- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced

- Heat non-stick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add coconut oil to pan.

- Using a spatula, fold the empty half over top of the ham and veggies. Cook for 2 minutes longer, then serve.

Now that was good eats. This is my first week on the paleo plan and so far, the meals have been simple to make yet delicious. I emphasize the word simple since I do not cook
, yet I have been successful with every dish till date.
I am glad to be on paleo, now I hope/plan on working on seeing results.
Thank you

Meats like ham, bacon and deli slices have sodium nitrate on it , which is strongly linked to causing cancer.
For every ounce you eat you raise your risk by 20%. Not to mention the sodium content.
If you do eat these make sure you have a very good vitamin C rich food at the same time as this helps to prevent nitrosamine formation.

Hi Sylvia,
We are assuming that people will not be eating ham, bacon or deli slices that have nitrites in them. More natural, uncured and preservative-less ham, bacon and deli slices are available at health food stores and often at normal grocery stores nowadays.
Thanks,

Is it okay if I just not add the ham? I don’t eat red meat so i’m wondering if exculding the ham in this or any recipi for that matter really affects the plan. I mostly eat fish and chicken and sometimes turkey but thats all. Thanks in advance!

@Jules – Doesn’t really make any difference what meat you use for any of the recipes. Just trying to get a protein in there.
