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

    Hola, Kat! Hi, everyone! *waves*
    My blog is "See Glam Diet" where I ramble about my weight loss shenanigans. My blog is just like me: a hodgepodge of fashion, weight loss and humor~ I'm not always successful at losing weight, but I never stop trying!

    Hi! My name's Em (or Emily, I answer to either one.) and my blog is about the craziness that is my life. Mainly the craziness in trying to lose the excess weight and get in shape as well as decluttering my house (not that I've done a lot of talking about that recently). My blog is:

    Hello ... My name is Sean and my blog is learnfitness.com ... I started at 450 pounds and am approaching a milestone of 300 with a goal of around 250 (I think not sure yet). Anyhow, I blog about the things that have worked for me, pressures in life, balancing fitness etc. It's pretty much a brain dump of information, emotions, and ideas.

    Hey! I'm Nicole and my blog is nicoleelkington.blogspot.com (Laugh Outloud), I'm also on twitter: twitter.com/nicoleelkington.

    A little about me.. I am going to school to be a social worker, I attempt to speak french, as that's my minor; and I'm obsessed with politics. About a year ago, because of my 11 year old brother, I got into Wii Fit, and then Wii Active.. and that morphed into Yoga and other things. I now love working out (even if I am in a little rut), and have lost about 40 pounds since last April. So.. I'm just trying to get more motivation and ideas, because I'm kind of in a rut! So check my blog out :)

    I really love this idea of an open mic post. When I was struggling to find support I would posted my story on fellow weight loss bloggers comment section in hopes that someone, anyone would say HI. :) I might need to do something similar, if you don't mind!!?? I've noticed so many new bloggers out there recently- this would help them! :)

    Hi...I'm Tori of "A Journey to a New Me"...the link is at the top of Kats page. My blog isn't much but I'm getting there. I started my blog as a journal; not just about weight loss but about taking me back and being ok with having me back. It probably doesn't make much sense but in laymen's terms: for the last 35 years I've put everyone else's needs/desires/choices before my own. I've let this shape many of the things I do (or don't do) in my life. And I just can't do it any more. I shouldn't have to. I remember I time when I was fearless, threw abandonment to the wind, and laughed/smiled/cheered while doing so. was that so wrong? I want that back but don't know how. Yet. I'm not a very outwardly social person these days and I needed a way to communicate what's going on in my brain without feeling like I was burdening someone else.

    Hi Kat,

    Happy Friday! When those squirrels are packing lasers that melt fat, I'm in.

    OK, I'm Genie over at Diet of 51. I spend more time reading/admiring other people's stuff than writing/decorating my own. That's my excuse for having a somewhat Plain Jane blog, no offense to Jane.

    Although a rookie in the W/L blogosphere, I've been at this weight loss game for a long time. It really helps to have inspirational and understanding teammates. So, let's go! Let's play to win!

    Thanks, Kat. You're an excellent teammate!

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.

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.

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.

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
