Chicken Cacciatore


Time to fill everyone in on what's been happening in my life. Thanksgiving turned out delicious. For the most part, I ate paleo. WAY TO MUCH! That's okay though cause I went to bed at 8pm that evening and was still tired Friday morning. Is that a food coma? I'm not sure what a food coma really is but I imagine its something like that.

So at Crossfit GP we have been doing this strength bias cycle, its awesome, but its also ripping me apart. Good news is, I'M GETTING STRONGER! Although walking around regularly and getting up and down my stairs is difficult at times. I wouldn't have it any other way. I am so thankful to not be injured anymore and be able to workout regularly. It makes me happy. :)

Our weekends lately have consisted of a little too much alcohol intake. Not that it isn't fun, but MAN. The recovery when you get older takes too long. We went out Saturday night with a group of friends from the box and drank way too much. Not to mention I took a shot of something I shouldn't have that caused me to have a headache for 24 hours. LAME. Thinking its time to slow my roll down a little bit and ride my bike or something.

Kitchen project is still underway. I have been slacking on these doors. But its okay, the fact that I don't have doors doesn't really bother me too much. So I'll get to it. Do you guys like the Beiber song "Beauty and a beat"? I LOVE IT. Everyone makes fun of me, but ever since I saw him perform it on the music awards, I love it. You people would too if you'd get over the fact that its Beiber. Everyone loves to hate on the Beibs.

I just made myself the MOST amazing breakfast, two fried eggs and sweet potato pancakes. Um YUM!

Chicken Cacciatore

2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts
4 roasted red peppers (from the jar), chopped
1 14oz can fire roasted tomatoes
1 14oz can tomato sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup beef broth
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 yellow onion, diced
2 bay leaves
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried tarragon
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
salt & pepper
 
Preheat your oven to 350F.
 
Lay chicken breasts in baking dish sprinkle with pepper and drizzle olive oil, bake for 25 minutes until cooked through. While your chicken is cooking on your stove top bring a large saucepan with olive oil for medium heat. Add your garlic and onion and cook down until onion is soft. Next add all remaining ingredients and stir to incorporate all the spices. Once chicken is done, immediately add to sauce mixture and cook on low for another 10-15 minutes to let the flavors marry.
 
 
Serve over white rice, cauli rice, zucchini noodles, or grilled veggies (like me). Or just eat it by itself. Do whatever tickles your fancy. Any way you eat it, its delish.

Thanksgiving Prep

So this morning like any other Tuesday morning I get up at 5am to do the 6am wod. I have to do the 6am class on Tuesday's because I help the Dunkins' with different things. Today it was food prep for the Turkey Day. Anyways, I will talk about the food after I tell you this. I was on my way home from the gym, killed the shoulders today. If I can lift my arms over my head tomorrow I will be surprised. K, back to story. Driving home from the gym my eye itched, so I itched it. But the thing is I half poked myself in the eye slash had salt/sweat and whatever else was on my hands assuming other peoples sweat (ew...I just thought about how gross this is) and this all went in my eye. It burned SOOO bad and was watering a rediculous amount. So its a soggy waffles morning, a monsoon outside to be exact and it's dark and hard to see because my driver side windshield wiper sucks(go figure). So I was driving unsafely and should have stopped to let my eye recoop. But I just wanted to be home so badly! So I patched my bad eye with my hand and continued onward.

So my day ended up being super productive and I cooked my little heart out! My body is immobile from the dead lifts yesterday and tomorrow it will be my shoulders. I wouldn't have it any other way! So I don't have any recipes BUT I have pictures of the things I made with the links to the recipes I got them from.

Needless to say I will be getting a lot of cooking in this year for the feast. I still have to do my pumpkin pie, apple crisp, stuffing, cheese/sausage platter, and french onion dip for my families meal. Fun stuff!

Wishing everyone a joyous time with their family and friends on Thanksgiving this year!

Elk Stroganoff


Jimminy CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

It's right around the corner! Booyah!! I love the holidays. Cooking delicious meals, spending time with your closet loved ones and decorating of course Plus its my sister's 21st birthday this year, and that means my birthday is 7 days later. And that's the most exciting! I already put up a little Christmas tree today. Its so cute! This week is Thanksgiving and what's everyone up to?! We are going to go spend some time out at my parents house and eat some amazing food. I'm making a few paleo dishes for Scott and I so we can try and stay good.

