Back on the Paleo wagon :)

Friday I discussed with my doctor (for baby #2) that I was needing something to limit food intake, and still be plenty healthy & full for the peanut. She was not concerned however I am because all the pounds we put on we must get off eventually and well I don't like the way extra pounds look or how they make me feel. We decided upon lean meats and high fiber... So back onto the Paleo/Gluten free path...

truth be told I should be doing this anyway since I have Crohn's disease and processed foods and wheat cause inflammation.. so here are some recipes I made this week:



Coconut Pancakes:http://paleogrubs.com/paleo-diet-recipes

Not a huge fan just yet, but it was the first time I made them, and I ate them , so.. :)



Spaghetti Squash and Italian meatballs:

I also made extra and froze them so I have a quick lunch or two (if I choose) throughout the week!


Sweet potato buns:

I made these to go with my smoked burgers and smoked pork (pulled pork sliders)

both should be YUM!


This afternoon I hope to make homemade fruit roll-ups, if I can get the energy.. the baby has been draining me of any energy...



I hope you can try some of these recipes :)!
