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

Fabulous Friends Friday--Open Mic

Because of my crazy week and my Dad getting hurt I didn't get ahold of the people I wanted to have for today's Fabulous Friends Friday, and next Friday I am planning to have a guest post for Fab Friend Friday...SO I am declaring a Fabulous Friends Friday Open Mic!


Everyone that blogs, in the comments, leave us a few sentences about you and your blog. Plus a link of course, so we can come see you. Come on, don't be shy.


If you are reading this blog, be sure to read the comments, that's what it's all about!


OK, say HI....

  1. Hi, I'm Steve...and I'm an alcoholic.

    Oh 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.

    Hi 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! :)

  5. 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.

    Hi everyone! I'm Laura. I write 100in12 - http://100in12.blogspot.com

    I think I don't have to do too much explaining - it's just me trying to lose 100 pounds in 12 months in the sassiest, whiniest, sometimes-dumbest way possible.

    Come say hi! I like new friends.

  16. Hello!

    I'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!

    I promise. I'm kinda fun and sane at moments! Thanks Kat. And Vonda, I had no idea that you were partaking in the bet. Now I'm torn ...

    My 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!

    And, Kat, you're brilliant, wonderful way to discover so many other great people on the same journey! {hugs}

  30. Hi, I'm Genie. New to the W/L blogosphere and experiencing the lift it's bringing to my efforts. Awesome!

    Don'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.

  31. 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!
    I, 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!

Hype or Help: Jillian Michaels Body Revolution Final Program Review

Disclaimer: I received  Jillian Michaels Body Revolution for review purposes. As always opinions are 100% honest and my own. After three long months of testing this program I'm finally down to the review! I've had so many questions, and I hope to answer them all here. So, is it hype or help ? Have a seat, let's talk about that... What you will need for these workouts: A set of light, medium, and heavy hand weights to suit your ability level. What's Included with Jillian Michaels Body Revolution : 15 Workout DVDs Resistance Cable Fitness Guide Book Fat Burning Meal Plan 7 Day Kick-Start Your Metabolism Plan 90 Day Journal Bookmark What's in the box? My unboxing video if you want to see it all: The Body Revolution Diet Plan I've had a lot of questions on what exactly the diet plan for Body Revolution is. Let me break it down... The diet for this program is roughly 1200 calories a day and all of the recipes come from J

30 Easy Prep and Pack Whole30 Lunch Recipes

The Whole30 Program is amazing. I highly recommend it. Every time I've done a Whole 30 I have felt AMAZING by the end. It's a very empowering experience. It is not however an easy one. Mostly because the food prep can take much more time if you're used to grab and go options. A little planning ahead and you can definitely make it through the 30 days. When it comes to Whole30 lunches, 3 things worked best for me: Quick and easy salads. Prepping food on Sunday. Cooking too much at dinner and eating leftovers for lunch the next day. I thought I'd share 30 of the awesome Whole30 lunch recipes I've found from my favorite bloggers (and a few from me!). I've included all three options I listed above. Some quick and easy salads, some to prep an entire recipe on the weekend and then portion them for lunches that week, and some to be cooked for dinner and the leftovers packed for lunch the next day. Play around and see what works best for you. This list

Paleo Energy Bar Recipe

I'm always playing around with easy snack recipes for my paleo kiddos. This Paleo Energy Bar Recipe in many incarnations is our go-to! It takes no time at all to whip a batch up and the kids love them. They're not only paleo, but also vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, and dairy-free. Plus, I mean... there's chocolate. ;) Just 4 ingredients! Paleo Energy Bars Ingredients 1 cup Whole Natural Almonds 12 to 14 Organic Medjool Dates , de-pitted 1/2 of a Alter Eco Chocolate Dark Blackout 85% 1/4 cup Raw Pumpkin Seeds Directions Pulse the almonds in food processor until you get small bits, but not paste. Empty into mixing bowl. Do the same with the dark chocolate. Process the dates in the food processor until smooth. They will tend to come together in a ball. Add to nut/chocolate mixture. Add the pumpkin seeds whole. Line a 9 x 9 pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Mix the ingredients in the bowl. I usually just smoosh all of the