It's raining cats and dogs here in Grants Pass. Such a soggy waffles morning, but I got my workout in! Laying in the bed listening to the rain was definitely not a motivator this morning. Anywho, kitchen is coming along, slowly but surely. Thanks to Scott and Mike this last weekend we got it all painted. Makes the world of a difference! I love it! It had motivated me to finish the doors, but that's still a huge project. Ugh.

Rogue is 4 months old this week. CRAZY!! He got his last set of shots this afternoon and he is ready to see the world. So happy that I don't have to worry about him coming down with the plague and whatnot. He needs puppy school. I need to sign us up for that ASAP. He gets a little crazy...


Tried out this recipe and it turned out tasty!

Stroganoff

2 tbsp ghee
1 yellow onion diced
1 cup of sliced white mushrooms
1 lb ground meat ( I used elk, obviously, but you could use anything)

2 tbsp of tomato paste
2 tsp thyme
2 tsp rosemary
4 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp arrowroot
1 1/2 cup beef stock
2/3 cup canned coconut milk
salt & pepper
cauliflower mashers
 
In a large fry pan heat ghee to medium and add your onions, garlic and mushrooms. Saute until soft and caramelized. Once this has cooked down for a bit remove and set aside. To the same skillet add your ground meat. Once this has cooked until hardly any pink is left add your thyme, rosemary and tomato paste. Stir well to incorporate spices. Sprinkle arrowroot powder over meat mixture and stir to combine until arrowroot is completely mixed in. Add beef stock and stir to mix in. Sauce will begin to thicken as it comes to a simmer. Stir back in your sauteed onions and mushrooms then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a couple minutes. Stir in the canned coconut milk and serve over your cauli mashers!

Beef Stew



My house is literally in shambles. Let me fill you in on a little something, I have OCD. If things aren't the way they should be or if I don't have done what I like to have done I cant relax and I begin to stress out, then I am not any fun to be around. It blows. But I have been pretty good at keeping my composure for the most part. I just want my kitchen back to normal. I still have to do all the cabinet doors (stain & seal) but I only have to seal the frames. I'd say I am about 50% there. After that is paint. Kitchen transformation here we come! :))

Before....
 
Next....
 
This is why I haven't wrote any blog posts because I haven't cooked. Ugh, I have ate leftover beef stew and meatballs for lunch and dinner the past 3 days. But this beef stew was awesome. I tried calling it beef soup because Scott doesn't like beef stew. And we also found out he doesn't like beef soup either. Cant win with that boy. Picky.

So if you want something delicious and comforting and warm and savory and amazing, make this.

Beef Stew

2 lbs stew meat (cubed beef)
2 parsnips, chopped
4 carrots, peeled and chopped
4 stocks celery, chopped
2 yellow onion, chopped
2 tbsp minced garlic
4 cups beef broth
salt & pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 generous sprig of rosemary
2 tbsp ghee

 
In your stew pot heat ghee to medium and add stew meat. Saute meat for 5-10 minutes to get a nice brown on it. Add your onions and garlic and saute until onions are transparent. Next add all of the remaining ingredients, and cook on a low - medium heat for 45-60 minutes. The longer the better for meals like this so all the flavors can marry and be delicious.

Serve and enjoy!!

Ginger Spice Cookies


And its monday again already?! I had an awesome weekend with my man. Saturday we relaxed, correction, I relaxed and Scott organized the garage. It looks SOOOOO good. My anxiety doesnt get all fired up when I step out there now. Thanks goodness. So that afternoon we decided to head over to Medford for some shopping and dinner. We ate at Misoya. It was really good! Sushi places are always iffy cause you never know if it's gonna suck but I was impressed. MMMM nom nom! Then Sunday we went for a motorcycle ride. My first time on Scott's BA bike. So much fun! Had a blast and the days weather was AMAZING. Like 75 and sunny. Then family dinner at the Pierson residence. Perfect weekend :))

 
 
So I started a project today. I am currently taking a break from it because my arms were about ready to fall off from vibration. I am taking on the kitchen cabinets and sanding them down to stain them a different color. YAY for home projects! I'll keep you updated on the progress. I am sure a couple days into I wont be so excited. But it's going to look awesome when its all done!

