If you guys read my last post you know that I had quite the time trying to make this banana bread! I guess all things happen for a reason and it was for the best that it didn't turn out the first time. This time I was able to add a couple of ingredients that I didn't have on hand last time (and that I forgot to pick up) that I think just made it 10 times better!
Here I am posting things late again. Sigh! I had a good reason though as I got distracted by Valentine's Day!! Despite being a week late in posting this I still wanted to wrap up our diet "reset." Overall I would say that it was very successful! Adam lost about 5 lbs over the 30 days and several inches combined around his body in size. We also feel a lot better in general!
Well we made it through week 3!! There really is less than a week to go because it's only a 30 day trial. I thought in the beginning that it would never be over…but here we are on the verge of adding back in foods starting mid-week. I have a feeling that next week's post is going to be more about the addition of foods than a 4 week recap. It should be more interesting that way though!
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.
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...
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.
This post is going to be a little different than what is normally expected. Meaning no there will be no recipe. If you were looking for a recipe and don't want to hear me ramble about the way we eat then please read no further! ;)
There aren't many things that beat a nice crunchy delicious chip! Whether you like veggie chips, potato chips, or tortilla chips. They are great on their own or they are great when dipped into the plethora of dip options that we have today.
This is one of my new favorite dishes! I was never much of a sea food fan or a mushroom lover, but for some reason the combination of all these things together just creates a mouth watering meal. Fish is a healthy food to include in your diet and is something that we strive to consume about a half pound of oily fish such as salmon each week. Oily fish like salmon, sardines, and anchovies are a great source of long chain omega-3 fatty acids that help to balance out omega-6 levels in the tissues of the body. It is a good idea to avoid alcohol when consuming fish because mixing alcohol with polyunsaturated fats can cause peroxidization which can result in highly toxic compounds that can damage DNA and cause atherosclerosis. There is a lot of effort that goes into this meal so the directions are a bit lengthy, but just hang in there because the results are worth it!
As most of
you know yesterday marked the first official day of fall. When I think of fall,
I think of cool fresh air, beautiful colors, and of course apple orchards! So,
I thought it would be appropriate to make this first recipe post a posting of a
gluten free, crumble top, apple pie. The boyfriend and I had the chance
to visit my parent’s house this weekend where I knew a 5min drive into the
country would bring us to one of my favorite apple orchards I’ve been too.
