NO! This is not Paleo! This is our gorgeous home-from-college Granddaughter, bringing her Grandfather a Rhubarb Pie, which she made for him. :-)))))))))
"Auntie" goes "bananas"?
No! "Auntie" goes "Paleo"...
And it ain't easy, figuring out just what 'Paleo Plan' you will follow. :-)
click-->"Wheat Belly"
OK! What the heck is "Paleo"? Well, depends on who you read. But (click-->) kind of basically... Followers of this plan believe that our highly processed, carb-obsessed eating pattern is the culprit behind many of our biggest health ills. So, go back to eating the way we ate when we were hunting and gathering: animal protein and plants.
BUT!!!!!! If we aren't to eat grains with gluten, how do we have bread? Using other grains, of course. (Like Almond Flour...) You can still have your bread/pizza/rolls/muffins/etc., but not made with gluten-containing stuff.
To me, one of the biggest aspects is... NOT buying processed foods, in the grocery store. If it has a label on it, and loads of ingredients listed..... It's an Unknown. A Frankenstein-like form of what should be bread, soup, cake, canned fruits, meats, everything.
(LOOK!!! Clear-up-front, and fuzzy-in-back!!!)
Everyone who read here knows that I have to eat Gluten Free. This last 10 days of being sick and having to take Antibiotics and Prednisone, have been an Inflamation Cleansing, for me. How do I know? Because that's what Prednisone does. And because my arthritis-type pain has gone away.
HOOOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Will I go back to eating foods, which again build up inflammation in me? Like processed foods? And sugar?
No, damn it! I won't!
But! What can I substitute for the taste of ol' cane sugar and all its copy-cat-ingredients??????? This is the biggest issue for me. How to deal with necessary sweetening, in the most natural way.
Different folks tell me different things... One says use this, and another says use that, and on... Right now, I'm combining. -grin- But it keeps me from ingesting sugar! That's the point.
Just got one of those funny notices, from Blogger, so... Think it's time to end this post. :-)
You just know, that there will be more coming... On my Quest for the Most Healthy Form Of Sweetening!!! :-)
Meantime, I only have 1 form of cane sugar, I am still ingesting. One Babe, One. :-) My decaf soy Vanilla flavored creamer.

Yep, gluten, processed crap, grains and crummy dairy all gone from my diet and will stay all gone too.
Your grand is GRAND, indeed. :) Very beautiful...AND a pie maker. :)
We have been off sugar for a year now...using IDEAL sugar sub...both white and brown. We are about to go off flour, I think. We are TALKING about it, anyway. :))
good for you...my daughter did Paleo for a while and lost weight...felt so much better...then she got off track because of busyness and moving...and such...but I think she's going back to it...nice home from college grand daughter...
Oh I love rhubarb pie!!
I'm still eating my high fiber diet and drinking plenty of water. It works for me. : )
I think we need to listen to our own bodies most of all because no one seems to agree on what is best!
Auntie, Your g.daughter made a nice pie. I am wishing you the best of luck..my gosh, just not eating sugar is hard..but then to try to eat gluten free and sugar free. I can't imagine how much chance you have to go through. I know America's weight problem is portions but it's also overly processed foods. xoxo,Susie
I have not had rhubarb pie since I was a little girl. I really do not see it much here in the city. In fact, I never even find rhubarb. It looks scrumptious...and your granddaughter is a beauty.

Whatever works for you, Auntie, we want you to be well and happy. I am trying to get back to sugar after using diet sweeteners for years. It's quite a switch for me, but I'm hoping that I can retrain my taste buds not to crave sugar too much.
Oh and your granddaughter is so cute and that pie is hot from the oven. How'd you manage not to have even one little bite?
I have no idea what you can use as a substitute BUT!!!!
I WANT THAT PIE!!Hahahaaaa
hughugs
You have your work cut out for you!!!
Your granddaughter is so pretty! And she must be SWEET, too!!!!
Yum! The pie your pretty g'daughter made looks delish! I need to cut out sugar, too, so if you find a good sweetener, let me know...
I give you a lot of credit for making these changes...I am sure you will find just the right one for you. I need to follow your info.
