Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that once they start a diet or want to make a change in their eating habits to look better or live a healthier lifestyle, that some event in our lives inhibits us from eating the way we want to? For example, We start to eat healthy for a few weeks and just feel great right? We get better sleep because of it, we want to do more household things (sometimes haha), we treat our neighbors better, I mean we just start seeing the glass half full right? Then what happens? We get invited to a birthday party, or there is a holiday, a celebration, a big game on, etc, and you are the only person in the corner drinking water, eating carrots and celery sticks, because you want to keep your healthy eating habits, while everyone is having greasy wings, chips and dip, cake and ice cream, having a great time. Therefore, I feel so eager to have to share this information out to those who have not heard of Paleo Nick before.

Nick Massie, “Paleo Nick”, has been a crossfitter since 2008 and a cook for over 18 years now, and specializes in clean, nutrient dense, sustainably sourced foods. His recipes range from appetizers, Mexican food, Japanese food, desserts, etc. In other words he makes meals that are extremely healthy for you and taste amazing! If you visit his website at PaleoNick.com, you will see that there is an assortment of different cultural dishes that you can cook from. One of my favorite appetizer dishes that I made for the Super Bowl this year was his bacon wrapped shrimp and sweet potato jalapeƱo poppers, talk about Heaven haha. Now I can spend the next three pages writing about the recipes and ingredients for his dishes, but I would rather everyone go on the site or on YouTube and find out for themselves! 

As someone who enjoys the festivities that parties and celebrations have to offer, I am really glad that I was able to stumble upon Paleo Nick. His recipes make you feel that you can still enjoy the indulgences of life without having to feel guilty about getting off track on your diet. I felt the need to write about Paleo Nick and reveal to him to those who do not know about him, because I know that eating healthy sometimes, or most of the times haha, can feel like a job, which is why I hope that looking at his site will skew people’s perception on what healthy meals can actually look like, not just your typical broccoli, leaf of lettuce, and plain chicken breast.
I hope that everyone has a great Easter Sunday and tries some of Paleo Nick’s recipes today!
