eating this week.

i'm happy to report that my scale numbers have been trending downward. yesterday's weigh-in has me down a little more than 6lbs. i rewarded myself by having garlic naan with my indian food lunch. so yum...

i'm interested to know how other paleo grubbers fare with eating / cooking on short time. by and large, that seemed to be the story of my week. here's a look into some of the things i had...

i had deji bulgogi (marinated grilled pork) twice this week from delicia cafe. i stumbled across this place because it's right across the street from my office. i dig it. instead of rice, they gave me a little salad. it also came with kimchi, pickles, and some kind of sauteed greens. and i added a little sriracha to it, cause it's delicious.

i happened to make an awesome quick dinner this week. and it was literally because i looked through the menus of five or six restaurants first and decided that i either (a) didn't want what they had, (b) didn't feel like going there to pick it up, or (c) didn't feel like waiting an hour for delivery because my hand would be chewed off by then. 

as a result, i went in the fridge a grabbed the first three things i saw: meguez sausage from oliviers (without casing), sweet peppers left over from some dish i made last week, and bok choy that came with the farm fresh delivery. this is by far one of the simplest and tastiest fly meals i've done. i didn't even add any seasonings to it. 

all i did was brown the sausage in a large pan, then added the peppers (cut in half) and the chopped bok choy, and let it cook with a lid on the pan. it probably took 15 minutes tops to make.

and i had a sweet treat on wednesday. i got turned on to hail merry products by a friend, and though you shouldn't eat these too often, it definitely beats your average dessert if you are fiending for something sweet. the meyer lemon and persian lime flavors are to DIE for. i got them at the whole foods in soma for a co-worker's birthday (she is also paleo), and they were a hit with the whole staff. note that the staff was definitely skeptical before trying it. i guess i would just advise you to try to abstain from eating an entire one in one sitting, if possible. 

lemony awesome.

i know. that is asking a lot.
