Dinner time!(For Humans)

[Bob Felts]

If you cook without making a mess your doing it wrong! LOL - that's where the flavor comes from. I do "clean as I go" - too many years of commercial kitchens ingrained in my habits but even then good cooking is messy!!

I totally want to go to your house for supper. DH and I will bring appies and dessert. I'll even clear plates and load the dishwasher. Jus sayin'


You're probably a 16 to 18-ish hour drive, which would give you and tour lovely wife loads of time to plan a menu and whatnot!

Sadly, not yet. I am thinking about catering BBQ. Thinking about selling the Harley and buying a reverse flow smoker, such as a Lang 84 or a Meadow Creek 8 foot with a live smoke warmer, and a chicken grill / charcoal grill. I can feed several hundred off of a smoke at a time with one of those. Then we can talk about shipping & handling

Been a while since I've seen anything on this thread. Here is tonight's dinner...Salmon Wellington, scalloped potatoes, roasted purple cauliflower and garlic. Easy to make and worthy of company.

A coworker went Palo and the results were dramatic. She has been able to keep on Palo for the last three years, and she looks amazing.

That's awesome! I missed a lot of things at first but now it's mostly something here and there or a glass of wine to decompress after working with the public ha!

Working with the public? Were you a bad person in a previous life?

I went strictly Paleo last week for medical purposes and haven't really missed anything. If I do and eat it I pretty quickly remember why this way of eating is better for my body. I live and breathe by Danielle Walker's cookbooks.

Good find! I need to read her stuff. I follow paleOMG blog...she's a crossfitter and has written a few paleo cookbooks. I have a hard time finding good substitutes sometimes. I don't do any dairy or sweeteners of any kind...so even honey is out for me ugh. I like it so far! Do you find that you meal prep for the week or so you do things daily? We need snacks at my house haha

 

[tmricciuto]

I meal plan for the month (dinner only) and then prep two weeks in advance. A lot of Danielle's foods are crock pot meals and you can make them ahead, which I do and then food save them. Then just pop them in the crock pot. I haven't had anything from her I don't like yet. She has amazing chocolate chip cookies, but they use honey. I can have honey (no dairy) but in very limited amounts so I only get three cookies a week. I eat nuts and roasted seaweed for snacks, but I find that if I eat a hearty b-fast and drink a glass of water before any meal I'm really not that hungry. Every morning I have 2 poached eggs, two slices of Udi's GF bread with homemade preserves (in the cookbook but do use honey, I'm just off of processed sugar) and 3 pieces of bacon. If I've really worked out or run the dogs then I add in half an avocado. I find that the more fat I eat per meal the more satiated I am. I am going to make her bread this weekend hopefully because Udi's has way too many calories for me.

But I am steadily dropping about 1/2 - 1 lb a day. The detox wasn't so bad and I'm sure once I plateau (last time I went Paleo I dropped 10 lbs in no time) that I will tweak it a bit so I can lose a bit more. I am also walking the dogs a total of 4 miles a day. I walk them separately and do intermittent jogging of about 90 seconds with each. Then I also started Insanity Max 30 but am only doing the modified exercises so far. I track all of my food through My Fitness Pal first thing in the morning so I know where I'm going to land on macro nutrients and what to tweak. Cauli-rice is my absolute favorite substitute.

Yea food prep is a must. I'm on my fourth week and have done well...down 8 lbs and about 4 % body fat ish. I Crossfit so I work out 5-6 days a week and feel amazing! The gym I go to is doing a challenge and made everyone pay a few bucks to buy in and then cheating is another little bit. I don't miss bread at all but after this challenge that ends on Monday I will add in some honey and maybe grass fed butter if needed. And of course wine! That's one thing I choose to cheat on haha

I am really interested in crossfit, but a bad shoulder and bad knee has me sidelined from that. I am walking/jogging the dogs and just started the Insanity. I need to find my knee brace so I can get back to running at the gym regularly.

Good for you so far! That's awesome what you're doing with the food plan and with walking and insanity...it's all so time consuming and takes such a commitment. I am a physical therapist and I love Crossfit but it gets a bad wrap from some people because they don't drill technique and go too hard or too heavy. If you ever get to the point that you want to try I suggest going to a gym that focuses on technique because otherwise it could definitely cause issues

Thanks for the information. I work from home so it's not too bad for me. I support a team in NY and I live in AZ so I get up and online at around 515 - 530 am (that will change as the days get hotter and I will walk the dogs before logging in), work until sunrise which is now about 7 and then walk each dog (Bella min 30 mins and Sage about 40 mins, right now getting in 4 miles between the two and intermittent jogging), then back to work and whatever (sometimes includes some quick house cleaning like dusting and what not), then take my hour lunch and do my 30 min Insanity workout and then eat, then log off at 2. I only work 7 hours a day so 530 - 2 fits the bill. In the warmer months I will probably work 7 to 3 and just take the girls before work as by 9am sometimes it is already in the 90's and the pavement is super hot.
