We are enjoying a very low-key, do nothing kind of weekend. It’s been nice. I did get my shopping done today, so I’ve got our menu planned as follows: Sunday — Paleo Texas Chili – modified slightly to work with with what we have on hand. Monday — Chicken Zoodle Soup I may split my batch...
Last Friday, I participated in a one night team competition with my husband, Mike. It was the second annual “Battle for the Capital“, hosted by District Crossfit. We didn’t attend this event last year so I wasn’t sure what to expect — but we were both looking for to a nice date night, Crossfit-style ....
What a weeekend! Friday eve, Mike & I competed together in the “Battle for the Capital” – a local Crossfit event held at District Crossfit. I plan to write it up soon. Also, Valentine’s Day is this Thursday! We aren’t super sentimental, but I do like to cook a nice meal for...

Here’s this week’s paleo/primal menu. Monday — Paleo Onion Soup Burgers w/Sauteed Mushrooms and Sweet Potato Fries Tuesday —...
After church on Sunday, I was craving breakfast food and looking to try something new. We often eat out after church with my dad and my brother and his family, but on this day, it was just me and the kids. After doing a little searching on UrbanSpoon (love that app!), I...
Well, it was disappointing to see the Redskins go out like that, but I was proud of the fight they fought. I just hope RGIII is not too badly hurt and can recover this offseason. Here’s my menu for the week: Monday — Jalapeno Honey Chicken Thighs + Steamed Artichoke Tuesday — Paleo...
