1 Day until Paleo Challenge!!

CFX is holding a 45-day Paleo Challenge that begins Monday.  Jon has decided he will join me for this challenge and go Paleo for the entire 45 days!!  I am beyond excited right now, because last time it was super hard doing it by myself. For those of you who do not know what I am talking about, Paleo is a lifestyle of eating.  Some people call it the "Caveman Diet"; however it is a lifestyle change instead of what you think a diet would be.  Our food will consist of fruits, vegetables, meats (including seafood), nuts/seeds, and healthy fats.  It will NOT consist of sugars, processed foods, grains, dairy (but we can have eggs), and anything else you can think of that is processed.  The prospect of switching over to this healthy lifestyle is very intimidating for many people because they don't know where to even start.  So....as we go along I will be posting weekly menus and information about where my recipes come from so that you may try them on your own!  There are tremendous health benefits to going Paleo, and I'm so proud of my husband for giving this a go.  I promised him there would be plenty of food around for him to munch on as long as he stuck to it :).

I will be spending most of tomorrow cooking several meals that we can freeze for the week, as well as snacks and breakfast items.  Here is what our weekly menu will consist of, and every bit of it is Paleo!:

Sunday
- Breakfast:  Egg Muffins, apple slices
- Lunch:  Tuna salad wraps
- Dinner:  Chicken Enchiladas

Monday
- Breakfast: Egg Muffins, fruit
- Lunch: Leftover chicken enchiladas
- Dinner: Hamburger patties and mashed cauliflower

Tuesday
- Breakfast: Smoothies, hard boiled eggs
- Lunch: Leftover hamburger patties and mashed cauliflower
- Dinner: Tacos

Wednesday
- Breakfast: Smoothies, hard boiled eggs
- Lunch: Leftover tacos
- Dinner: Turkeyloaf, roasted broccoli

Thursday
- Breakfast: Egg Muffins, fruit
- Lunch: Leftover turkeyloaf, kale chips
- Dinner: Grilled Chicken, roasted broccoli or other veggie

Friday
- Breakfast: Morning Glory Muffins
- Lunch: Leftover grilled chicken, or tuna salad
- Dinner: Salmon and steamed veggies

Saturday
- Breakfast: Smoothies, hard boiled eggs
- Lunch: Hamburger patties, kale chips
- Dinner: Shrimp Skillet

As you can see, these are mostly common items that you would make all the time, right?  Well....kinda.  Items that would normally consist of a tortilla will now be homemade coconut tortillas. There will be no cheese on the tacos, instead they will be dressed up with salsa and sauteed veggies that will make the taste phenomenal.  Smoothies will have coconut milk and frozen fruit, no sugar or "fluff". Our bodies are going to learn what it is like to eat CLEAN, and we're pretty excited!  Now you are probably wondering what little miss Kaylee will be eating.  Um....that is yet to be determined.  This little 3-year old is quite a picky eater and I'm trying to fix it but it is a slow process.  We will still have foods around she is used to but hopefully she will begin to try new things.
