I LOVE Mexican and Salvadoran food. Recently I bought jicama and sliced it up, squirted it with lime juice and dipped it into my favorite salsa instead of chips. I am currently not eating grains, including corn, but that is because of the insulin resistance. Carbs just make me feel uncomfortable and too hungry too soon. Hopefully, it won’t be a permanent deletion from my diet, but is is helping a lot for now. (Thanks Nicole ) By the way, I recently tried chicken liver from the giblets packet in my whole chicken, and I liked it, but I am a little shy still to buy the 1/2 lb. package. But butter, white wine and cream make it sound like a real treat!

Hi audrey, we were fortunate to have a mexican friend board with us for a year (mexicans aren;t very common here in Australia!) we learn’t how to make the best corn tortilla’s - (I’m assuming you can have corn) I bought a tortilla press at a mexican food importers and buy pre soaked “masa” flour - can be either yellow or blue corn. I mix up the dough with warm water and lard and press out and cook many in a session. These freeze well either on their own or pre spread with beans and grated cheese.
Last night I had a decadent dinner of chicken liver sauce (from an italian cookbook - cooked in butter, white wine and cream), on frozen toasted tortilla which was spread with avacado. when I buy the livers I separate then into packs of about 9 which is enough to serve 2 or just me with leftovers for breakfast.

Audrey, I’ll leave it to Cathy to answer, but this is worth a read http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/index.html

Hi Audrey
This link should help; http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/oiling.html

but the info that really got me and everyone I know (because I lent my dvd out to them) is the DVD docomentary presentation by Sally Fallon (excellent speaker!) based on Mary Enig’s book called “The Oiling Of America”
You can buy the dvd though the wapf http://www.westonaprice.org

Its a worthy investment, one of the best doco’s I own, big eye opener for all.

Cathy, Can you expand on your earlier comment regarding blood tests? I am cautious about conventional medicine, but didn’t expect blood serum cholesterol tests to be “worthless.” Thanks!

When I literally have no time, I grab a cup of raw milk and wash down a tablespoon of bee pollen with it. If I have a little more time, I will add raw honey to spoon of bee pollen. Othertimes a tablespoon of concentrated coconut cream. Sometimes I take the whole jar with me so I can snack on whenever I want. Its quite yummy.

Yes, I have started to appreciate hard-boiled eggs. I am intrigued by pemmican and will put it on my list of things to try making. I also like the idea of paleo kits for the ultimate grab and go convenience (and added variety). I found something at my local health food store called Gopal’s Power Wraps. It was a little expensive to have everyday ($1.99, 2 stix, 32g, 140 cal), but can fill in the gaps in emergencies. They are nori wraps, in a shape that is a cross between a pencil and a cigar. Inside are organic soaked, germinated, and dehydrated pumpkin seeds and spices. I go the Mexican variety: yummy!

I always have a boiled egg in my handbag! I boil up a stack on Sunday night to get me through the week. I’m also in the habit of cooking extra dinner and serving my lunch up when I serve dinner. I use Essene bread with lashings of butter in the afternoon and I keep a stock of slices in the freezer and butter at work. All I have to do in the morning is grab my Essene bread, boiled egg and lunch out of the fridge as I run out the door. But I’m one of those people that doesn’t need variation. I’m happy to eat exactly the same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day.

Hi Audrey
Just thought I’d mention that those cholesterol tests mean absolutely nothing.
Kindly, Cathy
