Answer 3

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMG4d

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 5

Save this one for the fall:

Hawaiian Baked Beans and Franks

Ingredients:

Family size can of baked beans and pork

4-6 slices crispy bacon, crumbled

Just the fruit of one can of pineapple chunks (drink the juice or use it for some other recipe.)

One to one and a half hot dogs per person, cut into chunks

Up to one sauteed onion (I prefer sweet onions) (to taste)

Method:

Throw all ingredients into a casserole pan, and stir.

Heat thoroughly, and the hot dogs will be plump and the pineapple will be golden brown.

Serve with mashed potatoes and / or cucumber salad.

(Another option:

Cut back on pineapple chunks, if you want to, and add one pineapple ring per serving on top, and put a maraschino cherry in the center of each ring for something special.)

Answer 6

Potato fish cakes:

Mix a can of tuna (or other fish) into some mashed potatos and form into patties. Fry until browned. Serve with a pat of butter and catsup.
