What is Almond Meal?
Almond meal is just ground up almonds, usually with the skin still on. Almond flour is ground up blanched (skin off) almonds. The two can basically be used interchangeably.
Mark's Daily Apple has a great article on the Many Uses of Almond Meal.
Picture is of Pumpkin Lasagna. If you are Facebook, check out Paleo Pantry. They have great photos and recipe ideas!
Here was my Saturday contribution to the Paleo Diet:
ReplyDelete1. 2 large helpings of spaghetti and meatballs
2. 76 M&M's
3. Two of those pumpkin muffins (what flavor were those supposed to have?)
4. I start Paleo in 1-2 days. I've been zone dieting for approx. 8 months so I'm fairly confident in what I've been doing.
5. I need more "Du Hast"
B: SAusage, mixed veggies, butternut squash... Apparently it also had maple syrup. :( & coffee
ReplyDeleteL: grilled chicked salad
D: pork chop, butternut squash with cinnamin and a bitvof honey, cucumber salad, fruit salad with walnuts
lots of olympic lift work over the weekend.
Well, I did well until Friday night. My rehearsal dinner meal was pre-ordered a few weeks ago, before I decided to do the Paleo Challenge. Saturday wasn't great, either. I didn't do terrible for breakfast, but the dinner options did not lean in my favor. I had to eat what ever I could. I also managed to put back four beers and then a bottle of wine. Oops! I did well for breakfast and dinner today, but lunch was a loss. I'm still sick and wasn't feeling up to making lunch.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast: 2 eggs scrambled in bacon grease, 3 pieces of sf bacon, granny smith apple, & almond butter
Lunch: 2 slices of meat pizza, thin crust
Dinner: chicken tortilla soup, minus the tortilla. This was soooo good! I will definately make this one again, but with more chicken.

Babs, I'd love to have your tortilla soup recipes, it it my favorite soup! Sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteI found a great site for Almond Meal if anyone is interested. It's much cheaper than buying it at the store. They sell a 5lb bag for $26.99, but I found a 10% off coupon code: Honey58.

ReplyDeleteUse this link for the tortilla-less soup. It had a really nice spice to it.

It mentions chicken broth, but I found this recipe for Paleo broth.