These cookies are very holiday. Make them and feed them to people. That's what I do.

Ginger Spice Cookies

2 1/2 cups almond flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Vanilla Glaze
1 tbsp raw honey
2 tbsp coconut butter
2 tbsp coconut milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350F

In a mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients and add in the wet. Stir until well combined. Scoop about a golf ball size of dough onto parchment lined cookie sheet. Softly press down to flatten a bit. Cook for about 20 minutes. Let cool completely.

 
While your cookies are baking and cooling make your icing. In a food processor combine all ingredients and mix until a cream is made. Once cookies are cool put a little frosting on top and enjoy!

Deviled Eggs with Bacon


Oh the sun is out today! You know what that means...GUNS OUT! Ha, just kidding. Although I did take a picture of my bicep yesterday for progress and it's growing, slowly but surely. So last night was Halloween as we are all aware (way to point out the obvious Codi) and all the little kids, or big kids, or young adults were out and about collecting candy on the streets. I know its tradition but if you think about it, it is kinda strange that we Americans do this.

Anyway, good news. I got more then 3 hours of sleep last night. Rogue enjoys urinating on his bed in his kennel. I think he likes it to smell like his pee. But we don't, cause then it makes our room smell like pee. So I end up washing his stupid bed a billion times and that's just annoying. So we decided to punish him by not letting him have a bed to sleep on. Just crate. Bad idea. It punished us worse then him. Neither of us got any sleep. Ugh. So last night I only gave him a towel and it was better. Not 100%, but still better. He is getting so big. Its crazy. I bet he weighs 27 lbs now. He has the whole lanky thing going on right now.


So this was the other appetizer I took to the party last night. They got gobbled up!

Deviled Eggs with Bacon

6 eggs
1 tbsp ground mustard
1 avocado
4 strips of bacon cooked and chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper
paprika
1 tsp lime juice

Boil eggs for 15 minutes. Let cool completely before cracking and removing the shell. I boiled mine in the morning then came back to them in the afternoon. Carefully de-shell and cut eggs in half removing all yolks into a bowl. In the bowl with the yolks add all ingredients, avo, bacon garlic powder, s&p, mustard and lime juice. Stir together until fairly smooth. Stuff eggs and sprinkle with a little paprika. Enjoy! :)

Witch Fingers

 
HAPPY HALLOWEENY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's such a soggy waffles day here today. Bummer for all those trick or treaters. Hopefully the rain will subside for a bit. This is the first year that I haven't dressed up for Halloween. Crazyness. I got to help out with some costumes yesterday. I made a "CUT" thing that directors use. Casen is a movie director. It's going to be an awesome costume!! Then we had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to make Ollie's crash test dummy costume work. Needless to say I found black paint on my elbows this morning. So much fun for the kiddos!

I am feeling accomplished already today. I went to the 8:30 class this morning and got the wod out of the way. I was almost done with my 2 min of air dyne and Annie walked in. I ran and tackled her cute self. Love working out with her. I tried to be festive so I wore purple and orange. That's all I had. FAIL! haha...SAIL...man I love that song. Any who, today's wod was hard. Burpee's really kill my quads. AHH!!
for time…
20 burpees
then 3x
3 power cleans(135/95)
6 box jumps(24/20)
9 wall balls(20/14)
then
20 burpees

We are going to a little open house today and I wanted to make some scary treats, so here they are! They are so super fun to make, they would be a good project for kids, if you had them, which I don't so I had fun yelling at my furbabies to get out of the kitchen the whole time.

Witches Fingers

3 eggs
1 and 1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp coconut flour
1 teaspoon water
almond slivers
Coarse salt

Beat just 2 eggs, and set them aside. Then in a medium bowl add the almond flour, salt and 1 tbsp butter together and mix well. Once well mixed, add the eggs.  Next add in one tablespoon of coconut flour and mix in well. Let sit for about a minute as the coconut flour takes a bit of time to absorb. You are looking for a dough that can be easily kneaded, so it will not stick to your hands. Add a second tablespoon of coconut flour, stir well, then add last tbsp of coconut flour.


Let the dough rest for five minutes. Preheat oven to 350F. Make your fingers and bake for 10 minutes.
 
Remove from oven and change heat to 400F. Glaze with last whipped egg and top with coarse salt. Bake for 5 minutes top and remove. Glaze with butter.


