how to order sushi paleo
“There’s more to good or bad than what’s written in the Rulebook.”I Thought Paleo Was 100% Grain-Free It’s true that Strict Paleo is indeed grain-free, but if you’re in this community any length of time, you’ll see #teamwhiterice popping up on Instagram feeds. Some flexible paleo people (many of them famous bloggers) share food photos containing this one specific grain. In conventional nutrition, white rice is considered the worst choice because unless it’s enriched, it doesn’t have much going for it nutritionally. That’s because the hull has been removed from white rice, which contains the “nutrition”. It turns out that’s also the reason it’s embraced by some corners of the paleo community. The hull also contains the anti-nutrients – those food components that interfere with digestion and nutrient absorption, exacerbating our guts and causing an inflammatory response. Since those anti-nutrients have been removed, many people consider white rice to be a harmless grain.
Therefore, people who want more variety in their diet might add it to their paleo template. Should you do the same? Below, I’ll share the potential positives and negatives of this “paleo grain”, so you can make your own choice. Potential Positives of White Rice Potential Negatives of White Rice So, now you know the pluses and minuses of this “paleo grain.” You may choose to continue to avoid it, or you may want to try adding it back into your diet. If you choose the latter, here’s my advice for the best way to do so: Photo credit: Free Stock Photos (public domain) This post is linked to the following blog carnivals: Fat Tuesday, Allergy Free Wednesday,Skip to Main Content Paleo Sushi Salmon Roll with Cauliflower Rice The Paleo Diet isn’t rice friendly, so we’ve turned to the Internet’s favorite solution: Cauliflower rice! Mixed with a little bit of coconut milk, cooked cauliflower rice has a similar sticky rice consistency, perfectly able to roll up with sashimi grade salmon.
1 purple carrot, very thinly sliced (preferably on a mandoline)
sushi roller machine amazon 6 ounces sashimi-grade salmon ¼ teaspoon aleppo pepper 2 teaspoons coconut aminos, for serving 1. Place cauliflower in a food processor and pulse to get fine ‘crumbs’. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook cauliflower, about 8 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat and stir in coconut milk. 2. Lay nori on a bamboo mat or waxed paper. Lay a dampened paper towel over nori and let soften for 2 minutes. 3. Gently press half of cauliflower mixture onto the lower ⅔ of the nori, leaving about 1½ inches empty on top. 4. Lay half of the carrot slices lengthwise in the middle on top of the cauliflower. Cut salmon into ½” slices and lay a 2 ounce portion on top of carrot. Sprinkle with half of the aleppo pepper. 5. Starting from the bottom, gently roll the nori up, folding over salmon and carrot.
Wet the top section of nori with water and continue rolling to secure. Using a sharp, clean knife, cut into 6 even rounds. 6. Repeat with remaining nori and ingredients. Serve with coconut aminos.

Peel and remove pit from avocado and mix into a smooth texture. Place the wrap on the bamboo sheet. Spread avocado mixture on about 1/3 of wrap then place 1/4 of the cucumber next to the avocado, spread the shrimp on the other 3rd of the wrap.
Then roll up using the instructions above, they might be a little messy but definitely worth every bite. Dip sushi in the coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.

While I call my beloved San Francisco home, I know many folks come in from out of town to visit…so here are some restaurants and food I love in this city! If you need more travel tips, check on this blog post: Practical Paleo Travel Tips. *My favorites – the ones we dine at most often and are casual. ^Favorites that are nicer for a sit-down dinner – reservations recommended or required. Charcuterie board at 15 Romolo. Good thing this was on the bar menu when I met @zestforlifetoday
Check out 15 Romolo’s menu here. Date night steak dinners at Belcampo on Polk. The vino and fries were for Scott. I also had a salad to start. A great picnic lunch from Belcampo – roast beef, Bologna, cabbage & kale salad, Jackson’s honest chips and some spicy mustard. Enjoyed this outside in a parklet with @grassfedgirl. Check out Belcampo’s menu here. A lunch date for Scott and I! For me: the arugula salad with chopped Mary’s chicken for protein (double order, I gave some to him from my bowl) and that’s Manchego cheese shaved on top of mine. For him: the “beets & greens” salad with curried chicken salad for protein. Plus, grape kombucha for me and water for him. We shared the chocolate PB Krispy treat. It’s a definite treat! Check out Blue Barn’s Menu here. Check out Crisp Bake Shop menu here. We ate at this dinner was perfect – highly recommend! This was halibut with English peas over cauliflower. Strauss vanilla bean ice cream + Ritual espresso = a perfect affogato.
Check out Heirloom Cafe’s menu here. Sushi dinner out with friends @sfbaydetox and @powerlifting_in_the_parksf at @ichisushi here in #SanFrancisco – amazing eats! Will definitely be back! 🍣🙌🏻 #nowyouwantsushi #bernal #practicalpaleotravelSF (not Paleo but need to tag it for my sushi loving travelers) – they do #glutenfree quite easily upon request A photo posted by 👻SNAPCHAT: DianeSanfilippo (@diane.practicalpaleo) on May 13, 2016 at 9:08pm PDT Check out Ichi Sushi’s menu here. A breakfast date with Scott. I ordered the avocado toast with an extra egg (because duh), he had sausage & egg sandwich – both on gluten-free bread. Their gluten-free bread is ridic! 🍴🍳☕️Lunch yesterday with @paleofoodiekitchen here in #SanFrancisco at @janeonfillmore. Their avocado toast on #glutenfree bread is seriously ridiculous. If you visit SF, get it. Oh, and we shared a salad that was 👌🏻 too! When I travel, I typically eat more #gf than #paleo and unless you need to be restrictive, I recommend eating as wide of a variety as you can while maintaining your health and happiness. (But I a

