36 Days until we've been Paleo/Crossfit for 1 Year!

I was able to track my food with phone with pictures today.

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 1/2 avocado, blueberries

Lunch Leftovers: Paleo Jambalaya with Roasted Veggies

Snack: Leftover Guacamole and carrots

Dinner: Emeals Meal

And as I promised on Facebook I am sharing the recipe.

This recipe got 2 thumbs up from the entire Smith Household!  So yummy and so easy.

When I was at the store getting the pork, I had misread and bought bone in chops.  So for the first time tonight I made bone broth!!!  I've boiled chicken bones before but never slow and for as long as I did tonight.  I've read wonderful things about bone broth and its health benefits.  I'm in the process as we speak of turning the bone broth into soup.  I've added random veggies that I had on hand.  Simmering now is carrots, celery, onion, sweet potato, cauliflower, and the rest of our leftover squash, zucchini, and red pepper).  I am having some dental work done tomorrow afternoon and wanted to make sure that I had soft food available to eat for dinner.  It smells so good in my house right now!  I definitely see bone broth more in our future.  I told Mr. that we should make a throw together soup more often so the next time one of us is sick we could have some in the freezer.  Although...we rarely are sick now that we eat Paleo.

I also posted on Facebook today some pictures with my lined up ingredients.  I've written an entire post about that here: Lining Up the Ingredients.  I just want to stress that if you feel overwhelmed in your kitchen while making dinner, lining up the ingredients will help to melt a lot of that dinner time stress away!

Have you ever been making something and get to a key ingredient only to realize you don't have it?  When you line up your ingredients that becomes a non issue.

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 ...
