Meal Plan++Paleo Mulligatawny

Thank you to everyone that responded to my survey.  I really appreciate the feedback and look forward to sharing with you this year.  Meal planning has been our best asset to following a paleo lifestyle.  We use emeals and follow the Paleo Meal Plan.  Every week I get an email with lunch and dinner options and I make our meal plan based on the activities we have on our calendar. Wednesday's I work 13-14 hours and so you can bet that I almost always use my crock pot on those nights.  Otherwise, I try to match up the easier meals for our heavier loads on our calendar.   Here's our meal plan for this week. I write out our menu plan on this magnet that's on our fridge.  It makes it easier for me to remember to pull meat and thaw from the freezer in advance. That Jambalaya is in my Instant Pot (on slow cooker mode) as we speak.


I've done a horrible job of food pictures that last couple of weeks but wanted to share this recipe with you.  I made it before Christmas.  For our Christmas Eve meal we decided to do a family soup cook off.  I chose this soup to bring.  IT WON!!!  You could make it on the weekend and pack it for lunches for the week.  hmm...I might have to prep and freeze this for an upcoming surgery.  Recipe to my Christmas Eve winning soup here: Mulligatawny

Reset in Progress

So for the next two weeks as I reset my habits and start the cleanse, it may be important for those closest to me to tread very lightly.  I was pretty ill for most of the month of December especially that last week or so.  My body is very ready to cleanse and detox and begin the healing process. The Smith household is having a Paleo Reset starting today.  I sort of wish it was as easy as pushing a reset button but unfortunately it is not.  We started Saturday by cleaning out the refrigerator and the pantry.  We did meal plan and shopping Sunday morning.  We stumbled upon a great price on a whole chicken that was antibiotic and additive free.  So I cooked it in the Instant Pot Sunday to have protein for the week.  After it cooled, I shredded it and put the bones back in with Fish Oil, Carrots, Garlic, and Onion and cooked it for 2 hours to make fresh bone broth.  This made 3 mason jars full of broth. I also made an egg quiche ty...

6 Days! Mr. and will be Paleo/Crossfit for 1 year!

I am in party planning mode starting today!  Mr and I are having a Paleo/Crossfit celebration with all our supporters to celebrate 1 year of Paleo/Crossfit!  Mr. is only 4 lbs away from goal!  I find myself slowly chipping away at mine.  I know I will get there.  I've had a string of bad days through the summer.  Too many "cheats." This past week I've learned that my stomach can no longer handle "fried" anything.  And unfortunately I learned the hard way twice within the past week (insert sad face).  It was a great reminder though for me about why Paleo works for me and my body.  It helps me fall in love all over again with this lifestyle and how it works in our lives. I celebrated my birthday this past week.  A friend of mine was an inspiration for a new tradition that I started.  Every January she picks a focus word for the year.  She makes it her focus for the year through prayer and life.  I decided to pick a focus w...
