How is everyone enjoying their holiday season? 15 Days until christmas and we are on the 3rd day of Hanukkah (Chanukah?). Its fun and festive, but can also be a stressful time of year. Not only are we eating lots of junk, we are off of our typical schedules attending gatherings on random days of the week. Be smart, make the best choices you can. Enjoy yourself, but don't over indulge!
Now, lets talk New Years resolutions! For those thinking of New Years resolutions, start now! Why wait? Be sure to make attainable resolutions that you will stick with and be encouraged to stick with.
In the next few weeks, Joe and I are going to give the Zone a shot. I will be sticking to paleo, Joe will be mainly paleo but still including dairy. It will be interesting… I honestly never thought about measuring my food! But we have been training really hard for the upcoming CrossFit open (March 7th) and want to be the best we can be and diet goes a long way! So, in the future when I post some recipes, ill try to include some Zone info for those of you who are curious!
For a recipe today, I chose some stuffed peppers. They are easy to make, freeze very well, and you can make a ton of them! Hopefully, it can help take some of the stress off a busy schedule. My mom made these growing up, they were my favorite meal! She does put rice in them, but I just left that out. (But anyone wanting to add extra carbs, mix cooked white rice with the meat and walla!)
