Hi guys, here's a bit of a fun one. What's your favorite paleo comfort food? Comfort foods generally tend to be, well, not paleo (e.g. chicken noodle soup, toast, crackers). Mine, once the weather cools down, is chicken vegetable soup.

So what are yours?

I just made "breaded" and fried Chicken Fingers for dinner with some home made paleo bbq sauce(from sonofgrok.com) and some home made guacamole on the side. I took a little more than a # of chix breast and cut it into finger sized pieces then in 3 bowls, us some coconut flour mixed with a little cayanne peper an celtic sea salt (if you use it) one with like 3 eggs beat and one with shredded, unsweetened coconut. dredged in the flour then egg then coconut. Large pan with coconut oil, golden on eiher side and WHAMMO... Amazing!

Honestly, my new- and surprising to me- comfort food is... lamb stew. And big chunks of purple cabbage, dipped in some kind of salad dressing. And a raw carrot. Weird, because cupcakes and scones used to be my comfort food. Seriously.

Watermelon, Steamed Kale with butter, Gala Apples(the best type of apples hands down) These have all been my new junk food.

I usually buy whatever fruits and vegetables that are less than $1.30/lb and that's what constitutes my diet for that week(also throw in cheap cuts of meat and free-range eggs)

I have a hard time putting together good tasting meals. I cooked some onions and sunnyside up eggs just now, and man it was mediocre tasting.

bacon!!! and really good salami with a glass of red wine. yum. last week i made a pot of gumbo the way my mom used to make it without the roux. so delicious, okra, shrimp, lingusia, and chicken wings. so good. roasted rack of lamb is pretty damn good too. i remember really not liking lamb as a kid, but now its definitely my favorite. the lamb has so much flavor it makes steak taste boring.

I'm boring: Raw cream and egg yolks topped with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. It's a comfort food I tend to indulge in almost every day :P

I noticed recently since its become winter (southern hemisphere) and my diet has been so good as of late, I noticed myself craving bad food more often and as a result cheating more often than I would like. So for this reason I decided that it is better to stock up on "paleo junk food" and eat that in abundance rather than cheat and eat bad takeaway food which is nearly always much worse than even the worst paleo food

So I have a fridge and pantry full of:

  • Bacon, Pork Ribs, and Good Quality Sausages (I cook them up in the oven in batches and leave it in the fridge as a quickly grabbed snack--heating optional!)
  • Low-sugar/High-fat Yoghurt
  • Low-sugar/High-cocoa Dark Chocolate
  • Dark chocolate covered Macadamia nuts
  • Salami
  • Beef Jerky
  • Dried Fruit (apricots, blueberries, strawberries, etc)
  • Vintage Cheddar Cheese

This keeps me fully satisfied and much less tempted to eat bad food day to day. Throw in a gluten-free pizza every once in a while and I'm good to go!

My ultimate comfort food lately is an apple omelet with side of bacon.You fill the omelet with cream cheese or mascarpone and tart apples sauteed in butter and cinnamon. I pour melted butter with a touch of honey whisked in on top. It's only a little sweet if you use tart apples, and it's definitely a treat.

Comfort food is usually not the healthiest food we eat but not much is in that other world. There are fine examples of meals listed above but not many are 'comfort' foods but main meals.

here is something I tried tonight- it wasn't that bad:

One onion- chopped large

pan fried in butter til soft then added a few tablespoons of beef/bone broth gelatin

stired until gelatin melted into a broth to coat onions.

pour into bowl add several tablespoons of a high grade mustard,

stir- eat- it wasn't bad. warm tasty and plenty of it to stay busy.

Roasting seems to be the key to it for me. Roast chicken. Roast beef. Pot roast in rich wine gravy with roasted root veg. Like that. Soup's good too.

Beef bone marrow with a little bit of salt.

Cauliflower roasted in chicken fat and gelatin, with thyme, whole garlic cloves, red pepper flakes and fresh-ground black pepper (it's also pretty good with curry powder and cinnamon instead).

Scallops.

Horse mackerel sashimi.

And if I'm feeling like I really need sweets, diced apple and banana and walnuts with a lot of cinnamon and a little honey, all mixed up together. I haven't had that in months and months.

Chicken pot pie! Just use a gluten-free crust. I'd either use almond flour or rice crust. Yes, rice isn't proper paleo but it's the least bad of the grains, and we're talking comfort food.
