HCG Diet Day 12 + Paleo Scallop Scampi Recipe

At first it was really fun keeping a daily diary of my HCG diet. Now it’s just kind of tedious. Except I was really excited about finding Miracle Noodles! But I think it’s important, and hopefully helping others! Weight: down 3 pounds from yesterday and the lowest I’ve weighed since I started weighing, but not…

New Cooking Technique: Broth Saute

I made scallops tonight in a broth saute and they were awesome! It’s SO easy. Here’s how to make lowfat scallops in a broth saute. The key: rinse the scallops and dry with paper towels. Get them as dry as you can, this will give them the “fried” effect without the fat. Do it: Heat…

(Paleo) Recipe: Cuban Ahi Tuna

That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) and I make a lot of ahi tuna. Drizzle with lime and garlic salt, throw it on a hot cast iron skillet, and it’s done in 4 minutes. The other night we didn’t want that, though. Too boring. So I foodily’d up a recipe for Cuban Ahi Tuna. What?! Here’s…

Recipe: Cabbage Soup

This is the best cabbage soup ever. Not that I’ve had a lot of cabbage soup. But it is LEGIT!! It has lots of dairy, so if you are a non-dairy Paleo, you can stop reading. As usual, I started somewhere with someone else’s recipe and modified it like crazy for what I have in…

Paleo Cookies Recipe

Last weekend, one of my dearest friends (non-paleo, non-crossfitting) texted me asking for a paleo cookie recipe. What?! I was super excited. She said that she was baking for her mother-in-law, who eats mostly paleo for health reasons … yes! I sent her the following email: Here is my all-time fave paleo chocolate chip cookie…

Eggplant sweet potato lasagna

I had an eggplant sweet potato lasagna at a restaurant and thought to myself, “why didn’t I think of that?” But I promptly forgot about it, until I read a recipe for it in a magazine. I tore out the page, magneted it to my refrigerator, and then didn’t follow it at all. Y’all already…

Primal-ish Scones

How awesome does this look? A cup of coffee and a scone. Almost Paleo, almost Primal, definitely delish! I adapted the recipe so far away from its original that I will reprint it here. It is based on the recipe in Elana’s Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook … You Need: 1/4 cup grassfed butter, melted…
