Okay, my paleo challenge folks – who is up for a wee little mini challenge? Let’s focus on vegetables this week. Not many of us love vegetables the most, so it’s something that we have to work at eating each day, right?
Well, here is your challenge:
Paleo Vegetable Ideas
Before you all get REALLY technical, please note that I do realize that fruits such as squash and tomatoes do appear in this list. I’m leaving them in my vegetable recommendations because they are widely believed to be or thought of as vegetables by the general population. Don’t knock my methods! 🙂 Do keep in mind that starchy or sweet “veggies” should be eaten in moderation.

I’m in! I do a decent job of having a salad with a variety of chopped veggie toppings almost every day, but I’m not as good about actually eating whole servings of a variety of vegetables. I want to do this until next Monday.
Thanks for the great mini-challenge idea!
