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

Body After Baby 9 Weeks Postpartum - #30dayPUSH

After two weeks 'off' I feel so much better. I feel refreshed and ready to attack this postpartum weight loss thing again.  I spent the past two weeks reflecting and getting my mindset right. One thing hit me pretty hard the other day: I have a daughter. Obviously I want to set a good example for my boys as well, but I was looking at my sweet baby girl and I thought: I need to be the best me for you. I need to set a good example of a woman that loves and takes care of herself. WHOA. Big deal. OK, back to square one. What I've realized is that I've let my habits slip. From the habit of working out to the habit of meal planning. From making a to-do list to cleaning the kitchen (and with our homeschool year starting September 3rd that's no bueno). Not only were bad habits sneaking in , but good habits were slipping out. It began towards the end of my pregnancy and got progressively worse. I've also realized that I've set NO goals this year. N

Paleo Breakfast Options - It's Really Not All About The Bacon

Paleo Cinnamon Vanilla Coffee Creamer I have a confession. I don't eat bacon. I know, all Paleo folks are bacon obsessed right? Nope, not me. My dad is allergic to pork and I grew up not eating it. I do enjoy the occasional nitrate-free turkey bacon, but real bacon kind of grosses me out. I know, GASP. So what do we eat for breakfast around here? Tons of different things! Omelets . Endless variety here. Mix and match veggies, spices, and meats. Scrambles . Scramble some eggs and throw in whatever sounds good! Warrior Mix cereal . Add some almond milk or coconut milk if you're just missing that cereal feeling!  Leftovers ! Don't be trapped in a 'what breakfast should be' box. I eat a lot of dinner leftovers for breakfast. Random cravings. Sometimes it's whatever sounds good. The other day I threw some frozen diced butternut squash in a pan, added a bit of ghee (grassfed butter is good too), and cinnamon. Yum. Salads for breakfast? Love them.

Body After Baby 7 Weeks Postpartum - Lurking Bad Habits

This is the second version of today's post. The first version I just deleted. It was full of this is what I did wrong last week , this is why my stats are exactly the same as they've been , and this is what I'm going to do different this week . All fine and good, BUT ... I noticed myself in the bathroom this morning looking in the mirror and despising what I saw . Not OK. The last week I've noticed I've been obsessing  about my calories, the scale, and my lack of progress. Not OK. It's true that I don't feel like myself right now, at this weight. It's true that I'm a little frustrated that I've leveled off; I expected to be steadily (even if slowly) losing weight already. But regressing into old bad habits?  Not OK. image via Pinterest It's interesting how quickly these things I'd thought I'd completely conquered have raised their ugly heads. It seems that I've allowed being overweight again to transport me bac

Body After Baby 6 Weeks Postpartum - The 21 Day Sugar Detox Begins!

Day 1! Here we go... I cannot believe it's been 6 weeks. The time has zipped by.  Looking back I'm happy at how I handled the first 6 weeks postpartum . I rested, I healed, I was lightly active as I was able. I listened to my body.  I was gentle with my sleep deprived self. Other than the initial post-birth weight loss the first 2 weeks I didn't lose any weight. I'm totally good with that. Stats this week: Weight: 196 Bust: 44 1/2 Waist: 37 Hips: 44 Clothing Size: 13/14 I am super excited to be at the 6 week mark. Last night I had hubby drag this out for me: #WorkoutDVDHoarder We were painting and moving things around during my last trimester so I had packed up most of my fitness DVDs. I couldn't do most of them anyway. So. Danged. Excited. To rip into them again. BUT, I need to take it slow. I know my fitness is not what it was pre-pregnancy. This week will be spent trying out workouts, modifying where needed, and finding out

Crustless Paleo Breakfast Quiche Recipe

Since hubby and I are doing the 21 Day Sugar Detox for the next 3 weeks I took some time today to do some food prep. It's just too easy to stare into the refrigerator and say, "There's nothing to eat!" when eating only real, whole foods. Food prep is my secret weapon for being successful with Paleo eating in general and definitely for things like the Detox (or Whole30). Hubby is the worst at running out of the house without breakfast, so one of the things I made was this Crustless Paleo Breakfast Quiche. It's a super easy make-ahead breakfast recipe.  Crustless Paleo Breakfast Quiche Ingredients 18 eggs 1 yellow onion - diced 1 red pepper - diced 8 oz mushrooms - diced 1 Tablespoon coconut oil 1 tsp sea salt 1 tsp chili powder Directions  Melt 1 Tablespoon coconut oil in a skillet heated to medium. Saute the onions until they begin to brown.  Add the diced mushrooms and cook 3 to 4 minutes until soft. Set aside to cool. B
