Houston Real Food Nutrition met at Partners in Paleo last Saturday to celebrate the upcoming Houston Wise Traditions Conference, March 29-30, with a WAPF (Weston A. Price Foundation) dinner.  Owner/chef Jeanette Pearson outdid herself for this one.  I was expecting one WAPF-type main course with a paleo option, sides, and a dessert.  Yes, we had that, but Jeanette had way more choices than I expected.

There were actually four entrees available, including two Mardi Gras-themed WAPF choices of red beans and rice with wild boar sausage and chicken étoufée.  In addition, there were two paleo options–grassfed beef marrow bones and roasted chicken.  The first course was a mixed greens salad with toasted walnuts and citrus dressing.  All of the entrees were served with sautéed cabbage and fresh sliced CSA tomatoes.  Dessert was Jeanette’s special paleo pound cake with fresh strawberries and coconut cream sauce.  I got to sample the marrow bones and the red beans, rice and sausage but missed out on the chicken étoufée.  Oh well, maybe next time!

After dinner, there was a short discussion of the benefits of raw milk, which is a primary source of glutathione and fat soluble vitamins.  We all got to sample real, unprocessed raw milk donated by Pure Milk Farms.  It was very creamy and delicious!  Most of the group were already familiar with raw milk, and a lot of us (including me) went back for seconds.

Our door prize, two dozen fresh eggs from pastured chickens, was donated by Valerie Stegemoeller, homesteader at Stegesaurus Farm and a co-leader of the Houston-Galveston chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation.  What a super prize for a nutrition Meetup group!

I am sooo sorry that I didn’t get photos of the wonderful food, but I had a camera malfunction.  We used a cell phone to get a few photos of the later meeting.  Check the Real Food Houston Facebook page for lots of photos of the delicious food at Partners in Paleo.  I eat there often and usually post the photos on Facebook.
