Paleo Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burgers

Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments.  In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun!  paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky

My Paleo Pregnancy - Week 6

First, let me back up a bit. This is my fourth pregnancy. I have three boys: 18, 9, and 7. All of those pregnancies were pretty rough. Morning sickness was terrible for me. It pretty much lasted all day for the first 3 or 4 months. I was either throwing up or feeling like I wanted to. It was rough and I dealt with it with a steady diet of saltines and Sprite. Once the nausea finally passed I then ate whatever I wanted, heck, I was pregnant! Rueben sandwich, fries, AND an Oreo shake? Yes please. Lots of junk was consumed. Which of course resulted in my gaining 60 to 80 pounds for each of those pregnancies. It wasn't until after my third son that I got serious about getting healthy and changing my choices. I want very badly for this pregnancy to be different. It's uncharted territory for me, but I'm committed to making healthy choices. Week 6 I had forgotten how early the pregnancy cravings start. This time around I'm trying very hard to listen to my body and give i

Paleo Pregnancy

I took a little flak for announcing to the world (and my husband) that I was pregnant via instagram.  Oh, and twitter, and facebook... Pregnancy changes things. It just does. Our bodies change. Our wardrobe changes. Everything from our priorities to our tastes can change during pregnancy. And, well, when you're a fitness blogger, your blog can't help but change as well! I didn't want it to be all preggers all the time around here, so I've decided to corral those posts to one day a week.  Every Wednesday from now until baby time will be dedicated to posts on having a happy, healthy, fit, and paleo pregnancy. I've added a menu tab ' Paleo Pregnancy ' to make it easy to find these posts in the future. I'll be doing paleo pregnancy vlogs, posts on pregnancy and baby related products, and having some awesome guest posts on staying healthy and fit throughout pregnancy. A little pinterest humor. My you tube channel will also be changing. Sin

The Power of Community #WhatsBeautiful

Depending on how long you've been reading my blog you may or may not know that I was originally a weight loss blogger. (Comment below if you remember fitviews!)  If you click on my "My Story" page you'll read about my process of going from a size 22 to a size 8. You'll read about running, lifting weights, paleo... But what you won't see listed is one of the most important weight loss tools I used on my journey: community . I truly believe that the amazing community I found among my fellow bloggers is the single most important factor of my lasting weight loss success. When I first began blogging I had no idea that I'd find such an amazing, supportive, encouraging, wise, and caring community online.  From them I learned. With them I shared. Through them I found myself.  I fought obesity and won. A large part of that I owe to community. My online community provided a safe space for me to hash out all of my junk and become the me I wa

Paleo Pumpkin Bread Recipe

I love to bake. I don't do much baking during the hot summer months, but there's just something about fall that screams out to me to bake up a storm. Previous to going paleo pumpkin bread was one of my favorite things to bake in the fall. There's just nothing like a kitchen filled with the smell of pumpkin bread baking in the oven. I missed this and so I set out two weeks ago to figure out a paleo pumpkin bread recipe. Several failed attempts and 10 or so test loaves later I've come up with one my family loves! Paleo Pumpkin Bread 1 cup blanched almond meal 1/4 cup coconut flour 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 4 eggs 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 cup pumpkin puree 1 tablespoon melted ghee (or coconut oil) 1 teaspoon vanilla Combine dry ingredients. Beat eggs and add in. Add remaining wet ingredients. Grease a 9 inch loaf pan with coconut oil (or yo
