If you wonder what that's all about, here's the technical definition:
"a diet based on the types of foods presumed to have been eaten by early humans, consisting chiefly of meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit, and excluding dairy or grain products and processed food."
So how did we do? Quite well I must say, as our "test" kitchen could attest. We did include a mojito because Paleo or not, we girls got to have our weekend cocktail. We know that diet fads do come and go, but as we take our summer break we sure hope that the habit of healthy eating (with a few splurges here and there - see: mojito) stays with us for good.
