Feliz Navidad

 
 So I had leftovers for breakfast and lunch and decided I needed to spice it up for dinner! So I made Tacos. These were delicious and soooo easy. After last nights labor intensive dinner, I am extatic to report that tonights dinner was cooked, eaten, put away and cleaned up in 50 minutes! These were fresh filling and delicious. Next time I would probably add bell pepper, onion and garlic to the meat.
Paleo Tacos:
1lb Groung beef cooked and drained
Add to the meat:
Cumin
Chilli Powder 
Garlic Salt
Tapatio (optional for some spice)
(a shake or 2 of each)
Assemble with:
Iceburg lettuce cups (layer 2 or 3 for strength)
Sliced Olives
Avacado
Roasted Tomato Salsa (from Trader Joes)
My review of this is NOM NOM NOM! So great, so easy, definitely recomend it!

Day 1: With a Grain of Salt :)

Breakfast: 1egg, 1/3 cup egg beaters, 1/4 bell pepper, 1 Mushroom,  Spinch and Pesto Sausage

Lunch: Trader Joes Chicken Patties, Omega 3 Trail Mix, Apple, Spinch

Butternut cakes: Shredded-peeled butternut squash, Shredded onion, 3 eggs. Grilled Chicken-sprikles with garlic poweder
 Sauce: 1/3c apricot preserves (not paleo, but could be a simply fruit option) 1T fresh diced ginger 4T gluten free soy sauce, 2-4T Sriracha-Hot chili sauce (depending on how hot you like it) Fried over Medium heat. I used Olive Oil flavored Pam, but you could real Olive Oil and I'm sure it would make these taste delicious.

So I officially made it through day 1. I decided that my paleo challenge is probably going to be with a "grain of salt" literally. I made it through breakfast and lunch without any faults, but come dinner I tried making butternut squash "cakes". When I was met with a  bland, but nicely textured, butternut hash, I wanted a sauce to make it taste better! So I faltered by making an alomost-paleo sauce to drizzle over the cakes and chicken. It was delicious! (in a spicy-asiany-doesn't really go with butternut-kind of way) Still not bad my first day and a new recipe. I will be eating leftovers for the next 3 days, So I should post a new meal on Thursday probably.

Tomorrow

I have been attempting to eat and cook paleo for three months now. Constantly falling off and jumping on the band wagon has got to stop. I know that this will be a challenge for me, but its one I want to take. I guess I'm truly curious what this program can do for me. I am a relatively healthy person that has become a slave to fighting 10 pound battle on the scale. With constant calorie counting and deprivation, followed by empty indulgences, I am left exhausted and unfulfilled. I also have longed for find a blog or page that actually follows what someone eats! Every day, every snack, every silp up included. So I am going to attempt to post all of my meals with recipes included. Also I will track my weight and before and after photos. So here we go! Wish me luck!!
