    Oh my! Where has Curtis Stone been all my life?!? :love:

    Ahem...moving on.

    I made some fabulous (if I do say so myself) tri-tip this weekend. Tri-tip is nearly impossible to find in Texas, where brisket is king. Apparently all the Californians hog it all for themselves. Anyway - it's about a bazillion times tastier than brisket, fairly lean, and you don't have to cook it for eleventy billion hours to get a great piece of meat. Here's the recipe I used (and if you're in Texas trying to find it - look at Costco. Get the roast. You won't regret it).

    In other paleo-related news, my crossfit gym had a 7 week challenge, where we were divided up into teams, weighed, body fat tested, measurements and pics taken. We all did a workout the first day, and then we got points for working out, keeping a food log (that's how I stumbled onto MFP!), and keeping a workout log. AT the end, we were weighed and measured again, and we did the same workout to see how our times improved (workout was 3 rounds of 21 box jumps, 15 pullups, and 9 clean and jerks). In 7 weeks, I lost 17 lbs, 16 inches, and 6.8% body fat! And I decreased my workout time by about 3 minutes. That was good enough to earn 2nd place!! :happy: :glasses:

    Oops - sorry! I'm Leigh. :smile:

    The only bummer was that I didn't gain much muscle (although I didn't lose any either - gained about 1.5 lb. lean muscle). I was looking over everyone's results and it seems that those that lost the most weight gained the least amount of muscle. I suppose it's just incredibly hard to gain muscle while eating at a calorie deficit. I figured that would be the case, but it is really obvious when I look at the all of our results. Those who lost the least amount of weight gained on average about 3-5 lbs. of muscle!

    That does kind of clarify where I want to go in the next few months though. I'm going to focus on getting the weight off now, and then building muscle when I'm down closer to 20% bodyfat (I'm at about 35% right now - so a long way to go). Wish you could do both at once, but it doesn't seem possible! Until then, I don't expect to see much progress at the gym, except for things like pullups where bodyweight is a big factor.

    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1/3 cup ketchup
    2 tablespoon mustard
    1 3 0z can french fried onions

    preheat oven 350

    in large bowl combine ground chuck and next nine ingredients, mix well

    in small bowl combine ketchup and mustard, stir 1/4 cup ketchup mixture into meat mixture, reserving remainder

    unfortunately the bread crumbs aren't Primal. Anyone know a good substitution for bread crumbs? I'd love to try freerange's recipe!

    EDIT: NM, freerange, I just read that you left out the breadcrumbs. Doh! Silly me, SVS

    Organic, free range pork skins are a splendid substitute for bread crumbs, same consistency and everything..........I use a rolling pin and put them in a zip lock bag and roll, roll, roll..........then store in an air tight container in the fridge for when you need them,

    Nuts are a wonderful substitute! Crushed walnuts, pine nuts would work beautifully! If you simply must use bread, Sisson recommends rye bread

    Really? A lot of times I'll mix some with garlic salt and coat pork chops with it, fry 'em up and my kids devour them.

    Ash-I get it at Trader Joe's. You can also make your own if you have a good food processor.
