I'm envious...

Lucian has now lost 29 pounds!!! I haven't lost anymore... I'm the one that's going to have to wear a wedding dress in 95 days. I am really proud of him, but he's dwindling away.  He's going to have to modify what he's doing to gain more muscle. We're still trying to figure out what that's going to be. He needs to figure it out soon because at this rate he's going to weigh less than me by the time we get married.

I just found a GREAT yogurt. It is gluten-free and FAT FREE. Yoplait Greek 2x Protein Yogurt. At Winco, they have it with honey or with strawberry. I don't think I've tasted anything with zero fat and 14 grams of protein that is so good... and it helps with digestion. Can't beat it!!

I have no new recipes that we've tried lately, so nothing new there.  We're coaching our daughters T-Ball team, so I know we're going to find some quick and easy recipes to start making! I will keep you updated.

Quick post.

I did make the deviled egg recipe below. It came out really good! Had a nice avocado and lemon taste, and with the crisp prosciutto on top it made it even better! I would definitely make it as a nice alternative to the plain deviled eggs that people are so used to having.

I also made this recipe:

It was really good!! I thought it was going to be a little salty, but when all was said and done, it tasted great!! I used what I had, which was tilapia, red onion, green olives (the kind for drinks, packed in vermouth), tomatoes (not roma, dont remember the name), baby bellas, fish sauce, EVOO, chopped jalapeño, salt, pepper, garlic powder and fresh garlic. It came out really good!! Give it a try!

I have a confession...

I haven't been the perfect "cave woman".. I have had so many cheat days lately, I gained a little weight back and had HORRIBLE indigestion for the past 3 days. Ok ok, I learned my lesson. I can't do THAT many cheats. I'm back on schedule now. For breakfast I just had coffee with a touch of organic 1% milk. I should have had more, but I still have bad indigestion.  For lunch, I had 2 eggs (tried to over easy them, but it didn't work too well), and an Andouille artichoke sausage with a detox tea. Not sure about dinner yet. I think it's time to try a new recipe.


Just came across this yummy appetizer I want to try:


Guacamole Devils

Ingredients (for 8 devils):

- 4 hard boiled eggs

- 1 avocado

- 2 teaspoons hot sauce

- 1 tsp lemon juice

- salt & pepper to taste

- 8 thin slices Prosciutto 

I'll post my results and modifications after I make it. Sounds delicious though!! I think I'll probably crisp the prosciutto a little bit so it's more like bacon on top.

Time to go work out!

Best. Snack. Ever.

Before I get to the snack.. I have to brag just a little. We started eating Paleo foods on January 11th. In ONE month, Lucian has gone from 210 pounds to 190 pounds. I can't believe he reached his goal of losing 20 pounds in a month and now is setting a new goal!! I am SOOO proud of him! I have lost about 8 pounds although it isn't coming off as easily for me, I'm not giving up! I'm about halfway to my original goal and I still have a month to go. I have "cheated" and given into a few cravings lately. I think that I have to give in about once a month or else I will go crazy and eat a dozen cupcakes at one time, so I'm ok with my slip ups. :)

So to the snack.... I can't believe I haven't thought about this the past month while eating Paleo. I love toasted seaweed.. well, tonight I came across a recipe for Kale Chips. We didn't have any kale, so I just put in whatever greens I have in my fridge (I think they were mustard greens) and followed the recipe. I ended up making two batches. For both of them, Pre-heat the oven to 300. Batch 1: In a bowl, toss olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Spread out on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Batch 2: In a bowl, toss with apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and olive oil. Bake the same way. They come out sooo good! I saw that someone has tried it with brussel sprout leaves, that will be my next experiment! Here's the finished product:

Our first month is over. I will try to post more with great recipes that we try.

If you're just starting out eating Paleo, don't give up or get discouraged. There is SO much information on the web, just "google" what you're looking for and you will find an answer!
