I have a ridiculous amount of lettuce in my fridge right now and needed a new way to eat it besides salad. So, I started googling recipes and found broiled romaine lettuce! What a concept and so easy.  It only takes about 5-6 minutes to cook and has a great flavor and texture.  I flipped mine so each side got a little charred. I recommend trying this out if you want a new way to get your greens in!
 
Makes 1 serving:
Ingredients:
1/2 head Romaine lettuce
Broiled Romaine Lettuce NFL
6 cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 artichoke heart, quartered
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice, fresh
1 dash salt
Instructions:
1. Turn oven on to broil
2. Cut romaine head in half and place on aluminum foil
3. Slice cherry tomatoes in half and spread tomatoes and artichoke hearts onto foil
4. Spritz with olive oil (I use a Misto sprayer)
5. Add black pepper and pinch of salt
6. Place under broiler for about 2-3 minutes each side
7. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over lettuce and serve immediately
Happy nibbling!

Great Article On the Paleo Diet

20140825-222513-80713522.jpg
Have questions about the Paleo diet? Check out this article reviewing the pros and cons of following this diet. It discusses common concerns as well as the possible benefits and adds in the expertise of a Registered Dietitian, athletes and sports nutritionists.
I think this is a great article. I don’t think the Paleo is sustainable or ideal, but I support the fact that people can adopt healthier habits from following it. Since it encourages more fruits and vegetables and less processed foods, salt, etc., it can be a good starting point to adopting healthy habits.

If you are thinking of trying it out, please keep the following in mind:
– Be nice to your kidneys and do not over consume protein
– Make sure you are getting enough calcium & vitamin D (you will most likely need supplementation)
– Choose leaner proteins like fish and poultry rather than red meat. Beef and bacon are higher in heart clogging saturated fat.
– Remember that carbs are your primary source of fuel. Your brain functions off of glucose and your body needs carbs for both exercise and normal day-to-day activities.
