Welcome to My Paleo Blog!!!

The Paleo Diet (also called the Primal Diet and other like terms) is a simple diet consisting of natural food that we were genetically engineered to eat. The term Paleo comes from the term Paleolithic, referring to the time of our ancestors when we ate based on what was available. Paleo in a nutshell is all about eating natural foods to help achieve optimal health and a healthy physique. The Paleo Diet includes lean meats and seafood, healthy fats (avocadoes, olives, coconut oil), non-starchy vegetables, and non-starchy fruits. The Paleo Diet omits everything else. That everything else includes grains, legumes, sugar and dairy. My goal for this blog is to provide tips on maintaining the Paleo Diet along with delicious paleo recipes.

About Me

My photo
Being fit for almost my entire life and spending most of it in the weight room and outside I decided to try something new in August 2010. It is called Crossfit! And boy has it changed me. I heart Crossfit and it will always be a BIG part of my life. I spend about 80% of my waking thoughts and actions on it because it has transformed my mind and body. I am also very passionate about nutrition, having studied and practiced it for over 10 years. Because of crossfit I have discovered a way to eat that has had an amazing impact on my life...and that is the Paleo Diet. I created this blog to help educate those about the paleo diet in hopes that I can help people make lifestyle changes one meal at a time!

Bumble berry crumble

I was nominated to bring dessert for our family Easter dinner! I modified a recipe I was given for cherry crumble to make bumble berry crumble. It was yummy and even the non-paleo'ers enjoyed it!

Preheat oven to 350F

Filling
Mix together 2lbs of frozen mixed berries and 2 tsp of xanthan gum in a 9x9 baking dish.

Crust
2 cups of almond meal
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
1/2 cup of coconut oil
1/4 cup agave nectar
1 tsp of vanilla extract

Mix the almond meal, cinnamon, nutmeg then add the coconut oil, agave nectar and vanilla. Blend well and spoon the mixture over the fruit. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
