Partial paleo...

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.