Serve with some marinara, yum!

Chicken Pot Pie


Do you ever feel like you need a break from life? Like your daily routine? Well I obviously felt that I needed one so that's why I took a week off of posting. I apologize to those who hate me now. But I am back with some awesome recipes!

Something I learned about myself, I can't do diet/challenges. I suck at them actually. It messes with my head and I feel like I want to cheat. I am already so strict on the paleo thing and eating clean that a challenge was kind of a stupid idea. I had guilt about EVERYTHING I put in my mouth. I was also emotionally eating for a good two weeks. Ugh. Back on track though, I quit the challenge with Annie and we both decided NO MORE!

I want to give a shout out to Annie Hyde though, she has been kicking some major ass at the box lately. Her form is staying tight on everything and I am finding myself envious of her lifts! Not to mention, she's getting freaking strong! Go Annie. You're my athlete of this week (there is no significance to that, but it sounded cool. I could make you a paper crown :)).


Went to an awesome birthday party for our friend, Amy this last weekend. Went to a restaurant in town that was having a dance/Halloween themed party afterwards. We all danced and it was awesome. Get a bunch of crossfitters together while drinking and the moves really start coming out. At one point there were some of us doing the Burgener warmup to the beat, along with dead lifts. Hilarious! Great times. Although it took the entire Sunday to come back to life. That's fine. It was totally worth it.

I made this dinner and its so amazing, I'm not kidding. The breading on top is heavenly. TOTALLY comfort food.

Chicken Pot Pie

1 lb chicken breast or thighs
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 parsnips, peeled and chopped
1 red onion, chopped
3 celery stocks, chopped
3 cups of swiss chard, chopped
2 tbsp thyme
2 tbsp minced garlic
salt & pepper
2 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp animal fat ( I used bacon fat)

for the breading
4 egg whites
1 cup almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
⅓ cup ghee

Preheat oven to 400F

In a soup pot heat up your animal fat and add your chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, add the rest of your ingredients and cook down for about 25 minutes or until vegetables are able to be poked with a fork. While this is cooking make your breading mixture. In a mixing bowl whip your egg whites and then add your almond flour, baking powder salt and melted ghee. Once the vegetables are soft add this mixture to a Pyrex pan. Take your breading mixture and spread over the top in biscuit shapes.

 
Bake this for 12-15 minutes until breading is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes and grub up!!

Pear Glazed Pork Chops


What a wronry wronry weekend its going to be. Scott is going up to Portland to take his level 1 cert. and I am staying home with the dogs. Yippy for me! :) I got invited to a Catalina Wine Mixer and bonfire though, NBD (no big deal).

I watched about an hour of the ducks game last night. I don't love to watch football. It might be that I don't understand it. I don't know.

I missed the 8:30am class this morning. DANGIT. I really wanted to go. They did rope climbs, I have never been able to climb a rope my whole life! I have a suspicion that I can do it now. I should probably go to class tonight and try, don't you think?

So the pot pie experiment turned out freaking delicious. I can't lie about that one.

Pear Glazed Pork Chops

3-4 bone in or not pork chops
2 ripe pears sliced thinly
1 red onion sliced
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 tbsp coconut oil
salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 350F

 
In a large frying pan heat some animal fat to medium and place pork chops in pan, you are wanting to sear each side for about 3-5 minutes until a light crisp is formed. Once this is achieved put your pork chops in a Pyrex large enough so they are lying flat. Cook for about 15 minutes until cooked through.

While the pork chops are baking in a medium frying pan bring oil to medium heat and add sliced onions and pears thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Stir occasionally but not too much, you want these to caramelize. MMMM....

 
 
 
Once everything is finished cooking top your pork chops with pear and onion glaze, dig in! :)

No Peanut Butter Cookies


I feel like it's necessary to tell you people that I feel like I am the luckiest girl in the world. I have such amazing people in my life. I want to talk about one in particular, Scott. Not only am I blessed to just have him in my life but to have him as the love of my life too! He's the most caring, loving, non-judging, compassionate, fun man I know. He is such a hard worker and throws his entire being into what he is passionate about. It is so inspiring to see that. :) I love you babe!

I got to spend the day with my sister yesterday. Such a gorgeous fall day out, too! We had a great time! I love sissy time. We went shopping and to go see that movie Frankenweenie. It was cute. Made me realize I need to spend more time with my family. Its funny when you live in the same town and never see them. Shame on me!

