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!

I started reading the Practical Paleo Cookbook. She has an AWESOME part in the front of the book that goes in the detail about the science behind the paleo lifestyle. And she explains it so its easy to understand. I recommend y'all check it out! 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.
Totally into the comfort foods lately. Tis' the season. I can't wait till Thanksgiving! It's gonna be a paleo holiday season for us here. Can you say excited!?

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!

White Chicken Chili

Up & At Em!!!!

I have been up since 6am. Crazyness. Rogue wasn't feeling so hot so I had to get up with him and figured I would be productive and go to the store for more cooking supplies bright and early. I made some pumpkin bars yesterday with a crust like bottom. UM YUM! So there is a gagillion just sitting in the fridge so I took some to my favorite coffee girl and made a box to go for Mike. I'll have Scott take the rest to the gym later so I am not tempted to eat them. Feeding people delicious healthy treats makes me happy.

I have received a few comments from members at the gym that they love reading my blog and trying out my recipes. I seriously appreciate you all SOOO much more then you know for following and trusting me with my kitchen skills to give these a try! Someone mentioned almond butter cookies instead of peanut butter cookies. I'm experimenting today! :)

I need to organize my closets/dresser. Its killing me, pure chaos! I need to get all my tops hung color coordinated or something. I always have a tough time deciding if I like it color coordinated or tanks/short sleeve/long sleeve. Then there's dresses, pants oh and workout clothes. I have an entire dresser dedicated to workout clothes. I prefer to wear that kinda stuff over anything else. Love me some comfy cozy lulu's!

So I made this chili for SOA night this week. It was a hit! Easy peasy!

 

White Chicken Chili

 

2 lbs chicken thighs, diced into 1 inch cubes

1 red pepper, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

1 yellow onion, chopped

1-2 jalapenos, seeded and minced

1 clove of garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup canned coconut milk

1 (4 oz) can green chiles

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon sage

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

 

It's slow cooker season people! It might as well find a permanent position on our counter top. So get out your slow cooker and put all your prepared ingredients in for 4-6 hours. I did mine on low cause I knew I was going to be gone forever. Any who, stir occasionally and eat up!

Pumpkin Nut Muffins

Winter pansies are planted, I love fall. Pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING is around us. All the squash and cute pumpkins. Have you seen the pink pumpkins?! They look all prehistoric. I love the cool crisp air in the mornings and evenings. LOVE IT!

Today is laundry day here in the Lookabaugh household. I have been slacking so I have to do like 4 loads. Ughhh. Then I am going to experiment with another pumpkin recipe. And I am NOT going to eat it. I already promised myself. I need to step it up on the paleo challenge cause I know I haven't made any gains other then weight. Ha!

Rogue is being such a pest today. He's all up in my business. Like on my laptop. Killing me. It's not his fault his legs are 3 feet long, I get it, they probably have that annoying RLS. I get it all the time. Restless leg syndrome sucks...have you ever experienced it? I hope not.

I decided I want a puffy vest. Not super puffy, like the flat puffy ones. You know what I mean.

Any who I gotta run and get some things done around here! Hope y'all have a great day! :)

Mini Meatloaf Balls with Bacon

I have been sore for a good 72 hours. My hamstrings are wound up so tight it hurts to sit on the toilet because the pressure of the seat feels like a roller. Yes, I have been rolling them out and stretching galore. Still sore though. We did Diane on Saturday. I guess she showed me whose boss!

I am proud of myself because I have gotten back onto a workout reggi. Though I am scaling pretty much everything to nurse my hip flexor issue I am still doing 3-4 days a week. Go me. Not so "go me" on the paleo challenge. I had a breakdown Sunday and ended up drinking some wine. And I ate a banana dipped in dark chocolate and coconut flakes. YIKES. I love to eat. So I still feel pudgy from this Sunday mishap. But in order to keep my sanity I HAD to drink that wine. I may or may not have drank the entire thing.

So this is why, reason #1 I was tired and wanted to take a nap day Sunday but that didn't happen. #2 I had to clean the house because it looked like a bomb went off. I guess I can't leave the house for more then 12 hours without coming home to a catastrophe. Dishes, dog toys, clothes and more. So luckily for Scott he was not home because I went all crazy white girl on this house. Took me about an hour. Swept, mopped, vacuumed, dishes, dusting, toilets, the whole 9 yards. #3 We had a BBQ to attend Sunday evening at 5:30, that time was coming FAST and I hadn't showered so kindly they let us move it to 6:30. I ran to Safeway to get some celery, bell pepper and chorizo. I was making a hash thing. I had forgotten the celery so let the people behind me cut it front so I could go grab the celery real quick. Bad idea. They were on the wick program and had to go return and exchange like 4 different items. I lost it. I actually said out loud to this chick " I guess I shouldn't have let you guys cut in front of me, this is definitely teaching me patience." She should/could have punched me in the face. So short story long I was there for at least 10-15 minutes. Every time I thought about going to a different line I thought, oh their probably almost done. Nope. So then its my turn and my stuff had gotten moved forward since it was ahead of them to begin with. Well some retard took it all back! So then I had to go and get all new groceries!! Christ. When I got home I was all emotional and stressed. It was redic.

So needless to say I made Scott stop on the way to the BBQ and get a bottle of wine cause I was a little on edge. The BBQ was super fun, we laughed, ate delicious food and were merry!

So these little nuggets are delicious and sooo simple! I make them a lot for Scott when I am in a hurry or not going to be around for dinner.

