Today I want to share some of my simpler recipes and meal ideas for you to enjoy on your own when you get a hankering for some tomato sauce and meatballs.
As an Italian New Yorker, I come from a long history of eating my nationality's delicious pizzas, pastas & pastries. In middle school, I used to sit down and eat homemade tomato sauce out of a bowl because that's how good it tastes to me (and I'm not ashamed of it either). Since changing my lifestyle to Paleo however, I no longer indulge in all the cheese, wheat, unhealthy oil, and sugar inherit in food like cannolis & chicken parmesan. Instead, I have created ways to still enjoy a homemade Italian meal, only much healthier!

When I explain to my friends my approach to food, which excludes bread, dairy, fried food, vegetable oils, sweets, and soda, they usually ask this question within the first 10 minutes: "But I eat a sandwich with cheese and mayo and a bag of chips for lunch, and now I can't eat bread or vegetable oils, so what do I possibly eat Leighann??" I have been asked this enough that I decided this would be a great topic to write my next blog post about. I will provide some easy & delicious lunch ideas that will make your day at the office or at class easier if you want to eat healthier or start following the Paleo diet.
