Happy New Year!  It’s January, which means for the majority of American adults, it’s time to think about eating better, at least for a few days.  For me, it’s going to be a month of eating an Autoimmune Paleo diet in hopes that I can figure out a little more about my body.    What the heck is autoimmune paleo?  Well, it’s no fun, that’s for sure.  For thirty days, I will eat just meat, vegetables and fruits, excluding nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplants).  After the month is over, I will add one food back at a time, every three or four days,  to see what it does to me.  I keep telling myself that I can do anything for a month.

January will be full of healthy foods here on the blog.  I won’t limit my posts to things I am eating.  Heaven forbid I get that extreme.  However, there will be a lot of vegetables.  I have been training myself like I was getting ready for a sporting event.  I got three paleo cookbooks for Christmas.  I have been fiddling with coconut and almond milks.  I am proud to announce that I have learned to like not only radishes, but also….Brussels Sprouts.  Yup.  Even I am amazed.  Wait ’til you see what I have done to them.

In the meantime, let me share these sweet potatoes.   I got the idea for them from Lora Krulak’s Veggies for Carnivores book.  Lime and adobo seasoning makes for some mighty good fries.  I had never realized what a kick a little bit of citrus juice gives roasted vegetables.  Lucky for me, I live in the land of citrus.  This time of year, the stores are overflowing with limes, lemons, tangerines, oranges and grapefruits.
