Paleo. Whole30. Clean Eating...a little food update!
/
ok I feel like i need to do a quick eating update here...
I had mentioned recently, here and on Instagram, that the hubbs and I were starting to eat Paleo/Whole30 again.
A few weeks ago, we started the Whole30 challenge which cuts out all carbs and processed sugar.
I went through the awful sugar withdrawals for a few days and already felt better.
I'm a big believer in cutting sugar to lose weight and add health!
(read about my big post-baby weight loss and how I broke my addiction to sugar here)
After about a week, we decided that doing the super-strict Whole30 was not gonna be best for us this time.
That said, we have still been eating Paleo most of the time.
Parker has been doing it about 90 % of the time, and me about 75%,
as I am not trying to lose weight myself, just trying to feel better and have better energy!
And that I do.
It feels good to eat cleaner, even if it's not 100% of the time!
I will be sharing some food ideas, including Paleo and Whole30 stuff, because I know so many of y'all are interested in that! And like I said, even though we aren't doing it as strictly as we had planned, we are trying to eat a lot healthier.
In addition to sharing new recipes and ideas, be sure to check out the Paleo recipes I have posted in the past...
Check out the "Yummy" tab over there ------>
and then look in the Paleo section!
so here are a few of the things we've been eating, just in case you need a few new simple ideas!

Zucchini Bacon side-dish:
Cooked sliced Zucchini in a little bit of Olive Oil on the skillet,
added some crumbled bacon, pepper, and seasoned salt.
Is a really good, easy side dish to compliment any meat, or just a quick yummy way to get a portion of veggies!
- - - - - - - - - -
Sweet Potato Chili Fries
This is hands down one of my favorite Whole30 meals, I make it a lot!
I'll share the recipe here soon.

Turkey Roll-Ups with homemade mayo, avocado slices, tomato slices, and crumbled bacon
Eat with plantain chips and strawberries,
A good lunch idea, my hubby loved this!
- - - - - - - - - -
Egg Scramble with turkey sausage, Bacon and fruit
a yummy, paleo, filling breakfast!
- - - - - - - - - -
Whole30 Sausage Apple Hash
a YUMMY dinner, or
a good side dish with a main portion of meat, if you need a little extra protein.
*this is a great dish for you Crossfitters out there!
also, my littles love this meal!!

Spicy Honey Chicken
Another fav around here, especially for Parker bc he loves spicy food!
be warned, this def has a kick!
*this is not Whole30, bc it uses honey, but it IS Paleo!

I posted this forever ago before i changed up my blog, so the post may look a little funny!

Whole30 Tuna Salad
another great lunch idea!
(tuna, chopped celery, chopped apple, chopped walnuts, a little mayo, a little mustard, salt and pepper)
