It will be much easier to communicate this way with our fellow paleo challenge comrades as well.<br />
<br />
Day 3 and it looks like we have officially 29 participants that have committed to clean eating, deer antlers, crazy wods and locking up the liquor cabinet for 8 weeks. Best of luck to all! <br />
<br />
<br />
I was contacted by Alex Born of <a href="http://www.rebornhealth.com/">www.rebornhealth.com</a> about his Paleo Coaching business. He offers grocery store field trips for anyone interested in learning how to navigate the grocery store. He will be hitting Schnucks, Trader Joes, and Whole Foods and all the details can be found on the website.<br />
<br />
Have you done any food prep yet for the rest of the week? Nicki and Erin got together and made Paleo Lasagna among other things - here is a link to their recipe at an AWESOME paleo blog - check it out:<br />

Thought you all would appreciate this one as well:)<br />

But now I have no more excuses, BARx CrossFit will be participating in the <a href="http://www.lurongliving.com/challenge2013/" target="_blank">Lurong Paleo Challenge </a>starting September 16th and I am ready to dust off my Paleo Recipe book and start practicing what I preach. There are some great resources out there and I am not going to take the time to go into detail on why you should give this challenge a try, except - what do you have to lose? 8 weeks of eating healthy and seeing what good food can do for your body composition, energy, athletic performance, and recovery.<br />
<br />
I will in my best effort try to post all of the recipes I experiment with over the next two months. I will not be reinventing the wheel, so there will be links to the places I find these recipes as well as reposting some of the tried and true recipes that I have used in the past. This morning starts off with Crispy Pork Egg Squares.<br />

<b>Crispy Pork Egg Squares</b><br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
Left over Pulled Pork tenderloin*<br />
eggs<br />
salt and pepper<br />
Avacado<br />
<br />
I filled the bottom of a mini loaf pan with pork but you could use a muffin pan as well. Crack an egg on top and bake at 375 for 20-25 min. There was enough meat for 4 squares today and I wrapped up the leftovers to get me through the rest of the week. Everything is better with avacado so I topped it with 1/2 an avacado and sprinkled a little Franks Red Hot on top.

<ul>
<li>½ sweet potato</li>
<li>1 chicken thigh, excess fat removed</li>
<li>2 slices of bacon</li>
<li>baby spinach</li>
<li>salt and pepper, to taste</li>
</ul>
<div>
Instructions</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Cook whole sweet potatoe in microwave (4-8 min depending on watts).</li>
<li>Add your two slices of bacon to frying pan.</li>
<li>Salt and pepper both sides of your chicken thigh.</li>
<li>As soon as some of the fat begins to render in your pan, push the bacon to one side and place your chicken thigh into the bacon fat.</li>
<li>Cook chicken and bacon on one side for about 4-5 minutes, then flip.</li>
<li>Your bacon will cook a bit faster, so once it is done, place your sweet potato in a bowl and top it with bacon.</li>
<li>To finish the chicken thigh through, add a tablespoon of water and cover for about 3-5 minutes or until cooked through. Do what I do, check before you much.</li>
<li>In the last minute or so, add a handful of baby spinach leaves</li>
<li>Add chicken thigh to your bowl.</li>
<li>Last but not least, grab a fork and knife and cut it all up. Mix it all together.</li>
<li>Top with a pinch of salt and pepper.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<br />
I (personally) scoop my sweet potato out of the skin before putting it in the bowl. I love this recipe because I can make it for myself for a quick meal but it would be easy to quadruple and make for the family. The picture (and original recipe) doesn't include cooked spinach. I added it to get my greens in and thought it was delicious.</div>

YES, I eat brussel sprouts for breakfast and I love them - just try it!! This takes about 10 minutes to whip up and it provides my protein vegis and fat and fills me up.<br />

<b>Fried Egg Brussel Sprout Skillet Breakfast</b><br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
about 8 brussel sprouts - end cut off and chopped<br />
2 slices bacon (try to use good quality since you are leaving in the fat)<br />
salt and pepper<br />
2 eggs<br />
1/2 avacado<br />
<br />
Cut up bacon into bite size pieces and cook in skillet until about half way done. Add brussel sprouts, salt and pepper and cover, stirring occasionally for about 5 min. When bacon looks done and sprouts are soft crack two eggs on top and recover. Turn off heat after 1-2 min and leave covered until eggs are set to your liking. I serve with avacado on top.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795830030275774530.post-67690300119329757512013-02-07T07:54:00.002-08:002013-02-07T07:54:44.346-08:00Dare I tempt you with a couple of Paleoish yet non-whole 30 recipes to get back into a little more relaxed eating? Maggie passed a great chocolate chip cookie recipe to me that I just whipped up and it is super easy. Yes, chocolate chip cookies are on my "Worth It" list because they make me happy, so I thought it would be best to find a recipe that is somewhat paleo and makes a relatively small batch so I am not tempted to scarf down large quantities.<br />

