Anyone else reading doing partial paleo eating?  I simply can't do it all the time, due to ridiculously extensive food allergies, a strained relationship with meat & fish (I used to be vegetarian and still am not over having to go back to meat-eating), and mental/physical disabilities that make it hard to do anything other than comfort-food basics sometimes.

I am interested in starting with several paleo meals a week (I am hoping to build up to a couple paleo days a week) to drill paleo basics into my "stand-by" memory (you know, how you can cook what you learned to do when you were 12 in your sleep).  I figure if I just prepare a few things often enough, I'll start to default to better cooking.  Part of this is my "replace willpower with habit" campaign for the year, too. 

If anyone else is up for a half-assed-by-necessity run at paleo, let me know. I'd love to hear from you.

A second question for y'all: Is maca flour paleo-friendly?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maca  
Maca is a Peruvian root vegetable used by humans and livestock. It's got all kinds of weird and wonderful medicinal properties and the flour is equivalent to cereal grain flours in nutritional value. I just picked up a scoop of it and want to give it a go.

In the opposite vein of [personal profile] mac's post, is anyone else here doing the Whole30 this month? I want to transition to eating more paleo - and this vacation to my mom's house has cemented that desire. She's a carbavore, and my gut has been yelling at me for about three days straight. I wasn't 100% at home, but I was moving closer and closer to it over the last two months. Now I really want to dive into it when I get home.

But, I won't be starting till a few days after I get home. I have to kitchen-purge and go shopping before I go full force. I looked up the farmer's market that's open the day after we get home, so I'll have to get up extra early to hit it up. There are benefits to living in Austin, and that is year-round Farmer's Market produce.

My biggest problem is eating out or eating at a friend's house. I really don't want to be rude, but I'm going to have to buck up.
