When I started the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) first, I dreaded the thought of having people over for dinner. I used to think that no one would eat my food because I had this image that I would be eating spinach and salads for every meal. Don’t get me wrong, I love spinach and salads but there are so many foods I can eat that I have grown to love.
This combination might sound quite weird at first but believe me the sweet and savoury combination works here, really, really well. They also look impressive on a plate and good enough to serve at any party not just a Paleo party! My Mom thought they were “pigs in blankets” so then my husband said “lets call them figs in blankets”. I said “that would be great honey except they are dates not figs”. True story 🙂
