What You Could Buy to Stock a Paleo Kitchen

So after the New Year you feel inspired to try a new diet. You've chosen the Paleo diet; seems to be popular. Good for you, you’re taking a big step towards better health and more energy. But as you survey your kitchen, you realize that your refrigerator contains nothing healthy.

Lets see, I have plenty of beer, processed cold cuts, condiments; my freezer is full of precooked industrial products; the pantry is full of bread and pasta, nothing Paleo HERE!

Stocking a gluten-free, grain-free, paleo kitchen can be a little intimidating at first. It is absolutely critical to read labels. It seems everything in the grocery store has gluten, sugar or other processed food chemicals.

A Starter Paleo food Shopping List 

Refrigerated departments:
  • Fruit
  • Vegetables
  • Fresh meat (without nitrates)
  • Fish and shellfish
  • Eggs (preferrably pasture fed)
  • Orange and some other juices (100% juice only) [not really paleo]
Store Interior:
  • Coconut milk (no preservatives, preferrably no guar-gum)
  • Thai curry paste
  • Water chestnuts in water (paleo? use for what?)
  • Olive oil, preferably first cold press
  • Starkist "Low Sodium - Low Fat" tuna, or tuna in olive oil other canned fish in olive oil or water, preferrably no salt added.
  • Tomato paste/sauce (must not have flavorings or natural flavors, nor salt)
  • Unsweetened applesauce ("natural") [better to make your own with lots of cinnamon]
  • Spices
  • Green tea (or loose at the natural foods store)
  • Bottled spring water

The purpose for using a slow cooker in the first place is to make cooking easier and more convenient. The recipes should be simple. The main idea of the slow cooker is to start a dish before you leave home for work, and have a fresh, hot meal ready for you when you get home.
