Birthday Dinner

Coconut Cake with Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting (not quite Paleo)

Hard to believe, but Youngest Son just turned 39 years old, and Beautiful Granddaughter turned 19 years old the day before that.  My Dad has always said "The older you get, the faster time goes." and, as I get older, and my children and grandchildren get older, I would have to agree with him.

I haven't had the opportunity to make Youngest Son a birthday dinner for a number of years as he has been living in Kamloops for the last few years.  Youngest Son and Beautiful Granddaughter are also trying on the Paleo lifestyle for fit so, of course, the dinner has to be (almost) Paleo.

Ground beef, GF Italian Sausage,  sweet potatoes and kale, with an egg.

It has been awhile since I posted because something "weird" has been happening to me after over a year on the Paleo diet and I have been trying to figure out where I m going wrong.  Up until about two months ago I was feeling really good - mentally and physically - and now (long story short), I'm not.  I have very little energy, don't feel like cooking or eating, no bike riding even though the weather has been perfect for bike riding in our part of British Columbia and I was really enjoying the riding.  I continue to follow the Paleo diet for 99% of the time (small amount of maple syrup in my morning coffee) and have finally killed the sugar monster.
