I’m an Omnivore

I was trying to emulate the type of meal that is usually served up at Kanki, a Japanese steakhouse. The stir fry part is pretty obvious. I fried zucchini, mushrooms, and precooked shrimp (probably a bad idea). I assume some people have never heard of swedes, or rutabagas as they are known in the US. They are root vegetables, so I was kind of worried about if this would fit under paleo. I definitely wouldn’t count it as a “grain” which is all I’m focusing on eliminating this month, but eventually it might have to be cut. I actually found a pretty good answer to my question here. Apparently, swedes have a much lower glycemic load than potatoes. So a swede is not par for the course on a seriously strict paleo diet, but it’s probably one of the best options as far as root vegetables go. The best part about swedes is that they have a much stronger, sweeter flavor than potatoes in my opinion.

Admittedly, these were a pain in the ass to cut up, but that’s probably just due to my inexperience with cooking. I haven’t had them prepared any other way, but mashed is awesome.
