Paleo Guacamole Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps with Crumbled Bacon

Whenever we have guests over for dinner I try not to make elaborate three course dinners, ain't nobody got time for that!  A lot of times we just have dinner and dessert and the thought of having to think about making an appetizer gives me a headache.

A couple weeks ago we had my brother in-law come spend the weekend with us.  To make his stay a little special I thought I'd make a delicious dinner in his honor and yes, I decided to make an appetizer.

$100 Albion giveaway and working out with friends at The Gym

For the past year I've been going to the gym and I feel like I've been doing the same workout.  A couple weeks ago I was starting to feel really unmotivated and didn't even want to hear the word gym or workout, because I was so sick and tired of it.  Do you ever feel that way where you go through stages where you're really good at eating healthy and exercising and then you go through periods when it's the last thing you want to do?  It's been happening more than I'd like to admit.

Paleo Chocolate Coconut Macaroons

Last year I was on a quest to lose the 35 pounds I lost from having my first baby, Amelia.  I enrolled into this program called LeanMoms and pretty much changed my life when it came to understanding and learning how to eat healthy and exercise to lose weight.  One of my favorite recipes from this program was this decadent Chocolate Coconut Macaroon recipe!  This treat helped me to get through those times when I wanted to eat a dozen donuts or an entire carton of ice cream.  They're so delicious, sweet, and have the nicest hint of saltiness to them, I'm sure you'll fall in love with them too!

Chocolate Raspberry Protein Packed Oatmeal by Maybe I Will

I'm so excited to be guest posting today @ Fry Sauce and Grits! I LOVE Courtney and her super cute sisters! It is a pleasure to be asked to stop by and share one of my favorite breakfasts!

Or if I do have time I am headed into a busy morning where I won't have the opportunity to eat or snack until lunch. Enter my secret weapon! These Protein Packed Oats will seriously keep you full for HOURS! I have a couple different flavors combos that I have whipped up that I rely on. Today I'm sharing my Chocolate Raspberry version! It is SOOO good and like I said will keep you FULL!

See how pretty! 

Chocolate Raspberry Protein Packed Oatmeal 

Andie Thueson of Maybe I Will

1/2 C Old Fashioned Rolled Oats 

1 C Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk 

1 C Water 

1/2 Scoop Chocolate Protein Powder 

1 Cup Fresh or Fresh Frozen Raspberries 

2 pkts Stevia - or to taste 

Top with a small handful of Dark Chocolate Chips (optional)

Stir Oats and Liquids until they come to a full boil. Reduce heat to a slow simmer. Let simmer for 10-12 minutes stirring occasionally. When you have about six minutes left whisk in protein powder. By whisking you'll avoid nasty protein clumps. (Trust me you don't want them!) Once the Protein has been whisked in add your raspberries.  Remove from heat and let stand for a couple minutes. Then top with dark chocolate chips and ENJOY!!! 

After adding the Liquids you're gonna think I'm crazy! 

It will seem like WAY too much! But trust it will all work out!

Whisk in your Protein Powder during the last 6 minutes of Cooking -- this will minimize the protein powder breakdown. 

Ahh yeah the best part enjoying your yummy oats! Between the raspberries, oatmeal, and protein powder this little gem is engineered to provide energy and lasting fullness! Enjoy!!!

Avocado Toast Recipe

I want to share with you my new favorite snack/breakfast/treat.  I've been doing my best to eat well more consistently and I needed to switch things up from eating my protein powder for snacks everyday.  I introduce you to the Avocado Toast!

I posted this picture onto Instagram and had a flood of comments on how to take this snack into the next
level!

Pumpkin Pork Enchiladas

A couple of years I was in the mood for something chicken and pumpkin for dinner.  I searched on the internet and found this Pumpkin Chicken Enchilada recipe from Gluten Free Mommy.  Since then it's been my favorite enchilada recipe.  I started to experiment with this recipe and found that I like it even better with shredded pork!  This recipe is easy to make, fast, delicious, flavorful, and not loaded with calories like normal enchiladas are.  If you wanted to mix it up, instead of doing enchiladas you could make it into a layered casserole and swap out the pork for chicken!  Its very versatile!  I used up the rest of a pork loin we had the night before for dinner.  I got to use up boring leftovers in a new and delicious way.   It's a win-win for everyone!  

Easy Quinoa Salad with Sesame Lime Dressing Recipe

I don't know about you but I sometimes get in a lunch rut.  My husband has been feeling the brunt of this rut (so sorry honey).  I LOVE peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but when you make them almost everyday you tend to go a little cray cray. 

At the beginning of the year I was able to lose the 35 pounds I gained from having Amelia in 2012.  It wasn't easy, it was a lot of work of waking at times no one should have to wake up at to go to the gym, eating the right kinds of foods and eating the right size portions.  

Healthy Chocolate and Coconut Oil Mug Muffin Recipe

I've been SO excited for fall to arrive this year!  Don't get me wrong, I love summer, but I've been getting tired of the heat.  I heart fall because it gets me all nostalgic of cool crisp weather, thick sweaters, wearing socks with boots, hot out of the oven pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, football games, school starting up, and the changing colors of the leaves.  During this festive time of year my biggest weakness comes out in full force and that is my sweet tooth.  Let's be honest, it can get a little out of control.  I inherited this very dominant gene from my mother.  

To help curb my sweet tooth I've been making healthy desserts to help me get through this time without having to go buy larger pants.   As I have been on this heath and fitness crusade I've found a bunch of healthy desserts I can enjoy and that satisfies my sweet tooth, but the one I'm sharing with you today is one of my favorites!  

Zucchini & Kale Savory Cakes

Hello, it's Caitlin here!
Last week I went to my local Saturday Farmer's Market, and I scored a bunch of kale, and a HUGE zucchini for just $2.00.  Talk about a deal!  I know that kale has been all the rage at the moment due to its high fiber, and nutrient content, so I was excited until I realized I wasn't sure how to prepare it...  Rookie mistake. Luckily my room mate, April, had shared her zucchini pancake recipe with me, and I thought, why not combine them both?
