Recipe:
3 medium-large, skinless, boneless chicken breasts
ham slices, about 6 thin slices (less that 1 oz. each)
3 cloves garlic
1/4 red bell pepper
1 T fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 C almond meal
2 T dried parsley flakes
1 tsp black pepper
pinch Celtic grey sea salt (optional)
paprika
3 T olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Pound chicken breast pretty thin. In a mini food processor, blend garlic, parsley, and about 1/8 C red bell peppers. You could also just finely mince them and mix them together well. Sprinkle chicken breasts with a little black pepper and salt. Then spread the minced mixture over the top. Finally place ham slices on top and put some thinly julienned red pepper slices over the breast. Roll chicken breast up as tightly as possible and secure with tooth pics.
Now dredge rolled chicken breasts in almond meal (mixed with parsley flakes, black pepper, and grey salt). Sprinkle with a little paprika. Heat olive oil to medium heat and brown chicken on all sides. When chicken in browned evenly, place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes.
I served this on a bed of cauliflower rice along with some sautéed zucchini. Don’t forget to remove the tooth pics before dining!!!

Yesterday’s post was a healthy twist on breakfast, while today’s post is a healthy twist on a special treat! Remember, treats don’t need to come every day. Just every once in awhile. This one is especially good now because it is strawberry season! Head on over to Hendersonville Produce to get some strawberries…they are sweet and delicious right now.
Strawberry Kiwi Paleo Pie is not only delicious and raw, it’s super easy! And healthy! Not to mention you can use just about any berry to make it. I have used cherries and blueberries, and imagine peaches would be really nice for this recipe as well. Click HERE for the link to site.
Crust
1 c. raw macadamia nuts
1 c. raw hazelnuts, walnuts, or pecans
8 oz. dates
1 tsp.cinnamon
nutmeg to taste
Filling
2 c. strawberries or mixed berries
8 oz. dates
3 c. strawberries cut into bite sized slices
1 c. kiwi cut into bite sized slices
1/2 c. unsweetened shredded coconut, plus a little more to decorate
2 tbs lemon juice
Directions
For the crust:
1. Put nuts in a food processor and pulse until they grind up into tiny crumb-like pieces. Don’t just hit the “on” button or they will become nut butter quicker than you’d believe.
3. Chop dates into chunks and put in food processor along with the cinnamon.
4. Pulse mixture until it comes together and resembles a graham cracker crust mix.
5. Press this mixture into a 9 inch pie plate starting at the center and working your way out to the edges. Use your fingers to press and crimp the edges to be pretty.
6. Stash the crust in the freezer while you prep the filling. (Keep in freezer for 15-30 minutes.)
For the filling:
1. Soak dates in water for about 10-15 minutes
2. Chop up 2 cups of strawberries and put in a blender.
2. Drain dates and add to blender with lemon juice.
3. Puree until smooth liquid.
4. In a large bowl, combine the bite sized slices of strawberries and kiwi along with the shredded coconut. Pour puree over the mix and gently combine with a rubber spatula.
5. Carefully put filling into the crust and spread with spatula to even it out.
6. Arrange strawberry and kiwi slices over top in decorative pattern, pressing gently into surface. Sprinkle some shredded coconut on top as well.
7. Chill pie in the fridge for at least an hour or two.
Viola!

The recipe makes one, so adjust it accordingly. For my breakfast, I ate three along with a heaping handful of strawberries and it was the perfect sized meal.
BAKED BENNE
Ingredients:
Medium Portabella Mushroom, gills and stems removed (gently scrape them out with a spoon)
1 egg
Seasoning (BBQ Rub, Cajun, S & P, Paprika, or whatever you like)
Directions:
Place mushroom bottoms up on a baking sheet. Crack egg and place inside mushroom cap. Sprinkle with seasoning. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-30 minutes depending on how done you like the yolk. The white will be done in about 15 minutes and the yolk still runny. By 30 minutes, the yolk will be cooked all the way through. You can be fancy and cut them with a fork and knife but I just picked them up and munched away.

What a great POST WOD, bring to the gym, and throw down the pipe snack! Are you sick of just plain ole’ sweet potatoes after a workout. These pancakes are easy to grab and take with you to eat within that 30minute window where your body needs those carbs to replenish the lost energy in the muscle. Eat them cold or warm them up in our microwave. Plus, it will save you a few minutes when you get home to get yourself ready or get the kids ready for the day!
Strawberries are also a good source of fuel after a workout. They are great to throw in a smoothie with greens, whey, and coconut milk. Remember, STRAWBERRY season is around the corner. Check out Bradley Acres Farm in Cottontown, TN HERE on their website. They will give you a quick list of what foods that are in season. They have the best strawberries and it is loads of fun to go pick them on a Saturday morning with your family. Look forward to that in May!

NEW ATHLETES, CHRIS PAYNE AND HEATHER SMITH, JUMPING RIGHT INTO THE MIX OF WORKOUTS WITH A BOOTCAMP CLASS
Best eaten within 30 minutes after your workout. Carbohydrates are best Post-WOD because your body needs to replenish the muscle glycogen lost during the workout. Your body will not store these carbs at this time like they normally do when eating them all alone. Don’t get me wrong, carbohydrates are great because they provide abundant vitamins and minerals. Just make sure to eat them in balance with your protein and fat to keep your insulin levels stable and more importantly keep YOU in a good mood! Try some sweet potato fries and see what you think. For me, this is the only way I eat sweet potatoes, especially after a workout. The mushy consistency of cooked/mashed potatoes doesn’t do it for me after a workout. However, these I can manage to get down quickly after a tough WOD.

PALEO 101
By theclothesmakethegirl
Visit this site for great info on some GREAT recipes and helpful tools as you embark on your Paleo journey tomorrow!
You’ve probably heard a paleo diet called a lot of things: Caveman Diet. Primal. Real Food. Paleo Lifestyle. Around our house we call it “dino-chow.” All of these terms refer to roughly the same way of eating; they are based on the idea that we are healthier—both mentally and physically—when we mimic the nutrition of our hunter-gatherer ancestors.
The No List
Let’s get the bad news out of the way immediately: Eating paleo means avoiding many foods that may top your list of favorites. Different paleo practitioners promote varying guidelines. I follow the standards outlined of the Whole30 program developed by Melissa and Dallas Hartwig of Whole9. The guidelines are fairly stringent but extremely practical, and they’re based on the idea that we should eat the foods that make us the healthiest. I can’t argue with that.Each of the “No” foods has its own unique properties that ensure its place on that infamous list. Generally, these foods are excluded because they either negatively affect your metabolism, or cause systemic inflammation, or both. Some are so bad they both wreak havoc on your metabolism and fire up your immune system. We very strongly dislike them. (We’re looking at you, grains.)
My “No List” includes the following, so you won’t find any of these foods in Well Fed recipes:
Processed foods
Grains
Legumes
Soy
Added Sugar
DairyAlcohol
White potatoes
Vegetable oils
The Yes List
We eat real food: animal-based protein, vegetables, fruits, and natural fat sources. Want to see it in a list? Here you go:
All animal proteins
All vegetables, except as listed above
All fruits (in moderation)
Quality fat sources: coconut products, olives and olive oil, avocados
Nuts and seeds (in moderation)

These posts should give you plenty to chew on if you’re ready to make the switch to paleo. From how much meat and produce you’ll need to buy… to being prepared to you never go hungry… to how to season your food with panache.
