Here's the deal; When I started going paleo I thought "I can cook vegetables no problem! How hard can this be?" It wasn't until recently (about a month after starting) that I realized how few vegetables I actually ate. I don't mean quantity, I eat a lot of veggies, I mean variety. How many peppers and asparagus can one person eat?

I came across a recipe on Pinterest for cauliflower wraps and thought they could easily be adapted and used in place of corn cakes, english muffins, biscuits, corn bread, etc.  Try swapping out the chives and peppercorns for green chilis and cilantro, or fresh basil and garlic.

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, core removed and chopped
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 2 Tbsp fresh chives, minced…

Hey guys! So last night, I was flipping through my Real Simple magazine and came across the most beautiful spread about summer sides. Then it hit me - it would be SO SO cool to do a whole little series about summer side salads and dishes to serve!

I mean, you don't need to make it only for big barbecue parties and stuff, but just little simple recipes that are so easy to toss together within a few minutes - without compromising any flavour, or anything healthwise!

Here's a "must try" for me. I love celery!

The Fast Diet by Michael Mosley

Hubby and I just watched Mr. Moseley on our local PBS station. His method of reduced calorie fasting twice a week really caught out collective eyes. We’ve both read a lot about Intermittent Fasting. It does make sense in the Paleo mind (at least to mine). Our ancestors didn’t always have a steady supply of food and going hungry a couple times a week was not uncommon. 

Since I appear to be stuck at around 125 lbs, I figure what the heck. We’re doing the reduced calorie fasting a couple times a week starting today. Keep watching over the next 6-8 weeks and see if I’ll ever get into that bikini I’ve always wanted. Right now, I’m skinnier, I feel like I look great, but I still want to lose the excess belly fat that I blamed on my pregnancies (some 30 years ago LOL!).

Wildlife advocates want more up-front planning

By Summit Voice

SUMMIT COUNTY — There's more wrangling over oil and gas drilling leases in Colorado, as wildlife advocacy groups are protesting the Bureau of Land Management's proposed lease of three North Park parcels totaling about 2,200 acres.

According to National Wildlife Federation attorney Michael Saul, some of the parcels could impact important sage-grouse and mule deer habitat.

I've seen how BLM screws things up for us. This cannot happen!

Chili Lime Spaghetti Squash

I wish I’d taken a photo, but it was so delicious!

Cook a spaghetti squash however you like. I found it easier to just bake it in the oven at 375 for 1 hour, 20 minutes. (poke several holes in it, then turn 1/2 way through the cooking time) Let it cool and then cut in 1/2 and scrape out with a fork.

I used about 2.5 cups of the shreds, 1/2 a lime, 1/2 tsp. chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin and Chipotle chili powder to taste (or leave out, it’s spicy!). Put a tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil in a pan over medium to medium-high heat, dump the spaghetti squash in and spread it around. Sprinkle the spices over the top and let it sit until brown on the bottom. Then use a spatula to turn it over in pieces. Drizzle with the juice of 1/2 a lime, cook for a minute more and then serve!