Another great recipe that was passed along by Karen is a Spaghetti Squash Lasagna. This one has cheese, but spaghetti squash takes the place of the pasta. If dairy is what you plan to reintroduce first this sounds like an excellent choice.<br />

Hopefully this has been a great experience and you have gotten rid of a lot of poor food habits as well as picked up many new good ones. The Whole 30 website has some great advice on their <a href="http://whole9life.com/2013/01/whole30-wrap-up/" target="_blank">wrap up page</a> as well as in the "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1936608898/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=whole9-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1936608898" target="_blank">It Starts With Food</a>" book about how to reintroduce foods to your diet gradually so you can figure out what foods are making you feel cruddy and which ones are can be put back on the table so to speak in moderation without too much distress. In looking through their website I stumbled upon the forum topic of the Worth it and Not Worth it List. Brian just finished his Whole 30 journey and sent me a wrap up summary that he said I could share. Take some time and write up your own summary and send it to me!<br />
**Brian is restesting soon and I will make sure to post his weight, inches, and performance stats.<br />

This one was a quick creation that turned out really good so I am sharing. When you have some time cook up some ground beef and place it in quart size ziploc bags and freeze it. Then you have ready meat for whenever you need to make something in a pinch. I am a big fan of curry and if you like curry you will love this. If you don't like curry - your loss! I have to put the leftovers in smaller containers so I don't eat it all in one sitting!<br />

<u><b>Hamburger and Butternut Squash Curry</b></u><br />
<br />
2 ziploc baggies of frozen cooked ground hamburger<br />
(about a pound)<br />
1 jar Trader Joe's Curry Sauce<br />
1 butternut squash cubed (can buy this precut at Dierbergs or Trader Joes)<br />
1 can organic butternut squash<br />
1/2 can coconut milk<br />

Instead of parsnips I used the golden turnips I got in my Local Weekly Harvest Box and it was OUTSTANDING! I am sitting here very uncomfortably full from eating WAY too much of it, but good news is I do have some left for dinner (probably breakfast because I wont be able to wait) tomorrow.<br />

I am back however and have a TON of great recipes to share. Thanks to all of you who have embraced cooking and experimenting the Whole 30 way I have some great recommendations. I am also hoping to get some of the recipes from our Whole 30 Challenge Dinner last Friday night at Local Harvest. What a great turnout!! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did, I love hearing everyone's stories, sounds like you all are over the hump and settling in to a nice food routine. Ok - here it goes, this first one came in from Julie Johnson and has already been tested and given two thumbs up by Brian.<br />

<div>
1.
Before you ever put the rub on, make sure this fits in the slow cooker.
I have my second one cooking right now, and both had to be trimmed to
fit in there. It doesn't have to have much space to move around, just so
you can get the whole thing in and the lid on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2.
One of the more important things involves the fat. When you purchase a
pork but, one side will be the fat side. This will have a thick, approx
1/2 inch layer of fat on it. Its important to cook the pork with this
fat on. However, you'll want to trim it back almost until its off, like a
flap. When putting on the rub, pull back the layer of fat, put in your
rub, and then close it. Cook the pork but with the FAT SIDE UP. Once its
finished you would be able to remove this with a quick swipe of the
knife and throw it away. I've made a short video of this to help
explain.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3.
The sauce thickens up quite a bit after a day or so in the fridge, but
initially will be very runny which is fine. I found the recipe made
enough sauce for several batches of the pork so I didn't make any sauce
the 2nd time around. </div>

"<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">My
twists: I forgot green onion so I used dried chives. I also used
homemade Paleo-specific mayo that Randall made earlier this week instead
of store mayo. Used half of a large sweet potato in place of white
potato (and mashed up the rest for a small side). I also cut back on the
coconut oil for frying because I don't like a ton of oil. Warning: I
used two spatulas to turn them as they are quite delicate until the egg
cooks through after flipping.</span></div>

Had them last night with some leftover pork. I think this is slowly starting to grow on my family too. No one has asked me where the rice or potatoes is lately and I don't even think they have noticed they are getting two vegis or a fruit and vegi instead! Made a salad with lettuce, blueberries and walnuts with oil and balsamic vinegar and that was not as successful, but they did eat about half . Ahh there is hope for a healthier family.<br />

