Coconut Refresh Smoothie
I'm feeling super inspired today. Well maybe not just today, but lately. My path is getting clearer and clearer despite so many unknowns. Um, ironic much? Is that even the right use of the word ironic? I feel like the other day I heard we use that word incorrectly all the time... anybody else know what I'm talking about? Do you remember when your career path/passion became clear? Are you still figuring it out? No matter where you are, … [Read more...]
Kale Chopped Salad
I used to HATE kale in salads. I thought kale was too tough, too chewy, too grassy. I think I had some bad ones. Someone else I was with ordered on in a restaurant one time and when I tried it I was pleasantly surprised! It was tender. I wasn't chewing and chewing the same bite feeling like a grass-grazing cow. I was converted. I learned that it's important to slice the kale thinly. That helps. Also, dressing the salad 10-30 minutes … [Read more...]
BLTC Salad
Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato. Caesar. BLTC. Heck yeah. So I lied. I said two posts ago when I talked about stress that I'd not just share mental, physical, and spiritual symptoms of stress but also what the speaker said you can do to alleviate stress. Annnd I didn't. I left you all looking at a long list going, I have that, that, that, that, that, and that. Great. Now I'm more stressed realizing how much I show signs of stress! … [Read more...]
Sweet Potato Spaghetti Bolognese
I went out to eat a few weekends ago to a local Durango spot. The husband and I had a little date night. Gotta keep things romantic, ya know? It was probably my favorite meal/restaurant we've had in town yet! He started with a whiskey cocktail, me with sparkling rosé, and we kicked the night off right with some oysters. Gosh, I love those things. The first time I ever had one … [Read more...]
Creamy Chicken Marsala
Chicken. Marsala. Oh, heck yes. I love chicken marsala. Seriously, one of my favorite flavors of all time. Oh man. Umm, the best. Yikes, I need to watch it or this could starting to sound like a line from Fifty Shades of Grey, all this oooh-ing and aaah-ing. Which, by the way, I haven't heard anything about the movie? Has anyone seen it yet?? Or are you all too hesitant to watch it in the theater. Waiting for the DVD, eh? I couldn't … [Read more...]
Un-Buns
Primal. Nut free. Grain Free. Flour free. How do you make sturdy, fluffy, pliable buns out of whole food ingredients? EGGS! That's right, the main ingredient that takes traditional processed sandwich buns and turns them into UN-buns is eggs. The egg is so darn versatile. These rolls, do need a bit of dairy though or they just don't work the same way. So far in my attempts without diary, the rolls were crumbly and didn't quite hold … [Read more...]
Apple Breakfast Sausage
When I was training for my Ironman Triathlon in 2009, I was focused on trying to incorporate more protein into my diet. This was because after a self-analysis of my diet, I found I was not eating near enough protein. The easiest and quickest way I found to add protein to breakfast was to have this … [Read more...]
Herbed Green Bean and Radish Salad
If you are following a clean paleo diet (which means you follow the strictest paleo diet guidelines) you would not eat green beans. They'd be on the "do not fly" list. Green beans are in fact "beans" as their name denotes. Beans are legumes. The paleo diet does not include legumes. … [Read more...]
