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

ReplyDeleteOh crap, wrong blog! :-P
Anywho, I've already been featured on Fabulous Friends Friday (because Kat is awesome), but I run a spiffy little hackjob of a blog at http://www.265andfalling.com. Just trying to lose weight, get in shape, get some confidence, and trying to be as awesome as I can be.
Have a great day, and great weekend.
test...test...is the mic on? hehe :)
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone! I'm Tj! :) I am a Weight Watcher's member, and I LOVE to cook! My weigh loss journey has been slow due to limited ability to exercise (bad back) but I keep going! My recent struggle has been to see myself as a "normal" sized woman after my whole life being plus sized. Stop by my blog, share your blog with me- let's cheer each other on! :)

ReplyDeleteOK, everyone, HI STEVE! HI TJ! HI BEST SISTER IN THE WORLD WHO'S GONNA BUY KAT RUNNING SOCKS AND STARBUCKS...OOPS I MEAN, HI VONDA!
This is the only kind of Open Mic I can do because my singing most closely resembles a cat going through a wood chipper while being declawed and confronted with water.

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI'm the survivor of a trainwreck. Figuratively. So much so that it feels literal. In the process of crashing, I gained 52 pounds. So, I have a goal to lose 52# in 52 weeks. Plus all the baggage. I'm sort of attached to the baggage part. Come read!

ReplyDeleteHi everyone {in that oh-so-Patty-Griffin voice}, I'm Cheryl and I'm losing my behind over at, uh, LosingMyBehind ~ and by that I mean a literal losing of both my back end and the history that led me to where I am.
ReplyDeleteMy blog is a hodge-podge of confession, victory, defeat, epiphany, helpful info and just plain ole' comfortable camaraderie, all around the topics of losing weight without losing our mind, er, I mean health. And, we all admit from time to time that we need therapy. ;)
I'm not new to blogging, but my weight loss blog is brand spankin' new since Jan 1 2010. Just puttin' it all out there in the hopes of helping other people, gathering support, finding new friends, and having fun...MUST have fun! Please come visit!

Hi Bee! She's a rock star at my fav Jillian workouts! Check out her blog.
ReplyDeleteGreeting! Open mic...what an awesome idea! Mic check, mic check 1...2...1...2. So, introductions are in order. I refer to myself as MochaTrina. My blog "Me So Hongry! The Misdventures of a Weight Watchers Repeat Offender!" chronicles my weight loss trials and tribulations as I aim to get it right this time, and bring my sexy back. And like the moniker suggests...ME SO HONGRY ALL of the time!!
ReplyDeleteStop on by and celebrate my blog's first birthday with me. www.mesohongry.blogspot.com
How fun!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Karen and I blog about my struggles, experiences, and other random thoughts as a yo-yo dieter. I just started blogging in December and love, love, love the sense of community and support I have found.
www.waistingtimeblog.com
Hi, I'm Genie. New to the W/L blogosphere and experiencing the lift it's bringing to my efforts. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid of me because I'm on the older side. My short term memory is a little spotty, but my long term memory vividly recalls what it was like to struggle with my weight in my younger years. I became thin for the first time at the age of 29 on the Weight Watchers program, after which I was a WW leader for four years.
Then, I had a baby and now he's 16. The time really went by just that fast. I managed to keep most of my weight off until the last couple of years. The change of life has been a lot harder than I thought it would be, and it has given me back too much of my original poundage. NO THANKS!
Not ready to give up! My current, self-designed program is based on what I learned from WW. I'm "shaking it up" by seeking and giving support on this newfangled invention called "the Internet". I'm going to spruce up my blog, Diet of 51, as soon as I can figure out how!
Thanks, Kat, for your kindness and for this opportunity to speak.
Hi Everyone! I am Jackie and my blog is enlightenedbodies.blogspot.com I started it so I could write about my struggles with body image, self-esteem related to my body, and my struggles with my weight. But mostly I wanted to write about the spiritual aspects of all of the above: learning to love myself, not judge myself, or others, for being less than perfect, and finding all the many ways there are to find serenity and peace within myself and in the world around me. Blogging has been very healing, and the more of you I "meet", the more healed I become, so stop by! I'd love to meet you!
ReplyDeleteI, too, have just started WW and I also am learning to cook to make my diet more exciting, and it's working! I'm loving it!
Hi MochaTrina, Karen, Genie, and Jackie! Glad to have you!
ReplyDeleteOpen mic...yikes! Too shy. LOL!
ReplyDeleteKat, hope you're dad is better soon:(
