Thanks to my wife for this delicious dinner! Chicken Provençal on a bed of spinach with some sour cream:
Alas, her version was served on a bed of wheat pasta. Forgot to take a picture of that or I could have featured a "Paleo dos and don'ts” column.

Ground elk cooked up with garlic, ginger, onions, and water chestnuts. A little mango chutney and a few mandarin orange slices as condiments (too much and these can easily make the meal too sugary; in moderation, they add fantastic taste).

With a 5-hour ride coming up the next day, I like to increase my potato consumption just a bit to top off those glycogen stores. In this case, sweet potato and butter, topped by a whole lot of pacific salmon.

If you love Thai but want to eat Paleo, it might seem challenging since so much of Thai food is rice based. But the rice is really just filler to the delicious sauce anyway. So why not make Paleo Thai soup? If you use enough vegetables, meat, and coconut milk, it makes a fine dinner by itself, and no rice is needed. Here’s a dinner I made using Mahi-Mahi, potatoes, carrots, and onion. The sauce is coconut milk, red curry paste, ginger, and lemon grass.

mmmmm, boy, this one is good! Sliced up lamb sirloin served with sautéed zucchini & tomatoes, then topped with feta and pine nuts. I added some potato to my side salad since I want to do some MTB riding tomorrow.
Thanks to my lovely wife for making it! This almost makes up for the TV dinner thing.

This is a tasty one. The meatballs are made from ground elk, egg, walnuts, fresh herbs (Thai basil, cilantro) and spices. I fried them up in coconut oil. They are sitting on a bed of cauliflower rice, carrot, and onion, which I fried up with some coconut milk, Thai curry paste, lemon grass, garlic, and ginger. I used just enough coconut milk for it to cook into the cauliflower and infuse it with flavor, but not enough to make an actual sauce.
Paleo Thai, anyone?

This is a good one for more active days when going too low-carb will leave you without enough aerobic energy: sweet potato, bacon, and a little sour cream. I wouldn’t eat this right before heading out for a big ride, but as a breakfast 2-3 hours before a ride, it works pretty well.

After living five years in West Africa where rice is a staple, one of the things I miss with the Paleo diet is that belly-full-of-rice feeling. Fortunately, cauliflower rice is a pretty good substitute that also happens to be a lot lower on the glycemic index. Just take cauliflower and grate it up with a cheese grater, then fry it or microwave it.
This recipe involves cauliflower rice fried up with carrot, onion, and garlic in ghee. I then fried a pork chop in ghee and placed it on top. And voilà!

This is a K.I.S.S. dinner: two elk patties fried in ghee atop a bed of chard, steamed and then smothered in olive oil with a little salt and pepper. Greens and a little grass fed elk really hit the spot!
