Apple Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Pork Chops
We got a dog. It’s awesome and awful at the same time. Cuddled with sleeping puppy? Awesome! Standing in the middle of the deck with nothing but a housecoat on at 6am because the dog can’t take a leak without an audience? Awful. So why the heck would a family with 5 young kids get a dog?
Whole 30….Winning, Losing, and Perseverance
First, I am just blown away by the reaction to my 1 Year post. I’m typically a very reserved person and I considered not publishing that post. I had a mild panic attack at the thought of people reading about me and possibly judging me. I didn’t think my story was anything special and then I started wondering if I would be on the receiving end of hate mail. Ahhh…the things that go through my mind….
1 Year Later…
Wow…I never imagined when I first took a 30 day Primal challenge that I would get to an entire year! I can still remember the first couple of days when I felt irrationally angry, exhausted, and had a nightmare of a headache…. I could have quit then. But something amazing happened… a switch flipped and I felt better than I had in years! And so… I kept going… 1 year. This is only the beginning!!
Waldorf Salad
I have had a morning where I am so grateful to live in the country that I do. It’s election day in Alberta so the kids and I walked the (less than) mile to the polling station to vote. It was beautiful outside; The sun was shining and I was thinking about the women in other countries who have to walk a mile just to get water every day. It took me less than 5 minutes to vote and on the walk back home, we put my school registration papers in the mail. Again, women in other countries have no right to an education and I feel so grateful to have this opportunity.
Sweet Potato Egg Cups
This is the easiest recipe ever. So easy, in fact, that I’m a little embarrassed to be posting it! The one area that most people struggle with when they switch from a standard diet to Primal/Paleo is breakfast. We’re so ingrained to believe that breakfast HAS to be one thing (cereal, toast, oatmeal) that we forget that in many places, breakfast foods are just regular foods. You can throw anything on a plate at 7am and call it breakfast!
