I guess this has remained my own personal list of dinner recipes. I just love to get new recipes and find fast dinners that are good for the family and keep my preschooler permanently off the 'kids menu' and eating a variety of flavors with the whole family. Here's a couple from the last week or planned for this coming…

http://paleomg.com/leftovers-brazilian-curry-chicken/ Made this for the first time yesterday. My whole house smelled like curry all day & I couldn't wait to eat it. My husband expected it to have heat - no, but easy to add. We served w/cauliflower rice & a Brazilian kale & mango salad.

At least I made it onto the elliptical yesterday. Today is not likely w/the bar association holiday party at 5:30. Tomorrow is my husband's work party & Saturday we open the day w/pancakes w/Santa & close w/the Nutcracker. Might start the work day a little late to get to gym after taking kiddo to school... Exactly the…

Earlier this year we traded our morning pancake combos for "special drink" combos. My 4-yr old daughter LOVES them. While they vary, our default (shared between 2-3 people) includes: 1 cup frozen blueberries 2 cups fresh kale or spinach 1 Tbs chia seeds 1 Tbs flax seeds 1 serving protein powder 1 cup unsweetened almond…

For Wednesday, cheater chili: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/easy-chili-233249 Can't help but to use the leanest grain fed beef or bison we can find. Sometimes we use the Organics 3-bean mix or add extra beans. Sometimes the particular frozen veggie combo they list is not available and we use a southwestern…

Does putting up Christmas count as a workout? Yesterday went great; today less so. Client thanked me with Egyptian chocolates made from Camel milk & neighbor thanked me for scuba gear use with spiked eggnog.

For Tuesday: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bill-phillips-back-to-fit-recipes-baked-chicken-parmesan.html We use a LOT of Bill Phillip's Eating for Life recipes.

We added this salad to it, which we'll use again. http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1013732-kale-salad-with-apples-and-cheddar

We've typically aimed for a Zone-like macronutrient ratio of 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat in our house, and used a lot of the Eating for Life recipes from Bill Phillips. If you portion honestly, it makes life easy and doesn't require drastic dieting or massive restrictions. But we've done crazy extremes in this house…

Agreed. I do much better with my health and fitness goals - & feel better overall - if I drink enough water. I have a 24 oz thermos that I try to fill 3 times daily.

Melody Poole, yo-yo-er. I find when I keep an honest log of food and exercise, it basically forces better habits. I go in and out of keeping track and and doing well or listing all of my overcommitments as reasons I don't have time to exercise, etc. We also cycle in and out of eating out a lot or cooking better at home and…
