54 The Paleo Dinner Answers is different than any of our other Dinner Answers in that it is based on the hunter/gatherer principle which provides you with good, basic, healthy food. I strongly suggest you use organic in-season vegetables, organic free-range chicken and eggs, grass-fed beef, pastured pork and wild fish as much as possible. If you don t eat pork, simply substitute chicken and slightly adjust cooking times. We use a soy sauce substitute from time to time called Coco-Aminos. I would suggest you order it online if it is unavailable at your grocery store or health food store. I bought mine at Amazon.com not cheap, but it lasts a good long while. And a few words of caution: Be aware of the possible presence of gluten (wheat) in many condiments and canned goods (vinegars, mustards, Worcestershire sauce, spice mixes, broths, ketchup, salsa, pasta sauce, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste, to name a few). I like to make my own broths and spice mixes, and read all labels in detail to get around this. Although we provide Serving Suggestions with each recipe, I strongly suggest adding a nice big green salad with all the fixin s (make sure you add good fats like, avocado, nuts or even bacon!) to each meal OR a bowl of Mitochondria Miracle Soup OR even a little of both! These extra veggies will help round out your meals and give you extra micronutrients. As with other Dinner Answers, the Serving Suggestions are double-asterisked (**) on the Shopping Lists and are entirely optional. Leanne s Basic Vinaigrette Makes 1/4 cup 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1 clove garlic, pressed Pinch of dried basil Pinch of dried oregano Mix all together, use 1 tablespoon per salad.

62 The Paleo Dinner Answers is different than any of our other Dinner Answers in that it is based on the hunter/gatherer principle which provides you with good, basic, healthy food. I strongly suggest you use organic in-season vegetables, organic free-range chicken and eggs, grass-fed beef, pastured pork and wild fish as much as possible. If you don t eat pork, simply substitute chicken and slightly adjust cooking times. We use a soy sauce substitute from time to time called Coco-Aminos. I would suggest you order it online if it is unavailable at your grocery store or health food store. I bought mine at Amazon.com not cheap, but it lasts a good long while. And a few words of caution: Be aware of the possible presence of gluten (wheat) in many condiments and canned goods (vinegars, mustards, Worcestershire sauce, spice mixes, broths, ketchup, salsa, pasta sauce, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste, to name a few). I like to make my own broths and spice mixes, and read all labels in detail to get around this. Although we provide Serving Suggestions with each recipe, I strongly suggest adding a nice big green salad with all the fixin s (make sure you add good fats like, avocado, nuts or even bacon!) to each meal OR a bowl of Mitochondria Miracle Soup OR even a little of both! These extra veggies will help round out your meals and give you extra micronutrients. As with other Dinner Answers, the Serving Suggestions are double-asterisked (**) on the Shopping Lists and are entirely optional. Leanne s Basic Vinaigrette Makes 1/4 cup 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1 clove garlic, pressed Pinch of dried basil Pinch of dried oregano Mix all together, use 1 tablespoon per salad.
