dinner tonight with guests

[LoveTrains]

I have some new friends coming over for dinner tonight. They do paleo, so I am cooking them a paleo meal. Which would you rather have? It's like 60 degrees and sunny so its OK for grilling.

paleomg.com/grilled-pineapple-burgers-avocado-cream/ with paleomg.com/cinnamon-bacon-backyard-sweet-potatoes/ and an arugula salad 

OR

I'd go with the pork. I love burgers but don't like the pineapple and the idea of a burger without a bun makes me sad.
The sweet potatoes look delicious.

The pork.

I like fruity meat, but not everybody does,so I think the pork is a safer bet.

I'm not a fan of most of the recipes I've gotten from PaleOMG, but the burgers seem like a safer bet.

But the pork has a fruit glaze, too. Uh oh. 

FWIW I emailed the two recipes and they said either looks good to them and they love this blog. (I just wanted to make sure I was making something they would eat!)

Tell them to take their caveman diet and shove it for one nice meal with friends.

You could put the glaze on the side and let them use it if they want.

Stupid GBCN ate my post.

Putting it on the side is a good idea.

Bonus: If you put it on the side, you may have some leftover to do something else with the glaze.  

Also, if they approved the recipe you should be okay.  Without looking at the recipe, I thought the glaze was just over the sweet potatoes, but now see it goes over everything.

Yeah I eat Paleo and I agree with this, LOL.

I really hate for people to go out of their way to accommodate my diet. When I am out I eat "regular" food.

However, I don't have any allergies or major intolerances so I can eat whatever is made for me.

[LoveTrains]

I actually offered to make something paleo for them - just so you don't think they are assholes. They are actually very, very nice people!

That is very sweet and accommodating of you, LoveTrains! I would be very appreciative of you if I were having dinner at your house

I hate fruity meat so for sure the pork.

I love fruity meat but hate coffee, ha!
