The Start

Keith recently came to me expressing how he wanted to do an extreme primal diet to try to lose 35lbs. I don't really do diets as I am naturally thin (even after having 2 kids) and had always been able to eat what I want. Then I turned 31. I all of a sudden became allergic or sensitive to many things and started having digestive issues including pain when eating certain foods. Eventually the day came where I had to say "enough is enough" and had to cut out the foods I love dearly. That brings us to now where we go back to the primal diet Keith had mentioned however that was too drastic for me so we have now embarked on trying a modified Paleo diet as many recipes call for almond this or that and I am very allergic to them. I also still enjoy my rice, potatoes and a cookie every now and again.
Keith and I love cooking together. We try to have cook together date night as often as possible and it's something our friends on Facebook and Instagram have looked forward to. I mean we go all out making better then restaurant meals, however it is no longer working for our stomachs (or waste lines). 
The first meal I made was simple as it was an experiment and Keith was working late. I cut up a pound of chicken tenders into cubes after trimming the fat off. Then in a large pan I added a 1/2 inch to an inch of chicken broth and added some ground pepper. Once that came to boil I added the chicken, cooking each side until done. While those were cooking I steamed broccoli and started hard boiling eggs. I must say, for a simple meal it was still delicious. (And don't mind the paper plate as we are waiting on a new dishwasher and the less dishes the better)
