What Are Mark’s Daily Apple Readers Eating?

WinningMealThree days ago I asked you to email me your meal pics. I only gave you a day. Only 24 hours. And in that time I received over 600 pictures of meals. And not just pics. Many people included recipes, some even included ste- by-step photos, starting with the chicken laying the egg they’d later omeletify. A big thank you to everyone who sent in a photo. I’m truly amazed by the participation level for this contest, and I hope it keeps up for the rest of the challenge.

A big congrats to the winner Michael who cooked himself a rib eye smothered in peppers and onions, and a sweet potato with coconut oil, cinnamon and an avocado.

There won’t be any Weekend Link Love this month. I’m reserving Sundays for reader-created content, starting with 200 of the meal submissions (didn’t have time to upload all 600!). Enjoy…

Imagine you’re George Clooney. Take a moment to admire your grooming and wit. Okay, now imagine someone walks up to you and asks, “What’s your name?” You say, “I’m George Clooney.” Or maybe you say, “I’m the Clooninator!” You don’t say “I’m George of George Clooney Sells Movies Blog” and you certainly don’t say, “I’m Clooney Weight Loss Plan”. So while spam is technically meat, it ain’t anywhere near Primal. Please nickname yourself something your friends would call you.

  1. I would gladly share a meal with any of you. Truly marvelous!

  2. “What Are Mark’s Daily Apple Readers Are Eating?”

    Is it just me or does that sentence make no sense? Is no one checking the grammar in the title of the post before posting?!??

  8. The one thing I hate about these posts is not knowing what some of the dishes are…pure torture I tell you, pure torture, lol.

    Randy wrote on September 12th, 2010
    • Nevermind, just saw that the dish names are in light grey – must be going blind too.

      Randy wrote on September 12th, 2010
  9. I see at least 3 pictures that have green beans in them- all in the legume family, not very primal…? Obviously not the worst of evils, but…

    Daniel wrote on September 12th, 2010
    • I’m pretty sure that green and wax beans are not the same as kidney, black, pinto beans, etc. The test for me? You can eat them straight out of the garden, without that nasty 3+ hours soaking/cooking.

      Erin wrote on September 12th, 2010
      • Actually, they are the *exact* same thing. Green/wax/string beans are just the young, immature seed pods of the Phaseolus vulgaris AKA common bean of the Fabaceae legume family. This very same species becomes black, pinto, kidney, white beans.

        Daniel wrote on September 13th, 2010
    • I was thinking the same thing. I thought they were a big no no!

  12. I never thought to add my recipe! :( It would have been cool to win but just seeing my dish on the website was cool!

    Mark wrote on September 12th, 2010
  13. Lots of avocados! I always try to incorporate a nice ripe one into at least 1 meal/day.

  26. Everything looks so unbelievably fantastic.

    The world of the vegetarians should place 200 photos of there dinners on a webpage and then America can vote for which one looks better…

    We win.

  27. Sort of disappointing that the recipes weren’t included at least for some of the entries.

  28. My zero carb meals of some meat, some eggs and maybe butter would be boring to most, but 18 months of ZC and I’m going for life!
