Chef Salad - Picnic Style

Happy Friday All!

Plank challenge is going good, day 3 now. This morning sucked actually. I think I did it too early. 

Did anyone watch the "fittest crowd on earth" video from the CF Games? Redic. But no joke that's really how it was. CRAZY! I guess when I look awesome like most those girls maybe I will run around in spandex and a sports bra. Nope, just kidding. Unless it was to be funny.

So I hurt. EVERYWHERE. Can't help but smile about it though cause you know what that means.....those baby muscles in there are growing! I bragged on IG and FB about this so I might as well toot my own horn on my blog right?!

Yesterdays WOD @  CrossfitGP.com  was... 

Strength
3×3 Pausing front squats as heavy as possible.
Hold the bottom of the squat for 3 seconds. Use the same weight for all three sets.
Conditioning
3 rounds for time
20 power cleans(95/65)
20 hand release push ups

I did it! HOLLLLAAA!!! And I learned that power cleans are fun! Thanks Anna, Katy and Scott for the little reassurance I could do it :)

BEAST MODE... RAAAARRRR! hahaha


I am really super excited for Sunday. One of my favorites is coming to visit me, Ms. Natosha King. YAY!!! We worked together for a short time till she got fired cause she got mouthy (haha!) and I am so thankful that I met her through work cause otherwise I would have been living without this super cool chick in my life! Can't wait to see you Tosh!!!

I know you probably all know this by now, but my boyfriend is so great. He is so super supportive of me in everything I do. He totally came home and busted out these stickers for me! Surprise!! I love you baby! Anybody wants one, let me know! :)))


Live.Love.Train.Paleo. Stickers ohhh yeah! Big Time! :)
 
After dominating the wod yesterday, Scott and I went out to good ol' Merlin and watched some Buck Harms at concerts in the park. It was awesome! We met Annie and her husband, Scott out there. They are adorable. Music style? Some Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and more old countryish jams. I guess he plays out at Galice Resort a bit too so you people should probably go watch them and get your boogie pants on! Packed up our chairs and I pre-made us a delicious chef salad of course.
XOXO!


I am obsessed with music. I'm not kidding. Most any kind really just depends on my mood. Anywhere from Dave Matthews (Fav), to Dubstep, to The Kooks, gotta throw in some Grough & Eligh some old classic rock like the jam I am listening to right now "Can't you see - by the Marshell Tucker Band", you name it, I will give it a try. I always have music playing on the good old Pandora One. Had to upgrade cause those dang commercials annoy the poo out of me. Not literally, just figuratively.

K to the easy peasy chef salad!



Chef Salad - Picnic Style

Salad-
6 strips of bacon 
3 hard boiled eggs
red onion (diced)
cucumber (diced)
black olives (sliced)
cherry tomatoes (diced)
scallions (chopped)
romaine lettuce (chopped)

Slice em, dice em, chop em, whatevers clever

Chicken-
1 lb chicken thighs or breast
1 garlic clove minced
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp fresh black pepper
1/4 cup coconut aminos
dash of sea salt
coconut oil for frying chicken

Dressing-
1/4 cup EVOO
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Heat pan with coconut oil
Place chicken in pan and sprinkle spices on top, cook for a 3-5 minutes still they sear a bit
turn meat and pour coconut aminos over top, cover and let cook till meat is done 12-15 minutes or so

In a seperate pan fry up your bacon to a crunchy state, let cool and chop those suckers up (love me some bacon bits!!)

If you are taking this to a picnic, or somewhere to eat out of your home, my suggestion is to place all the toppings (minus bacon & chicken) on the bottom of tupperware then lettuce on top. It is WAY WAY easier to disperse the ingredients without a mess this way. Get some chicken and bacon on there, drizzle some dressing and your set! Grub up!!
