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...

Review: Six Pack Fitness Renee Tote Meal Management Bag


 This year has shaped up to be the year of travel for me. From blog-related travel, to family-related travel, and even an out-of-state move I have been on the road a lot.

 I'm completely committed to ditching this baby weight and so I was a bit concerned with how I'd stay on track with all of that travel. I don't know about you, but I really struggle with my food when travelling. I struggle with finding quality Paleo-friendly food. I struggle with portions and I struggle with the expense of good food on the road.

 The nice folks at Six Pack Fitness sent me one of their Renee Totes in red to try out and I do believe my problems are solved!

The Renee Tote Review

I immediately fell in love with the look of this bag. It's super cute. I love that it's incognito and just looks like a really cute bag.


The Renee Tote is the perfect size for my needs. There is plenty of room for an entire day's worth of meals and snacks. I think I could even stretch it into 2 days, but I haven't tested how long the ice packs last.


 It comes with four food containers, a supplement container, and three ice packs.


There are oodles of pockets to stash anything I need.


I take quite a few supplements, but I find the container to have ample room.
(You can read about my supplement routine here.)


The top compartment has a padded spot for my chromebook as well as tons of room for anything else I need. I pack a Blender Bottle, lip balm, my wallet, my keys, my planner, and my phone and still have room to spare.

Other Uses

 This bag works amazingly well for more than just me. I find myself using it for tons of mom-related things. It's perfect for our homeschool field trips. I pack wipes, a few diapers, and some toys for Baby O. in the top compartment. Along with my wallet, keys, etc. Then, I pack our lunch in the food containers and snacks and miscellaneous other necessities in the pockets. I used to have to take a purse, diaper bag, and a backpack. Now I just take this ONE bag! Plus, I feel like I look like put-together mom instead of pack-mule mom! It's a beautiful thing. I also find this bag perfect for family road trips. I pack it up with all our food and snacks for the road.

 I'm also using the supplement container and food containers on a daily basis, not just when I travel. I am forever forgetting to take my supplements and I find filling the container up at night with all of the next days' supplements to be the perfect solution. The food containers are perfect for my weekly food prep. I usually use them for my lunches. They are the perfect size for my usual lunches: a salad or some chicken, sweet potato, and a green veggie.

 Final Thoughts

 I'm sure you can tell I love this bag. It's very comfortable to carry. Plus, everything from quality, to functionality, to style is on point. I absolutely recommend it. In fact, I'm so in love with Six Pack Bags I'm already drooling over another one of their bags and looking at one for hubby. I love that they have come up with such a great solution to a common problem. Also, they have an amazing selection (for men and women) and I love their color options (The Renee in Black with black hardware and navy with silver hardware are amazing!).
How do you stay on track when you travel??

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...

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...

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 promise...
