I am totally, fully, completely, one hundred percent, positively obsessed with fish. It is seriously all I want for lunch, dinner and, may I dare say, breakfast. Yup. That’s right, I crave fish for breakfast these days.

I have been having my fish along with boiled, grilled or raw vegetables, and it’s become a love affair. It feels so fresh, so light, so healthy. Could a Paleo girl ask for more? Nope. I don’t think so.

Being in love with fish and vegetables is what every Paleo follower dreams will happen some day. And it’s happening to me right now.
