Cilantro/Lime/Garlic/Zucchini Meatballs

I think my Italian blood shined with these!  I grew up in a family where every Sunday we’d have my Mom’s homemade spg & meatballs with her homemade sauce!  Since I started Paleo I’ve been lacking that.  Last night I wanted to make something quick but good but also was craving some meatballs.  So I put together what I had and this was the outcome.  Very very good!!  I ate them with my fav, spg squash but you can eat them with whatever veggie you want.  Hope you enjoy!

With school I haven’t really had much time to make dinners. I needed a mental health break so I took the past 2 days off from school and just focused on getting a good work out in and getting back to what I enjoy doing, creating random meals! 🙂   I will put Cilantro on anything and love it, I just love cilantro.  I had Spg Squash that I made the night before and some Brussels so I created this dish.  Back to school work tonight so enjoy ya’ll!

Oatmeal Pancakes

oatmeal pancakes

I woke up on a Sunday morning craving pancakes, I LOVE pancakes.  Haven’t made them in a while so decided to get creative with what I had. I’ve recently put some grains back into my diet for a bunch of reasons.  So, I know these aren’t Paleo but they are still good and healthy for you!  Oats have a wide array of Vitamins, Minerals, Antioxidants, they carry complex carbs (meaning they are low sugar carbs which fuel the body and produce energy or “ATP” – thanks Anatomy!), Iron, Protein and are high in Fiber.  These are so so easy to make!   Hope you guys enjoy these as much as I did!  If you’re craving pancakes but want to stay healthy – try these!!

Almond Butter Chocolate Bites

I got this idea from a recipe I found on FastPaleo.com.  Everyone knows that I have a huge sweet tooth so I wanted to give these a shot and holy amazeballs, these are good!!  I’ve made them twice, once with no fruit and the second time I added banana in the mix.  Highly recommend!  If you have a sweet tooth, like me, and want to stay Paleo, try these!!  I will warn you that they are very rich so it def satisfy’s that craving.   Maybe eat these and chase them down with some Unsweetened Coconut/Almond Milk.  Enjoy!!  🙂

Sugar-Free Mojito’s

20130715-222513.jpg

Mojito’s are one of my favorite drinks if not my favorite mixed drink but I really hate consuming all the sugar – bad hang overs and makes you feel stomach sick.  I’m not a big drinker to begin with so when I do actually drink I want it to be worth it.   I decided to order this one day but had asked the bartender not to add the sugar.  EVERY single time I order it, the bartender/waiter always look at me funny saying that mojito’s are sugar – right, exactly!! But don’t knock it til you try it!!  Last weekend I was in the Cape and wanted to attempt making them on my own…it’s def a work in progress, but I wanted to share this with you as this has become my favorite and signature drink!  This cocktail is refreshing (yes B, REFRESHING! :p) . And no, this is not paleo but I wanted to share in hopes that you would enjoy it as much as I do!  #paleowater

Cilantro/Arugula Pesto Pork Burgers

pork

Last night I was insanely tired from my day and post WOD but was craving something yummy to eat so I forced myself to get creative in the kitchen and whipped this up in 30 mins!   I eat a lot of chicken so I wanted to switch up my protein source by purchasing ground pork.  I’ve never really cooked with ground pork (besides my bfast sausages) so I wasn’t sure how this was going to to turn out!    It wasn’t too shabby! I will definitely be cooking more with ground pork, so stay tuned!  Enjoy!  🙂
