I’m still trying to figure out my stomach issues as I keep trying to introduce certain food groups back and a lot of them are not agreeing with me. It was a tough week with workouts as well and I noticed I wasn’t recovering very well since again brings me back to my nutrition. I know I’m constantly tweaking and trying to figure out what works best. I’m going to start journaling my workouts and meals to really see what bothers me and what doesn’t and how it all effects my body daily. I’m excited to really maximize my workouts and nutrition to see how I can reach my goals over the next 6 to 7 weeks. I’m excited about this weeks menu and all the new recipes we are going to try, I decided to use my cookbooks as something different. I will post pictures of my dishes in my Facebook group to share. Hope everyone has a happy and safe week! Remember stay home, stay safe and stay healthy.

I know it’s been a while since I posted my weekly food menu, I have been switching my diet up a bit as I have been having stomach issues again and it hasn’t seem to help or clear up so I’m going back to what I know will be okay on my stomach and that is back to Paleo.  I want to test it out for a week and see how I feel.  I have also been working out 5 to 6 days a week with weights and cardio so I want to really clean up my diet and put in the effort of eating right while getting in my tough workouts. This is a great clean eating menu from one of my favorite websites and blogs called Real Simple Good, they have so many delicious and easy recipes that I created this weeks meal plan from them. I have included all the links above for each recipe in case anyone wants to try them, I’m telling you they are so worth it! Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. Keep smiling and cooking!

Summer is officially here as it’s going to be another hot week, so this week I tried finding more colder meals as my breakfast and minimal cooking meals for dinner.  I know I usually have the same snacks of raw nuts and fruit as my snacks but wanted to add some healthy smoothies that add extra vitamins and antioxidants along with some protein after my tough weight training workouts. I’m still having stomach issues so I’m going to see how I do scaling back on the Intermittent fasting this week and see if that helps.  Always tweaking my nutrition plan to try and get myself back to normal again. I’m excited to try some new recipes and to have some old tasty recipes. If there is something you like check out the link for the recipe and enjoy! Hope everyone has a happy and healthy week ahead and make sure you have fun cooking!!!

I had an awesome week last week with my meals and enjoyed them all. I even lost a few pounds which is always a positive thing. I did workout everyday except Friday which is my normal day off so everything clicked for sure. I’m excited about this week as I’m making more salads and even making them vegetarian for my daughter so she can enjoy what we are eating too. I have included all the links to the dinner recipes under each recipe for easy finding. I have used my two favorite websites Paleo Running Momma and Real Simple Good, you can tweak the recipes to include what meats and veggies you like or don’t like and even make them vegetarian or vegan. I’m wanting to cut out some meat during the week so this is a start we will see how the recipes go. Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! Have a wonderful cooking week too!!!

Well I made it through last weeks 5 day sugar detox challenge, it was not easy but I did feel better by the end of week.  I decided to do a mini Whole30 round to help as that program has not sugar so as long as I stuck with my meal plan I was okay and that's exactly what I did. It was nice to share my knowledge of the program and recipes as I love all the rounds I did. Now that my mini round is over I'm excited to move forward and keep eating Paleo for this week.  I have picked out a lot of awesome recipes this week that I can't wait to cook and try with the family.  I posted the recipe pictures right off the site to show you a variety of all the different colors and yummy foods.  I decided to use one of my favorite websites Real Simple Good, you should check them out as they are awesome.  So many amazing recipes that are Whole30, Paleo and Keto.  Here is the link to their official website: https://realsimplegood.com/ I have changed thing up this week and instead of including the links at the bottom of my post I decided to include them under each recipes so they are easier to find and access too.  If you try any please leave a comment on the recipe it self for the Real Simple Good team as they always loving hearing from their customers.  I always rate and provide a review on all their stuff.  Hope everyone is staying safe and has a healthy week!!! Remember happy cooking!!!

New Recipe - Whole30 Bulletproof Coffee (Whole30 and Paleo)

Anyone else love bulletproof coffee but without sugar? I do! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Since I’m doing a mini Whole30 round I wanted to share my own version without sugar. Love this as it keeps me full for hours!

Whole30 Bulletproof Coffee (my own recipe)

Ingredients: 
8 to 12 oz hot black brewed coffee
1 tbsp Ghee (Clarified Butter)
1 tbsp Organic MCT Oil
Few splashes of Nutpod (I used caramel flavor but any of the flavors works well)
1/8 tsp of Cinnamon

Directions: 
Place everything in a blender and mix for about 20 to 30 seconds. It will come out frothy and so delicious! I added a few sprinkles of cinnamon on top as well. Enjoy!
