Friday Favorites: Paleo Recipes and Blogs

It's Friday and I am linking up with Andrea at Momfessionals for Friday Favorites.

This week I am sharing my favorite Paleo recipes and blogger that I have find so far on my 11 day journey.

I'm actually pretty proud that I have done this fort 11 days (without a single "cheat") and I even made it through that time of the month when my hormones are crazy! Not a single M&M! It's amazing!

By far my favorite recipe has been this one for Spicy Tuna Cakes! Matt said is was on snazzy restaurant level. Two thumbs up. The sweet potatoes make this recipe just amazing.

Also, these pancakes cured my craving for Ihop! I actually had these for three days (I would say the first day was the best, but still they were good). They tasted like cake...yummm...cake.

I get most of my recipes from Pinterest. I just search Paleo. I have found one blog that I love more than any other and that is Nom Nom Paleo.

Everything I have tried from her site has been great! 

Matt already requested this recipe for Super Bowel Sunday.

I've become kind of obsessed with the Paleo thing, but I feel great. Next week I am going to start adding in some serious exercise since I've got the food thing pretty much down. 

I keep thinking about what Lysa Terkeurst said in her book Made to Crave. Don't say "I can't eat that", say "I don't eat that." 

Well, I don't eat M&M's. 

Oh man - that's big for me! 

Menu Plan Monday

So, here it is day 7 of what was my 21 day detox, but is now day 7 of my Paleo diet (click here to see my post Friday about what Paleo is). Things are going GREAT!

I thought I'd start out with telling you what we eat for breakfast (we meaning Matt and I).

Our go-to breakfast during the week are these Omelet Muffins. I made 24 last week then you just toss them in the microwave for a couple of minutes. I pair mine with fruit or fruit and turkey bacon.

There are many different recipes for these. I'd this one and add what ever you want.

Then, on Saturday, when there is a bit more time we eat Paleo Pancakes. These were yummy!

Now on to this week.

*Now if you happen to be following along closely, you will see I have one repeat from last week. We had an event last night that bumped a dish to Monday night. Don't worry, I took my own food and it all went great!

Friday Favorites: Lisa Leonard and Paleo

Happy Friday. I am, again today, linking up with Momfessionals to show you some of my favorite things from this week.

My parents were in town last week and on Saturday I got my mom all to myself. We filled the day with junking (antiquing) because it is so our love language. Then we finished the day off at my new favorite place in the North West Houston Area - The Little Eclectic House. I snagged a couple of pictures off their Facebook page to show y'all the inside because as usual I didn't take my camera with me!

I'm telling y'all I could live in this place. Every single room spoke to me. It's a perfect balance of antiques & boutique with a wonderful vintage vibe happening. And I am happy to say that it was not as expensive as I originally thought - therefore it is my FAVORITE place, but probably not the best place for my littles. I have been following them on Facebook since I heard the pour candles in to vintage tins and in pyrex!

I adore these and they are so on my wish list if anyone needs to buy me anything.

Anyway, I found this awesome necklace by one of my favorite people, Lisa Leonard, there.

I am a huge fan of Lisa's, but I had never seen this design before. I am thinking this is part of her retail line. It's perfect for layering and looks good with a t-shirt. I love it! 

If you are in the North West Houston area I strongly suggest you visit the Little Eclectic House.

*yes, I'm fully aware that I am being all shady and not saying the actual name of the town they are in. 

On Monday most of my local friends (myself included) started a 21-day Detox where we cut out sugar, dairy and grains - along with other things. This has kind of morphed in me starting a paleo diet. Here's a crash course. 

It's been great. I love the recipes I've been able to find. I even shared the link to them on my Menu Plan Monday Post.  And I've been annoying everyone on Facebook and Instagram with pictures of my food:

I do have to admit that today I am having the worst craving for a big 'ole plate of pancakes! I found a Paleo recipe for pancakes that will be on my blog Monday because I am trying them tomorrow!

And last, but never least, look what arrived in my mail box yesterday!

I really, really wish I could start reading it right now, but I am in the middle of Kasey VanNorman's book, Raw Faith, but this one is next inline. I love Sophie and I adored her last book. You should go visit her blog if you don't "know" her yet: http://boomama.net/

So, there you have it! I hope you have a wonderfully blessed weekend!
