Paleo Cooking Challenge Checkin

Time for a check-in on my little personal paleo cooking challenge - where I stand on the grocery bill front, what I plan on cooking this week, and what's already prepped for the week ahead!

First Challenge Recipe: Chicken Cole Slaw

Here we go with the first recipe - fresh and fast, perfect for summer!

Yoga and Balsamic Vinegar OVERLOAD

Today's theme is taking some basic stuff and putting them in overdrive - my yoga class trial and a recipe!

Chicken Chimichurri Recipe

A few weeks ago, my Seriously Simple cookbook finally came from Amazon. Ryon has a copy of this book and it contains one of my FAVORITE all-time recipes, island-braised short ribs. I have been meaning to buy a copy for ages, but never really got around to it. Well, I finally did buy it, only to find that not all the recipes are good paleo - canola oil, corn starch, and sugar in recipes??? WHAT???

Kitchen Messes..and meals!

I pity da fool that is my roommate...because I totally made a monstrous mess in the kitchen today after 3 hours of prepping my meals for half the week. Sorry Heather! And alas, I have no "food porn" to share because I was too busy cooking 5 different things at once that I didn't have time to take any pictures. But just imagine how delicious it looks, ok :)

Back at CFMPLS, and cooking...

Today was my first day back at CF Minneapolis, and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I kind of went "crazy" with not working out and eating everything in my path  over spring break that it's starting to show in my performance.

Weekend Recap and Enchilada Recipe!

This weekend we did a community WOD at Crossfit St. Paul, and all the Minneapolis metro area affiliates sent great people over! It was awesome to see how the Crossfit community is blossoming up north.

Where in the world...?

Yes, I know, I haven't updated in a while. It's been a crazy week at school lately, and to top it off, I've been kind of blue lately. Nothing major, so no worries, just haven't felt up to writing about my experiences the past couple days. I can't remember, but I actually think I missed a few days of Crossfit... BUT, as it is Sunday and I DID work out yesterday, I'll start up again.

Kitchen Adventures!

This weekend was all about taking adventures in the kitchen! I had been wanting to roast a chicken because The Label Says Paleo says its easy. And, because I didn't get to go to Vegas, that meant I got to go to the farmer's market to see my meat seller (they're only open every other weekend due to the inclement cold weather)!