Mini Meatloaf Balls with Bacon

1 lb ground beef

1/2 lb ground pork (sweet or spicy, I usually do a little of both)

1 sweet yellow onion, finely chopped

1lb uncured bacon

1/4 cup almond meal

2 eggs

1 cup broccoli slaw

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

salt and pepper to taste

 

Preheat oven to 350F

 

Time to get your meatloaf gut ingredients going. So take 1/2 of the 1lb of bacon and chop it up into bite size pieces. Put into a pan and begin to cook down. Once the fat has began to rise, add your chopped onions and broccoli slaw. While those ingredients cook together, get your ground beef and pork into a large bowl with all other ingredients. Get your hands out and start mixing and mushing that around.

 

 

Once the bacon is cooked through, the onions are slightly translucent, add them to the large bowl and incorporate that into mixture. I get out my cupcake pan and make a ball a little larger then a golf ball, but small then a lacrosse ball and put in pan. Once those are all done take the remaining bacon and slice into a couple inch slices. Place over the top of the mini balls and bake for 25-30 minutes.

 

 

Enjoy!!

Lemon Macaroons

So that 12 minutes AMRAP....frick man. My lungs were burning, I had congestion afterwards. Scott said that means I got a good workout. Haha. I felt like I couldn't move. But being the AWESOME girlfriend that I am, I gave him a back massage with this new lavender massage oil I got. Lucky duck. It smelled so good. Lavender like instantly puts you in a relaxed state. MMM... I love it.

So day four of the challenge, feeling good, feeling mentally strong! Not craving any fruit or nuts yet. Even though when I was making chocolate banana bread the other day I took a bite. But it was paleo so that's not a cheat necessarily. A cheat on my extra criteria put upon myself. But not a cheat in the paleo world. Boom! Validated.

This weekend I get to have a sleepover with the kiddos. I am excited! Not sure what we are going to do yet, but it will be fun. And Scott and my Dad are going hunting. Wish them luck! I want a buck! Look at me, a rhyming machine.

Rogue took a dump in the house today, I know, what a surprise right? Geez, he's killing me! We went outside and went potty then he comes inside and goes again. Lame.

Cutest brothers

Our house smells like a Mexican fiesta right now and I love it. I am making the crock pot enchiladas for dinner tonight so Scott doesn't slice his finger off, I think he is finally healed from his last mishap. This morning I was cutting onions up and the knife went through my finger but no blood. Great right?!

Lemon Macaroons

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 1/2 cups dried shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup coconut flour
2 pinches of salt
1/2 cup raw honey
4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp lemon zest
1/4 cup coconut oil

Preheat oven to 300F

Mix all of your dry ingredients in a bowl, in a separate bowl mix wet ingredients. Now mix your wet into your dry ingredients until you get a flaky/dry/wet mixture. Get out your pizazz ice cream scooper (the small one with the spring) and make little balls and place on a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Bake for 5-7 minutes.

Remove let cool and enjoy!! :))

Yellow Chicken Curry

 

These dogs are loco. Scott and I try to relax in the evenings and watch a little TV or read books, and well, it hasn't been undisturbed since Rogue has came into our life. He is such a wild child! I am watching them play tug o war with a monkey right now. Rogue is starting to think he is tough, next thing you know Ollie puts him in check and Rogue takes off screaming to the corner or on the couch by me.

So if anyone is trying to get ahold of me and I am not responding via phone or text, my phone FINALLY took a poop. Its road kill. It wont charge so it's dead. Nuff said. Who needs a phone anyways?! So you can reach me through facebook or email :) Simplify my life for now? Sure why not.

Some cooking shows are so funny. Like awkward. Whatevs. I get to workout today. CrossFit GP has been on a AMRAP overload lately. Monday's was a 7 min AMRAP, guess what today's is? 12 minutes...and its going to be a LONG 12 minutes. Its....

3 Push Press(135/95) from the ground
5 lateral over the bar burpees
7 box jumps(24/20)

I'll pace myself on this one. You should too. Cause 12 minutes is going to feel like an eternity! I REALLY want to go for a bike ride on my road bike!! But it gets dark at 7:00pm now. Lame. That's when  I get off work on the days I don't workout. So maybe Sunday? Oh!! I got an idea, bike ride to the BBQ at our friends house Sunday?! Sounds like a grand idea.

His "sexy" face

So I am a curry whore. I love curry. Can't get enough of it. Scott, not so much. So I made this for lunch the other day so I could eat it all myself. Ha!

Yellow Chicken Curry

2 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp paprika
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, sliced
3 carrots, chopped
4 celery stalks, chopped
1 c. full-fat canned coconut milk
1 c. chicken broth

In your slow cooker put your chicken thighs and all other ingredients over the top. I checked mine a few times and gave it a little stir. Let cook for 4 hours on high or 5-6 on low. and Vwwwaaaahhhlllah! You have delicious curry! Enjoy! :)

Progenex Locha Mocha Protien Bites

 

I'm weighed, measured and ready to rock. And sore as shit. I woke up this morning and felt like I couldn't move my head. I thought I slept crazy (never happens) but then I realized a did a bunch of squat cleans yesterday. That'll do it. Man. Sore traps, and hammys.

I was so grumpy last night, its because I didn't eat any sugar or nuts all day. Codi detoxing from sugar = run, far, far away. I am sorry Scott, I ate a crabby patty and it took me a while to digest it. But I lovers you soooo much :))

So I have been wanting to experiment with some Progenex treats. I made these little balls of love and they are sooooo good! Especially fresh out of the oven when the chocolate is all gooey. MMM. What I would do for one right now. Thank goodness I ate 10 of them last week. Ha!