You have to like salmon and shrimp, but this roasted Salmon and shrimp chowder is fantastic!! I made this with leftover salmon I had baked two nights before, and some cooked shrimp that I picked up at the shrimp bar. If you are a chowder lover you must try it.<br />

1.5 lbs extra lean ground beef (or ground turkey)<br />
1 cup chopped onions<br />
1 jar (24-26oz.) organic spaghetti sauce. I used Schnuck's "Full Circle" Portabella<br />
2 cans Del Monte diced tomatoes with zesty green chilies<br />
2 cans of beef broth<br />
1 lb. frozen mixed vegetables (I used the Asian mix with asparagus, green beans, carrots, yellow squash, celery and mushrooms)<br />
1 tsp. pepper<br />
1 cup water<br />
<br />
In a large pot, cook the beef and onion until the meat is no longer
pink. Drain grease. Dump in all ingredients except for the veggies and
bring to a boil. Stir in the frozen vegetables and lower the heat to
low to medium. Cook for an hour (covered) stirring occassionally.
NOTE: I usually make this with turkey and can't tell the difference. </div>

It sounds like everyone is embracing good food and have gotten very creative. Here are a couple more that sound delish.<br />
<br />
First is Brian's Fast and Slow Guacamole options: (and yes, I am quoting Brian verbatim because his commentary makes the recipes!)<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Fast Guacamole</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">I created this because chopping tomatoes, chiles, and onion is lame when you want the guacamole NOW.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">One big avocado – I get these from Dierberg’s because they have the best ones. Big and always ripe. That’s what she said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">As
much or as little pre-made pico de gallo from Trader Joe’s. The pico
is freshly made and is in their veggie/fruit/meat/cheese section. There
are various degrees of spice so you decide which is best for you!
Other stores like Schnucks and Dierberg’s have their own version of
this, but I prefer Trader Joe’s because I feel like I’m saving the rain
forest or something when I shop there. Or maybe because I just think it
tastes better. But probably because the containers are easiest to
open. If you ever have dealt with those flimsy plastic containers they
put their premade stuff in at Schnucks or Dierberg’s then you know what
I’m talking about.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Mash
the avocado and add the salsa and stir. Done. Good for breakfast,
lunch, snack time, or dinner. Or as topping…on bacon, perhaps. This
recipe is so fast that it takes less time to make it than it does to
read this recipe.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Slow Guacamole</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">1 10-12 ounce cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced (not a diny dice, maybe ¼-1/2 inch)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">½ cup finely diced red onion</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">2 fresh serrano or jalapeno chiles. Minced, including seeds (if you want) or more to taste</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">¾ tsp. fine salt or 1 ½ tsp. coarse salt</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">2 large or 3 small ripe avocados, halved and pitted. As if you were going to leave the pit in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">½ pineapple, peeled, cored, and diced (1/4 to ½ inch dice)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Fresh cilantro is optional</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Stir
together the cucumber, onion, chiles, lime juice, and salt in a large
bowl. Score the avocados in a cross-hatch pattern while they’re still
in the skin, and scoop them out, right into the bowl. You an also scoop
it out onto a cutting board then cut it into chunks. Whichever way you
choose. The trick is not to mash them. Stir.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> Next, add the pineapple so the fresh acidity is a distinct counterpart to the avocado. Whatever that means!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> Finally, season to taste with additional chile, lime juice, and salt. Sprinkle cilantro on top.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> Sweet, delicious goodness. Almost make me forget about ice cream. Emphasize “almost”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Now, to my weekly Local Harvest box. This is my second week picking up a box of localish goodies from Local Harvest Grocery and Cafe, and I am excited about what is in store. Last week I had so much fun experimenting with new vegis, turnips, shallots, collard greens - will this week be as interesting? Well, today's box has the following:<br />
<ul>
<li>grass fed ground beef</li>
<li>pasture raised eggs</li>
<li>chives</li>
<li>braising kale</li>
<li>delicata squash</li>
<li>lettuce</li>
<li>almonds</li>
<li>Paleo ready made meal (pork tenderloin mashed sweet potatoes and squash)</li>
<li>grapefruit, tangerines</li>
<li>Trout</li>
</ul>
Dinner tonight was already planned but I was able to use the lettuce for my beet, apple, and dried cherry salad. Here is what was on the menu at our house tonight<br />
<br />
Salmon, fried eggplant, roasted turnips and shallots, and beet, apple, and dried cherry salad.<br />
For the salmon I simply bought a good piece of fresh salmon at Dierbergs and brushed with olive oil then sprinkled with lemon pepper. Bake at 450 for 15 min.<br />

