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

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...

Stepping Out In Support of Paleo

My goal is for this Blog to help someone make the switch to Paleo and ultimately live a happier and healthier life.  I am stepping out in support of the Paleo lifestyle because it has changed my life and my husbands life for the better.   Please know that I am not a writer.  My "style" if you will, of writing is more conversational than gramatical and I am o.k. with that.  I hope you can be too because I think I have a lot of great experience from learning how to actually live the Paleo lifestyle to share! For now, however, I'd like to share with you my dinner from last night.  I've just returned from an extended trip and my Mr. has been taking care of grocery shopping and meal planning and does it much differently than me but I fused our efforts and made Maple Mustard Chicken Thighs with Cabbage Apple, Bacon, and Walnut Side Dish.  This recipe was taken in part from www.emeals.com  and changed to what we had on hand.   EMeals  is my go...

THE SYMBOL OF A RING

When I started my journey I had something I wanted to accomplish that I probably didn't tell anyone.  I have shared it with a few people after the fact.  In my weight gain and all the things I couldn't do, wear, or accomplish one thing bothered me more than anything.  I couldn't get my wedding ring on my finger. I've always had large hands.  My fingers are puffy and it had been years since I had gotten to wear my wedding ring.  Many mornings it would leave a pit in my stomach and I can't tell you how many times I would try hoping that some of the water weight had made my fingers small enough to slip it on. Our anniversary is in September and a year and half ago I had contemplated having it resized so I could wear it again.  I didn't have a real goal or the gumption to loose weight.  In the end, I was too embarrassed to walk into the jewelry store and admit defeat.  When we began our journey this past August the first thing I started to do ...
