Yesterday I gave you a little hint that I would be posting something very special today. However I didn’t tell you why I thought about it. Well, Monday morning while at my 6am Crossfit WOD I was talking to a fellow crossfitter and MVT challenger and she said her biggest obstacle was coming up with her weekly menu. And because I was curious when I first started down the Paleo lifestyle route I wanted to share a sample week menu with links to some of my recipes and some from other Paleo Foodies out there. And for another sample, check out the latest post by Elana from Elana’s Pantry where she is also sharing a Paleo Weekly Menu. As I mentioned to all of you yesterday, I’m not a Paleo expert by any means and every person may need more or less in their diet. What I worked on below is only my suggestions and I only hope this helps someone out there as they start down the road towards a Paleo Lifestyle….which I happen to think ROCKS!

Remember, this is for people that want to incorporate more nutrient dense foods into their diet by eliminating the grains that are toxic to a large percentage of us. So, bottom line…eat your veggies for your “carbs” because they’re far more nutrient dense than grains. And if you are totally scared and worried about time during the week fix a few things over the weekend to heat up during the week. You don’t have to follow this by any means, these are just suggestions. Many times I find myself making a lot in order to have left-over’s for the week.
You can find other great menu suggestions in Robb Wolf’s book The Paleo Solution, Sarah Fragoso’s book Everyday Paleo, and from the awesome Whole30 plan. And if you are not familiar with the blog Nom Nom Paleoyou better get familiar soon! She pretty much rocks. I’m always looking forward to reading her blog to see what she ate and cooked in her day. She posts everyday on what she ate….I seriously don’t know how she does it but I’m so glad she does! Looking for other Paleo bloggers to follow? Here are some of my everyday reads:
Hopefully this helps some of you that have just jumped on the Paleo wagon and even for those Paleo followers who are looking for some new recipes to try. And for those newbies, I welcome you to a new lifestyle that will amaze you in more ways than one.
Happy Paleo Eating!!

Confession….instead of doing my usual baking and cooking over the weekend I spent most of my weekend recovery from my major jet lag. I felt like I was hit by a ton of bricks. Instead of going overboard I decided to get some much needed rest and spend time with the family. With that being said no recipe to share. Instead I thought I would share with you some recipes I have spotted along the web that are on my list to try….like very soon! I have been trying to catch up to recipes some of my other favorite food bloggers have posted while I was away. So many amazing recipes and so many I can’t wait to try. Here are just a few:
No Rise Orange Rolls – Cheeky Kitchen

Lot’s of great recipes, right? I have a lot of recipes to try! Hopefully I can get back in the kitchen soon.

Are you ready for some football?! A little Superbowl Football? The big weekend is coming and I know what will be on my TV come Sunday. I have to admit I’m not a huge NFL football fan but the Superbowl is fun to watch. I will sit and watch and cheer for the underdog. And of course enjoy the great commercials and half time show!
Come Sunday I will have some finger foods for us to enjoy while watching the game and a couple sweet treats too. After all, what’s a football game without some great food and desserts? I thought I would share with you some of my favorite party foods and some favorites from my other fabulous foodie friends out there.

With today being the last day od 2010 I thought it would be fun to share the top 10 most viewed recipes on Multiply Delicious in 2010. It was quite interesting to see too. I will start with #1 and work my way down to #10.
#1 – Cinnamon Monkey Bread Muffins – I just posted these this week but the lovely folks at Pillsbury featured the recipe on the Pillsbury Facebook page and I got a overwhelming viewing. Thanks Pillsbury. I have made these three times since Christmas morning so they are a favorite in my house too.
#2 Oreo Cheesecake Cookies – These little cookies were already a popular post but Maria from Two Peas and Their Pod featured them on Tasty Kitchen and they received several more views. Thanks Maria!!
#3 Heath Bar Chocolate Trifle – This is my mom’s recipe and it is a really quick and easy recipe perfect for a summer time cookout of a pot luck at work.
#4 Maple Sweet Potato Bundt Cake – This cake is still one of my favorites from this past Fall that I made. I love Sweet Potatoes!
#5 Apple Spice Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting – A great cupcake and these stay super moist with the addition of the applesauce. Love these cupcakes and the cinnamon cream cheese frosting is wonderful and can be used on other types of cupcakes too.
#6 Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls – These are actually from 2009 but still cotinued to be a top viewed recipe. These are a great morning breakfast treat.
Number 7 and 8 are some Halloween treats from this past Halloween and both were a lot of fun to make.
#7 Halloween Pumpkin Oreo Lollipops
#9 Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls – I love cinnamon rolls and I love sweet potatoes and when you put them together it’s heaven.