KETO Cocktails: The Lemon Drop

I love a good glass of red wine now and then, I mean it's practically a health food, right? ;) But sometimes I just want a cocktail. I'm all for moderation and having a drink now and then, but I'm just not down with the calorie, carb, and sugar counts of some of my favorites. Seriously, have you ever looked them up? Eek. So, I've set to work at converting my favorite cocktail recipes to be more keto diet friendly! The first cocktail recipe I'm tackling is the keto lemon drop . I used to love these, but haven't had one in years because of the sugar in them. In my early twenties I had a friend who used to make them for me all the time. We would have a shaker full of these, a good dinner, and a chick flick on a weeknight , it was kind of bliss. Her recipe called for so. much. SUGAR though! Looking back I think she may have used a wee bit more sugar than most, but they were really good. I think my keto-ized recipe comes pretty dang close to those delicious

KETO Hot Cocoa Pancakes

OK, I know I've been on quite the low carb pancake tangent lately, but THESE! Seriously, these are yummtastic. Yummazing? Ya, they're really good. They just might be my favorite recipe I've ever done. Ever. OK, that might be my paleo apple crisp recipe , but that's not low carb...ooo, I wonder if I could tweak that low carb... That would be brilliant! You know, bloggers area always talking seo this and seo that (seo stands for search engine optimization if you're not a blogger) and I'm just over here yammering. I'm pretty sure when google's spider crawlers (anyone shiver at that word picture? eesh) get to FitViews they just think, "Yeesh, move along. Nothing to see here." Ha ha ha! Anyway, pancakes. KETO  Hot Cocoa Low Carb Pancakes no less. So good.  As I've mentioned before I'm back to  low carb  (keto actually)  and developing new recipes to make it easier to stick with.  I find I just plain feel great when I eat keto

Jillian Michaels BodyShred Full Review

I was sent the Jillian Michaels BODYSHRED program and supplements for review purposes.In this BodyShred review, as always, opinions expressed are 100% honest and my own.

Paleo Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer Recipe

It's just not the holidays for me without a Starbucks peppermint mocha (or white chocolate peppermint mocha, mmm). I generally splurge once or twice during the holiday season with the real thing. Since going keto paleo, however, I'm not sure if I will. Sometimes the sugar just isn't worth it! Problem is I like them, miss them, and would really enjoy them all season long! So..... I decided I wanted to tackle the peppermint mocha and come up with Paleo-friendly version . With this simple recipe, I can have a peppermint mocha anytime. Not only is this recipe Paleo, but it's also Whole30, gluten-free, vegan, primal, and 100% junk-free. Paleo Peppermint Mocha Recipe Ingredients: 1 can Organic Canned Coconut Milk (Regular, NOT light. Seriously, ew.) 1/3 cup Organic Cocoa Powder 2 to 3 Tablespoons Organic Grade B Maple Syrup  (Optional, leave out for keto or Whole30.) 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Organic Peppermint Extract (Depending how pepperminty you like

I decided to separate my final results and final review of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution into two posts. Otherwise it would equal one really really long post. My final review should be up tomorrow. Today, my final results!

Review: Jillian Michaels Killer Buns & Thighs

With her latest offering in the fitness DVD realm-  Jillian Michaels: Killer Buns and Thighs - Jillian Michaels delivers again in typical Jillian style . To some, that will be the problem.  I hear this less since she left the Biggest Loser, but I still hear it.   It seems most people either love her attitude or can't stand it, with few in between.  But if you are a Jillian fan like me (or a can tolerate Jillian for a great workout type) this is an intense sweat-fest of a DVD that I highly recommend.  From the packaging: Do the saddlebags on your legs make you insane? Do you loathe wearing shorts because of saggy knees or flabby thighs? Have you avoided skinny jeans like the plague? Or do you just want to go from good shape to great shape and rock a bikini with the best of them? Well no matter what point you are starting from, if you want to get your lower body in sick, crazy, amazing shape, Jillian Michaels: Killer Buns & Thighs promises to deliver with three f
