Breaking Up Is (Not That Hard) To Do

It's official. I'm breaking up with Paleo.

I think we all saw this coming, no?

We had so much in common. Bacon. Flank steak. Salmon. Lamb. Bacon. I thought we could make it work. Paleo had most of the characteristics I was looking for in a diet.

First, Paleo got along well with my husband (and it can be so awkward when that relationship is strained). I didn't have to cook separate dinners or shop for two sets of groceries.

Ron missed being able to take sandwiches to work for lunch, and he missed yogurt with granola for breakfast, but fundamentally, he wasn't complaining about a meal plan that regularly included steak for dinner.

Also, I didn't have to buy anything weird. We could eat food, and not "food". Although some of the food fakery recommended on Paleo sites on the Web was a little silly, I discovered not one, but two, recipes that will remain in high rotation even now that we've broken up.
