Meal Plan and Emeals: Paleo Flank Steak with Balsamic-Sweet Potato Sauce


Our meal plan and shopping for the week was done Sunday morning before an afternoon of work and basketball.  I was running on fumes through the weekend.  My work schedule has been too packed.  To date I have worked the last 13 of 15 days and that's only because yesterday I decided not to work after a doctors appointment.

I can definitely feel the tension when I over schedule and as a result I had an OFF weekend of eating paleo.  At first I was just letting myself slide on Friday but then the weekend got away from me.  Monday it was back to 100% Paleo.

Our meal plan this week is all Emeals recipes for the week.  I'm excited to share recipes with you including this one: Emeals Paleo Flank Steak with Balsamic Sweet Potato Sauce.  I loved this one for the salad more than anything.  I can give or take Arugula on most days but there is something about the peppery taste of arugula combined with the sweetness of the apple and bitterness of the dressing that did cartwheels in my mouth.  I couldn't wait to have this salad for lunch leftovers and it was REALLY good.  The only things I could think to kick it up a notch is to add some bacon.

I'm excited about our meal plan this week.  Lots of good eating going on in the Smith House!

Just keep moving

I've reset again and have been following my Paleo Lifestyle for over 30 days.  I'm walking, lifting, and eating right! Again, the first 2 weeks were super tough as I detoxed from the sugar and carbs.  But I'm well on the other side of that now and so glad! I do have a little secret to my morning routine that's kept me moving even when my muscles and joints are soar.  I'm sharing this with you and an affiliate link through Amazon. I've added this collagen powder to my bulletproof coffee and can tell a difference.  Some of the added benefits beyond my joints can be found in my fingernails and hair growth.  I'm on my second container of this particular brand. In the morning add 1-2 tsp of coconut oil, 1-2 tsp of grass fed butter, and a scoop of this Collagen Powder to my Magic Bullet and fill the rest with coffee.  10-15 second of blending and it makes a wonderful fat filled coffee that allows my intermittent fasting to happen. After my long morning walks...

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 ...

Paleo Intermittent Fasting--Emeals Paleo Bacon Turkey Meatloaf Recipe included!

At a recent appointment with my favorite Integrative Medicine Physician, Mr. and I were able to lay it out all on the line and learned how to refocus on our health journey.  Dr. W knows of how successful we've been with changing to a Paleo Lifestyle.  He saw us through it every step of the way last time.  So he asked us (individually) what we knew about Intermittent Fasting.  Admittedly, Mr. and I knew very little and probably still don't know much but Dr. W assures us he's super impressed with what he's seen come from research and thought we'd be perfect candidates. So on August 1st (Actually the 31st of July because it was a Monday), Mr. and I started down this path.  Much like the first time I tried paleo I was a little apprehensive.  I've spent the last several years coaching others to eat 3 meals and 2-3 snacks per day.  I've focused on food so much that I wasn't sure how I was going to slow that train down.  I found that 1. It's a lot easi...
