35 Days to go until we've been Paleo/Crossfit for 1 year! PLUS it finally feels like summer!

My boys and I had a fantastic day!  I got to sleep in and they got to do several fun things throughout the day!  It was a win-win!  I started my day off differently than most...I didn't have eggs.  I know shocking right?  I had a couple of bananas that needed to be used today and so I looked up a couple recipes for Paleo banana Pancakes and constructed my own.  A little of this and a little of that and I was consuming this yumminess!


I don't have a recipe to share because it was honestly a little of this an a little of that but the end result was fantastic.  I used 2 ripe bananas, 2 eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, honey, dark chocolate, coconut flour and almond flour.  I let it sit for about 4-5 min. while the coconut oil fully melted on the skillet.  Then I just poured about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.

After breakfast the boys and I headed to our wonderful Library for a Bubblefest.  They had fun experimenting with bubbles!


I had packed our lunch before we headed out for the day and we had a fun picnic at the park.  I heated up my leftovers before we left and put them in a thermos.  We ate and then the boys played.  Eventually we ended up having timed competitions on the monkey bars followed by timed competition of running the bases.  I even got my jog on running the bases at the softball field.  We ended our park time by laying our blanket out on the grass and reading a chapter and a half of the book we are working on.  It finally felt like summer!


When we got home I put together a chicken marinade for dinner and got dinner prepped before heading to the neighborhood pool for a quick dip.  Then it was time to head to my dental appointment.  I was so nervous before the appointment but overall it wasn't so bad.  I survived and didn't even truly need the bone broth I had made last night.  But I had some for dinner anyway because I couldn't wait to try it.  I promise it tastes so much better than it looks!

Dinner was fantastic and really hit the spot.  There is not many things better than grilled chicken during the summer.  Actually anything grilled really hits the spot for me!  This Orange Chicken was served with sauteed kale which we are all really beginning to like!

And finally...I mentioned yesterday that I thought it would be a good idea to start saving bones in order to make more bone broth.  And what better time to start than tonight.  I put these bones in the freezer and plan to add to the bag until I have enough to make another batch of bone broth.  So yummy!

5 Simple Steps to Understanding Paleo for Beginners

Just 6 months ago Mr. and I were beginning our Paleo Journey.  We started at our local Crossfit Gym Crossfit Seymour .  Friends of ours own the gym and they were having a 30 day Paleo/Crossfit Challenge.  Lucky for us Coach Sam had a 30 day meal plan prepared that he shared with us.  We didn't have the stress of deciding what we were having for dinner.  He had recipes that he and his wife had gathered that he shared with us.  We did the bulk of our cooking on Sunday, which he called our Sunday WOD (workout of the day).  It was at the end of our 30 day challenge when Mr. and I decided we wanted to adopt the Paleo Lifestyle that I found myself stressed and anxious about what to do next.   The answer for us was Emeals . I've written a post about emeals you can find here:  Paleo Emeals .  This was a great starting point for us that took a lot of the planning and stress off my shoulders.  It still allowed me to learn more.   ...

10 Things Couples Starting their Paleo Journey Should Know!

Mr. and I started our Paleo Journey pretty much together.  I can't say that it was a smooth beginning.  We definitely have learned a lot through the process and continue to do so.  Here's a quick list of 10 things you should know when starting the Paleo Journey as a Couple!   1. Support from your partner! Support from your partner is key to your journey.  It's been one of the best things we've done as far as our relationship is concerned.  We've literally lost a person (130 lbs) in 6 months.  It's not all been pretty but we are a stronger TEAM because we've been on the journey together! 2.  There's No 'I' in Team! Teamwork makes the dream work!  I couldn't have done this without Mr. rolling up his sleeves and pitching in.  We both like to be in the kitchen but neither of us is fond of the clean up afterwards.  We do teamwork with cooking when we are both home.  This way it doesn't fall on one persons sh...

I HEART EGGS!

Pre paleo, I was not a breakfast eater.  I would go in spurts but a bowl of cereal or a cup of yogurt were about as much as I ever thought of regarding breakfast.  I am not a morning person either, so many days I would be running too late for breakfast.   Then came Paleo.  As I was learning how to navigate the lifestyle I was already tired of eggs.  I didn't love eggs.  I promise I've been trying to avoid loving them but something happened to me in the last 6 months and it's time that I come clean.  I love eggs!  I look forward to them every morning. Sometimes at night I think about how I will make them the next day! Woo...that feels better. So now that it's out there, let me tell you how I learned to love them.  Every day I try and fix them a different way and I rotate through the week.  Fried hard, Fried Soft, Scrambled, Scrambled with Veggies are on constant rotation at my house.  Then I try to switch up what I have with ...