Brian sent me in a recipe for <b>Paleo Mayo</b>, and I can't resist posting his email verbatim. Thanks for the recipe Brian!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Not sure if this
falls into that crappy “sex with your pants on” category, but I don’t
think it does. Basically what we have here is mayo without the high
fructose corn syrup and other preservatives. It’s really good…just
remember that when you pour in the olive oil, do it SLOWLY. So slowly
that you think “damn, this is pretty slow.”</span></b></i></div>

Several of my recipes I have been trying lately have sausage, and I am not feeling good about the quality of sausage out in my supermarket. One alternative I have tried is some bison sausage that I picked up at Local Harvest. It comes in sausage casings, but I removed the casing and cooked it up to go into my heavenly hash and it is soooo good. The flavor is fantastic and no sugar or funky ingredients. Sara B forwarded me this email on homemade sausage, so I thought I might give this one a try as well.<br />

Speaking of sausage, I spent the afternoon with two of my partners in crime and we had a food prep afternoon. Lisa picked 4 recipes, sent us the shopping list and supplied all the spices and we prepped some great dinners to keep us eating Whole 30 the rest of the week! The Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms are addictive and a great app to bring anywhere.<br />

He has informed me that one of his goals is 100 unbroken pushups - I am planning on videoing that and putting it on the blog if he does it!<br />

I had never had turnips before, so I had no idea what to expect. Very easy to prepare, just like peeling a potato. Here is the recipe<br />
<br />
<u><b>Roasted Turnips and Shallots with Rosemary</b></u><br />
Ingredients:<br />
2 turnips, peeled and cubed<br />
1 shallot end sliced off and sliced<br />
1 tbspn clarified butter<br />
fresh rosemary<br />
salt and pepper<br />
<br />
Mix together and lay out in one layer on baking sheet. Roast at 375 for 20-25 min.<br />
<br />
Some other great recipes - Gnat sent me a beautiful looking burrito that she and Herb made the other night with their collard greens. They experimented a little and Gnat had salmon and Herb feasted on pork. Here is a the recipe and a picture:<br />

Tomorrow I am off to Lisa M's house to have a food prep party. We have stuffed mushrooms, Creamy Tarragon Chicken, and Mustard Tarragon Unpotato and tomato salad that all sound interesting. I will post pics of our creations soon.

Picked up my first box of localish food from <a href="http://localharvestgrocery.com/kirkwood/" target="_blank">Local Harvest</a> and am hit with some vegi's that I have never cooked before. So, I gladly accept the challenge! Here is a picture and a full list of what was in this week's paleo box in case you are interested. <br />
Contents:<br />
pumpkin (yes, a whole pumpkin)<br />
turnips<br />
shitake mushrooms<br />
shallots<br />
ground pork<br />
duck eggs<br />
avacado<br />
pecans<br />
cider<br />
carrots<br />
onion<br />
collard greens<br />
rosemary<br />
<br />
For dinner I decided to use the collard greens, shitake mushrooms, onion, and rosemary. My dinner for one since the rest of my family is having a cheesy lasagna and garlic bread (no, of course Im not bitter!!) was a Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast and Sauteed Collard Greens. The chicken was outstanding and the collard greens were a nice switch from sauteed spinach. If anyone else gets the basket this week I would love to hear what you do with everything!<br />

Nicki posted a mouthwatering pic of a recipe for <a href="http://www.amazingpaleo.com/2012/08/31/paleo-sweet-potato-hash-with-sunny-side-up-egg/" target="_blank">Sunny Side Up Egg and Sweet Potato Hash</a> that she got from amazingpaleo.com. This recipe is followed by a great <a href="http://www.amazingpaleo.com/2012/08/31/paleo-sweet-potato-hash-with-sunny-side-up-egg/" target="_blank">article</a> on storing extras and food
prep for the week. Take the time on one of your least busy days (Sunday
perhaps?) and cook up your meat for the week, prep vegis, and fill your
fridge with ziploc bags and containers of easy to grab foods that will
last you through the craziness of your week.<br />
<br />
So, I started to make it this morning, but the thought of shredding the potato with my grater (because I have yet to buy a food processor) made me start thinking of creative alternatives. I ended up creating my own little heavenly hash and its super easy - see recipe below, it was OUTSTANDING! I'm going to hide this one so my familly doesn't find it!<br />
