I recommend making a few tiny hot cakes to be nibbled on during cooking at the start until you get the heat exact.Mix together all other ingredients ...

Basic Beef Stew
Few meals say “comfort food” like beef stew. And if you skip the potatoes, and serve with a side salad of mixed greens, you’ll have a great meal that doesn’t pack on the pounds, while still giving you that belly full of comfort that feels so good especially in the chilly fall and winter months. This is a bare bones basic version of beef stew, so feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as green beans (my favorite addition), broccoli, cauliflower, or (gasp) potatoes.

Caveman Coffee Cereal
Wait a minute! Cereal is NOT paleo (or primal or caveman or whateveryouwannacallit). But this "cereal" has no grains. I'm talking no Corn Flakes, no Wheaties, and no Rice Puffs. What it does contain though is a hell of a lot of nuts, and it's not something I would recommend as your regular first meal of the day. But for the occasional indulgence and flashback to that bowl of happiness you used to pour as a kid before sitting down to watch Saturday morning cartoons, there are worse options.

Fall Off The Bone Beef Short Ribs
