Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
I love almonds. My family loves almonds. Since going paleo I would say that our almond love has only increased. We use almonds and almond products in so many different ways now.
..and we add them to many a recipe. We love almond milk (have you seen the new unsweetened coconut/almond milk?!), sliced almonds on salads, almond butter, and almond meal for a great gluten-free flour substitute. On any given day you're likely to find almonds in my purse and some home-made trail mix in my glove box (a mom can never be too prepared!). To put it mildly we have mad love for all things almond.

Blue Diamond happens to be our favorite almond brand. In fact, about a month ago I couldn't find them at the grocery store I was at. I thought, oh well, and bought a different brand. My 6 year old tasted them and promptly turned up his nose and wouldn't eat them. I tried them, and he was right. Ew. They just weren't our same beloved snack. Hmmm, I wonder if the chickens will eat them...
