This was one of the million recipes I made over the second weekend of our diet "reset." It was also one of the nicest. You can make this recipe on the stove with it only needing 15 min of cooking time but I needed the stove for the other recipes I was working on so I just whipped this one together in the crock-pot instead.
Yep, I'm guilty as charged! I was inspired on this one by pinterest…but that's bound to happen every once and a while right? Sigh. I mean there are just sooooo many things out there that eventually there's gonna be overlap. I saw this recipe and I'm like this would be so perfect for a side for our diet "reset." So, I just couldn't resist.
I’m sitting here in a really nice hotel being spoiled by
Adam while he is off learning taping techniques!Can’t say that I’ve got anything to complain about whenever
he has seminars to attend on the weekends ;).The only maybe thing I could complain about is that I’m not home to do
some cooking.
This recipe has been by far my favorite for the week! I could have eaten this stuff everyday all day. But then again I've always been a big fan of pesto and of chicken salad. This recipe is another one that came from Chis Kresser's book. When I first saw this recipe I was so excited because it was going to teach me how to make pesto. Which is super easy, by the way. Well, as long as you can find enough basil in the grocery store!
Having to give up butter was hard, but being able to replace it with ghee made it much less painful!
I thought it would be a good idea to do a first week re-cap on how things have been going with this 30 day reset diet fiasco. Let's just start off with saying that it's been a bit rough for me. Although things would be a thousand times easier if we had a dishwasher! Never again will we rent a place without a dishwasher! How "un-paleo" of us...
These kale chips were my second attempt at making a snack that tastes decent but is still healthy for you. My first attempt was at making nori chips. If you have no idea what they are that's okay because I didn't either until today. Basically it was chips made from seaweed!
Ever since Adam and I decided that we were going to start eat healthy (even before this reset experiment) I've been an avid reader of ingredient lists. Adam sometimes thinks that I am an overly avid reader of ingredients. You would be surprised though if you're not an ingredient reader of all these stuff they put into simple foods now-a-days.
Hey everyone! Adam and I are going to be switching it up a bit for the next month or so. Adam recently read Your Personal Paleo Code: The 3-Step Plan to Lose Weight, Reverse Disease, and Stay Fit and Healthy for Life by Chris Kresser and in it he talks about how to reset your diet and body. To do this you remove any potential pro-inflammatory foods from the agricultural and industrial age even though you may not be specifically sensitive to them. It then allows you to add different foods back into your diet, and in doing so you can self-experiment to help you decide if you have any reactions to any of these foods.
Can you say ceramic knives!? Okay well maybe that's a little overkill on the excitement scale but they are a pretty cool thing. I've never done a review before so I will give it my best try. Supposedly these knives are the latest and greatest addition to the cooking world. Everyone is talking about them and anyone who does lots of chopping pretty much wants one.
Well here I am attempting to make brussels sprouts that are edible. I've been shying away from this vegetable for so long in the grocery store because of all of the unsuccessful brussels spouts I've tasted over my time. I do have one memory of having some brussels sprouts that I thought where really good, perhaps that is why I haven't given up on them completely.
Here I am on another Sunday night just working on my lovely blog post for this week. First off I just wanted to stay thanks to my readers for the amount of views I've been getting in the past couple of weeks! It makes me feel all giddy with excitement because I'm actually somewhat popular (which has never happened before…especially in high school! haha). Most importantly though I'm glad people are finding what I hope they consider some great tasting recipes to try at home!
I had the joy of making this recipe for my family while I was at my parents for the holidays. It was Adam's idea and I must say I was a bit skeptical with being stuck in my old ways. The way I used to make chili was with meat, beans, and veggies. Making a more paleo friendly chili meant taking out the beans. I thought if you were to do that, then it is not chili!
This isn't in the top 5 but is one of my favorite recipes and photo shoot of the year!
Happy New Year to all!!! Here I am again being behind on getting this post out but to my defense I am as sick as can be and have been for about a week now. Anytime this cold wants to clear out of my system would be great. But hey, a cold has never listened to me in the past so why would it now…just taking it's sweet 'ol time. Sigh!