Gotta get my booty in the kitchen this morning, I'm going to attempt to make a version of chicken pot pie. Yum!

No Peanut Butter Cookies

3/4 cup almond butter
1/4 creamy sun butter
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup raw honey
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
sea salt
coconut crystals

Preheat oven to 350F

Grease a cookie sheet and in a large bowl mix all ingredients until well incorporated. The batter will be chunky. Grease your fingers a little and grab a chunk smaller then a golf ball. Roll and place on cookie sheet. Press down with fork and sprinkle sea salt and coconut crystals on top.



Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges look golden.

Enjoy!

Also Corrie put some new books in the library at the gym including some cool cookbooks so I would go check it out if you're a member at CrossFitGP! :))

I woke up so stinking early this morning. Slept like doodoo last night too. So I have been up since 5:25am and it's finally starting to get light outside. Kinda eery and foggy, I like it. Kinda halloweeny.

Acorn Squash Soup

 
A 124 inch gourd?! That's insane. It looks like a ginormous loaf of bread. A watermelon of 225 lbs?! 209 lb field pumpkin?! Its harvest season on Live with Kelly & Michael. The pumpkin patch is open and from the looks of FB everyone and their cousins are checking it out. I wouldn't mind going, but it's been raining so I think I shall wait.

So I am trying something new out with the pup this am. He's not allowed to get on the couch. So far, so good. They are both actually asleep on the dog bed in the corner. How precious. Rogue was a monster last night. The definition of Rogue is a playful, mischievous person, scamp. Well looks like we chose the perfect name for him. Or did we set him up?!

I made this soup yesterday for lunch in the midst of raining falling outside and the darkness of fall setting it. It seemed necessary. It turned out delicious!

Acorn Squash Soup

1 acorn squash, skinned and diced
1/2 sweet potato, skinned and diced
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 apple, chopped
1 cup canned coconut milk
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp nutmeg
2 tbsp coconut oil
4 strips of bacon , cooked and chopped (for garnish)

In a soup pot saute chopped squash, sweet potato, onion and apple for around 10 minutes in the coconut oil. Add spices, coconut milk and chicken broth. stir until everything is well incorporated. Cover and cook on low-medium heat for about 25 minutes. Once everything is soft enough to stick a fork through. Get out your blender, or puree thing (I don't have one, I need one) and put soup veggies into the blender until creamy. Do this until you have blended ALL the chunks out. Put back into soup pot and scoop yourself a nice little serving. Top with chopped bacon.



Best when eaten snuggled up in a blankey watching a scary movie :)

Tuna Boats


I feel like I am a broken record when I say this but the fall weather is amazing. I absolutely love it. It rained last night so it smells amazing today. I want to make a pumpkin latte. I found a good recipe but I am missing the main ingredient in my house, pumpkin puree. Ha! Darn. Next time.

I am in the mood to watch scary movies and snuggle with my loves. Yesterday Scott and I literally did not get off the couch all day long except to go grocery shopping and to make food. It was awesome!! He is leaving me this coming weekend for 3 days so I had to get my maximum snuggles in. I am so excited for him, he is going to take his cert for CF. He's going to be official! Holllllaaa! (jokes)

Saturday was the live stream of Team USA VS. Team Europe in London. We got the projector set up down at the gym and watched it with some good people. Super fun and crazy to watch! GO USA! :)) We won, 6 - 20. Duh! It was awesome. I think my favorite to watch was the synchronized OHS and deadlifts. That was pretty neat, I have never seen something like that before.

 
So this recipe is super simple and the mayo recipe is from Everyday Paleo, but when I used to be not-paleo this was one of my favorite lunches. I LOVE cucumbers and how can you go wrong with tuna and mayo?! Right....RIGHT!


Tuna Boats

1 cucumber (English are better)
1 can of albacore tuna
1 tbsp homemade Everyday Paleo Mayo
1 celery stock chopped
1 tbsp chopped onion
1 tsp yellow mustard
salt & pepper

Slice the cucumber in half and take a spoon and carefully gut out the seeds, so you have a boat! Set aside and make your tuna.

Drain tuna and add in all the ingredients. Mix until well incorporated and stuff the cucumber boats with tuna.


Enjoy!
