If you had unlimited funds and unfettered access to the finest quality Paleo ingredients from the choicest of farms and suppliers, what would your daily or weekly menu look like? What would you eat for breakfast (if you're not IFing), lunch and dinner?

A daily menu is interesting, but to get the full range of delicious choices in and a full variety of vitamins/minerals I think a weekly menu would be most useful. Make it ortho/lacto/LC/ZC, whatever your personal style is.

I'm trying to nail my own eating habits down - they're a bit sporadic right now - so I'm coming to you guys for inspiration!

What does your ultimate Paleo menu look like?

 Thanks so much, Kaz. :) Hope it shows that paleo (/lacto-paleo) does NOT have to be boring in the least! – familygrokumentarian Feb 5 2011 at 0:10

A secluded Alaskan valley, a cabin, and a rifle. I know this is not the kind of answer you are looking for, but it would be my ideal diet.

I already eat close to my ideal diet. I spend too much on food. If I could improve something, I would source more local ingredients and rely less on Whole Foods. I mostly eat twice daily, either breakfast or lunch, and dinner.

Breakfast (weekends): eggs, uncured bacon or sausage, potatoes, sometimes berries with a bit of yogurt or coconut milk

Lunch/dinner: meat, fish or fowl, greens, other vegetables, potatoes or sweet potatoes, some sauerkraut or pickles

Red wine is a frequent addition to dinner

Occasional: dark chocolate, hard cheese

What makes it my ideal is the quality of the food, not the types or even preparation. I often cook very simply, getting a little more elaborate on weekends.