Tiradito (Peruvian sashimi with sauce like a ceviche). People ask me all the time what my favorite food is and, until now, I’ve been all “I don’t like to play favorites because I love so many foods.” I lied. Ty favorite food! This one is salmon and I enjoyed it atop their house-made sweet potato chips. SO GOOD.
out La Mar’s menu here. Movers came this day so we ordered delivery for dinner. This is Mediterranean food from La Méditerranée (I called to check that it is all gluten free before ordering delivery): chicken kebabs, saffron chicken, babagannoush and salads. Scott will eat the majority of the delicious saffron rice that came with all of this, and I’ll only have the bits that stuck to my half of the saffron chicken. Don’t ord
er the rice for strict Paleo! Check out La Mediterranee’s Menu here. Lunch date with my honey, Scott at Little Gem Restuarant. Loved what we had, but both felt like our flatbreads could have used a bit more acid and maybe some fresh herbs – the bread is their NON which is gluten and nut-free! Everything here is gluten, dairy, and refined sugar-free. Lovely casual new spot. Check out Little Gem’s menu here. Tacosourced and high quality meat & veggies – need I say more? Oh, happy hour specials. GO HERE.
Taco Tuesday! 🌮 I ordered the carne asasa tacos tonight after my ceviche, as usual, because I'm totally the type to order the same things, over and over, once I decide that I love them. I don't care how delicious your order is, I just want what I already know I'll love. Do you do that, too? Or do you keep trying new things?! (No, corn tortillas aren't Paleo, neither is the cojita cheese on top.) ## #menuloyalty #tacotuesday #glutenfree #glutenfreetraveo #practicalpaleotravel #practicalpaleoTravelSF #sanfrancisco #mamacita A phot

They serve it with corn chips but you could eat it off your fork or on cucumbers if you want to keep it #Paleo / I went #glutenfree with the chips 😉 Oh, then we had tacos…!

I legitimately had not had wild rice in years and I remembered loving it. It was lovely and the nuttiness and texture were great. Check out Mission Heirloom’s menu here. This delicio
us dinner tonight at Park Tavern on Washington Square with our good friends @victoryflair and @stickdogg. Halibut (mine), pork chop (Scott’s), and veal carpaccio with cracklings (shared – this was my favorite dish!) So good! Chrk Tavern’s menu here. Check out The Plant Cafe menu here. This meal was shared post-workout with two badass athletes ~ @jensinkler and her radass (like badass, but radder) rugby friend Pam after a fun training session together. A lunch date with Scott! I’m eating elk burgers on a lettuce wrap with a few sweet potato fries and also had some of the salad. He had the big Market Salad with 2 skewers of beef burgers and the bulk of the sweet potato fries. Here is a great big salad from Roam. The protein is grass fed beef mini burgers. The drink is a coconut kombucha. Check out Roam’s menu here. His and hers at Royal Ground on Polk St. His is regularly drip with almond milk. Mine is decaf Americano with butter. Check out Ro
yal Ground’s website here. Terminal 3 – DogPatch: 3 salads plus chicken. Kale, beets, squash… I squeezed lemon over it or I add some salt because I always think it needs some acid or salt… But it’s pretty in Terminal 3 from DogPatch – butternut squash and kale salad topped with chicken that @grassfedgirl sent with me for my flight. I added Kasandrinos EVOO and splurged on a kombucha. (Use code balancedbites to save 15% on Kasandrinos purchases!) Lunch at @souvlasf today with @paleomg and @fullbodyfix was delicious!
