Cooking Plans Take the Backburner

First of all, I would like to happily report that I DID in fact make it to fitness class on Saturday morning where I learned that body bars can be used to torture hurt tone EVERY muscle in your body.  Who knew?  I had big plans to cook this weekend but errands, laundry and ski lessons for kids took front seat, so this week should be interesting.

On the menu this week for dinner:
Chicken and vegetables 
Bob went to Europe last summer and enjoyed mixed vegetables cooked in chicken broth, tomato sauce and seasonings and it is one of his new favorites.

Tacos
This time I will tone down the red pepper flakes as to not blow the taste buds off the girls.

Sirloin and Fries 
Baked potato fries for Bob and the girls, and either zucchini or sweet potato fries for me.

Paleo Meatloaf Rings and Mashed Cauliflower 
I am tweaking a recipe that my sister shared with me years ago.  The link is not the actual recipe but it is the general idea.  Form meatloaf, sans breadcrumbs, into round patties and place in 1 inch green pepper rings. Pan fry to sear and then bake for 30-40 minutes in the oven.  I found a great recipe for Mashed Cauliflower that I can't wait to try!

I hope that I can find the time to make some of these delicious sounding wraps so that I can have breakfast burritos and chicken wraps for lunch and maybe even a taco wrap on taco Tuesday.

Day 19 and going strong.  Still down 13-15 pounds.  I feel good overall.  I am sleeping better, I have more energy, I am rarely hungry between meals and I am finding that I don't have to be afraid to eat out and about.  Although I am probably not a 'pure' Paleo, I am following the principal guidelines of this type of eating.

This is my story.  My PaleOMG story.
