Paleo challenge day 10 on track!

Enjoyed everything I ate today. I ate more on the heavier spectrum of the paleo diet including a good portion of fried foods - fried chicken and sweet potatoes!   In addition to these bigger meals pictured I ate dried cantaloupe, bananas and sunflower seeds throughout the day.  I'm not doing to good with my greens at the moment and even resorted to adding psyllium husk to my protein shake.  Making a note to get back on the big-salad-every-day program :)

I still can not find a better way to start the day than bacon and eggs!  3 eggs, 2 strips bacon, 1 whole red bell pepper, 1/4 onion.
I have been keeping a secret.  I purchased a deep fryer recently.  This fried chicken is breaded with almond flour instead of regular flour to make it paleo friendly.  Sweet potatoes are one of the tastiest and most fulfilling foods allowed on the paleo plan.  Is deep frying healthy?  You can google it for yourself and formulate your own opinion.  I am using extra-virgin olive oil which is ridicilously expensive.  I am planning on buying a big chunk of leaf lard.  Leaf lard is pig fat and if you google that  you may discover things about nutritional fats you would not believe!
Graces Paleo Puffs - they are on the dark chocolate side which I am adapting to.  I keep telling her to sneak more brown sugar into them!
Picadillo!  This is my 3rd batch and my best.  I used a ton of garlic and an entire large onion as well as a pound of grass-fed beef.  I hope to get 4-6 servings out of this big batch.
