How do you get a teenager to give up on his beloved pizza? Well, that question would stump the great minds of our times. Mackenzie has been going gluten-free for nine days now. Not totally paleo, but at least a move away from eating non-stop grains. His previous diet, though it included lots of great protein, fruits, and veggies, also was full of cereal, bread, pasta, & pizza, and I don't have to tell you that at fourteen, 5'10", and with two hollow legs, this kid could demolish an entire pizza in about two seconds flat.
So what's a paleo mom to do? Make him a Meatza, of course. I used
this terrific recipe from
Justin Owings blog, and it came out terrific.
What was the teenage verdict?
"Wow, this is awesome!"
"Best meat dish yet!"
and
"I think I like this better than pizza!"

He puts all that food into his size 14 feet,
I'm sure of it! |
Say what? Sounds like one happy teenager to me. Best of all, only one piece filled him up (which was a quarter of the Meatza shown in the photo). Yeah, those hollow legs have a hard time finding satisfaction with loads of carbs, but a good dose of free-ranging grass-fed protein and he was satisfied.
And of course, he ate another slice for breakfast.
