January Jumpstart: Week Three by Michelle Tam https://nomnompaleo.com

When naysayers and eye-rollers tell me that Paleo food options are too limited and boring, I often find myself explaining (yet again!) that we don’t just eat boring old ground beef. After all, there’s incredible variety in the types of real, whole, nutrient-dense foods that we can all thrive on.

But I certainly don’t want to create the impression that ground beef is off the table. In fact, it’s an excellent protein source for Paleo eaters—especially for those of us on a budget. When it comes to meat, I try to stick with grass-fed ruminants, but doing so can be pricy.

The solution? I stock up on ground beef and tougher cuts like brisket, chuck, or short ribs (which are cheaper and can be slow-cooked or pressure-cooked to tender perfection). Truth be told, I always have grass fed ground beef in my freezer and fridge because it’s versatile, economical, and delicious—especially when you have recipes like these in your kitchen arsenal:

Hello! My name is Michelle Tam, and I love to eat. I think about food all the time. It borders on obsession. I’ve always loved the sights and smells of the kitchen. My mother was (and is) an excellent cook, and as a kid, I was her little shadow as she prepared supper each night. From her, I gained a deep, abiding love for magically transforming pantry items into mouth-watering family meals.
