Discovering Simplicity

I enjoy cooking. A lot of the challenge of Paleo for me is finding interesting and fun ways to make food that looks and tastes great. However, even I can stumble into a week where I am overwhelmed with life, busy, or away from home. It is in these moments that I experience weakness, exhaustion, and frustration that so often turns into finding an easy way out with fast food, frozen pizza, or a quick pasta meal.
I challenged myself to create a two-week meal plan that required little cooking time, once a week grocery shopping,  and simple food that anyone can make! Costco was an easy place to start for some great staples like frozen hamburger patties, rotisserie chicken, and great produce that was all Paleo-friendly. So here is a meal guide that can be a lifesaver for us when we are desperate for a vacation from the kitchen! Please join in and post any of your super easy, go-to meals for when you're in a pinch. Thanks!


 Two-Week Meal Plan

Eggs or eggbeaters
½ Chicken Sausage
½ an apple

Fiesta breakfast

    Coach Outlet Store Online, and that she sells and buys her used Coach Factory Outlet quite frequently. And while you may look at the Coach Outlet Online and think that she has bought it around a month back, because it looks just a little used, chances are that she actually got a used Coach Outlet Online yesterday from a previous owner who actually used the Coach Factory Outlet
