I’m so excited that my cousin has decided to give the Paleo lifestyle a shot, and from what she’s shared with me so far, she’s feeling great! It’s only been a week for her, but she’s made some pretty incredible looking meals which I’ll be sharing with you. I knew Rita was great in the kitchen, but I had no idea just how good; check out this tasty Shrimp Salad she whipped up in no time and keep an eye out for more of Rita’s Recipes to come.
