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

FitViews 30-Day Paleo Challenge Journal Prompt #4

Almost there! I'm so excited for all of us that made it to the end of this challenge. Well. Done. For our last journal prompt I'd like to revisit the first one. Take stock and answer these questions again. Then go back to your first responses and see what changes you've experienced. " How have you been feeling lately? Emotionally, physically, and mentally. Take a few moments and just take inventory in all three areas. We often don't realize just how much certain foods and our eating habits in general affect us. Take note of everything you can think of. Revisit this journal entry if you think of other things to add. How are your energy levels? How is your sleep? How is your hairand skin? Your joints? How are your workouts going? How's your sex drive and your stress levels? How about your relationship with food? Are you comfort eating, binge eating, compulsive eating, self-medicating with food, not eating enough, eating past full... Do you have any aches,

FitViews 30-Day Paleo Challenge Journal Prompt #3

We're halfway through! I hope you're all feeling as fabulous as I am. For today's journal entry I want to ask: Are you taking care of you? It's so easy to get caught up in our jobs, in taking care of others in life, or in just plain being busy and let ourselves fall to the bottom of our to-do lists. Are you taking care of you? Are you making the time to take care of you? Do you give yourself some quiet time to pray, meditate, or just be still? Are you giving yourself time to be active, to move your body, to workout? Is your sleep a priority? Do you give yourself the time to plan, shop, prep, and prepare good nourishing food that will fuel your body and make you feel great?  Are you putting your job or other people first and letting your needs slip? Are you resenting others because you aren't taking the time to take care of you? Are you taking care of you? If not, what things can you start doing today to change this. It is not selfish to take care

FitViews 30-Day Paleo Challenge Journal Prompt #2

Woohoo! We made it through week one! I'm so proud of everyone. As I mentioned before, I encourage you to take a little quiet time for yourself. Get up a little earlier or stay up a little later if need be. However you can fit it in, grab a warm cuppa and take a few minutes to write out your responses. For today's journal I want everyone to take a hard look at their eating habits. Just like any other habit sometimes they're good and sometimes they need a little work! What are your eating habits ? Do you eat at a certain time every day? Do you eat meals or graze through the day? Are you eating when you're hungry? Are you eating past full to uncomfortable? Are you focusing on nourishing your body or strictly focusing on what tastes good? Are you only focused on nourishing your body (or some other goal) and not caring about food's taste? Are you afraid of hunger? Are you ignoring your hunger? Do you remember what real hunger feels like? Do you finish your plat

Paleo Spaghetti and Meat Sauce

Have you ever blown up a spaghetti squash in the microwave? I have. Multiple times. I don't recommend it. It's quite the mess to clean up. And the noise? Will likely make you jump. I kept seeing people say to just cook the whole spaghetti squash in the microwave. Don't bother cutting it , they said, it's so quick and easy , they raved.  Ya, no. I blow it up. So. You've been warned. If you do dare to put the thing whole in your microwave, at least make sure you have the camera set up... Oh, and maybe poke a "vent" hole in it very carefully with a knife. Paleo (Whole30) Spaghetti with Meat Sauce: Ingredients 1 spaghetti squash 2 lbs lean grass-fed ground beef 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 1 (14.5 oz) can organic fire-roasted diced tomatoes 1 (6 oz) can organic tomato paste 1/2 cup water 1 1/2 teaspoons Himalayan pink salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoons organic basil 2 teaspoons organic oregano 1 teaspoon on
