paleo/primal “diet”.

This week included Coq au Riesling, salad with steaks and strawberries, and burgers.
