Post work out meal

After my kettlebell class I boiled some eggs to get some protein had 3 eggs and one avocado. Avocado has so much fiber so for people who think that bread=fiber.... There are lots of other options avocado being one of the best. It is a superfood! Has lots of heathy fats and lots of other beneficial nutrition.
Threw in some garlics in olive oil in there too and some seeds just to get a little crunchiness:)
As a snack while watching our show I had shredded coconut! High in heathy fats too:)

Forgot to take a Picture of our dinner today, but we had salmon with carrots broccoli and onions. All with butter ;) delicious butter:)

Hunt and gather... Mission eggs!

Well today as a Sunday work out Guðrún and I walked from Oppdal to the farm that sells fresh eggs here in Oppdal. It's in Gamlekongevei. It is a good walk but it company it goes easy. And we got picked up as walking home with a flat of eggs each is a bit hard. Planning some fun stuff for the spring/summer :D

Getting lots of questions from people now about food and other diet stuff. It is cool to know that people are following my blog and liking what they read.

I'm meeting new people because of it and picking up old friendships and keeping good ones.
Paleo is benefitting in lots of ways I guess :)
Workouts of the week are booked
Kettlebell tomorrow
Foamroller and TRX on Tuesday
Pilates and jiu-jitzu on Wednesday
Styrkesirkel on Friday

Also picked up a trampoline we got for free today! Looking forward to putting it up in the spring

Tomorrow is a new week! Start it happy!


Basa and veggies

Tonight Jonas decided he wanted fish instead of turkey.
So made it with all kinds of vegetables, carrots, bamboo, onions, broccoli, spinach, peppers and cabbage. Mixed in coconut milk and curry!
Tastes so good:)

My little caveman!

Jonas which at times can be a difficult eater. Not in what he eats, he will eat pretty much anything, but he is very slow at eating and unfocused when he eats.
I gave him a chicken drumstick right off the chicken and he went thru that thing like it was a piece of candy.

Peperonata and chicken:)

When I lived in Italy we often has peperonata, peppers with onions, garlic and zucchini I also added some broccoli.
Bought a whole chicken today at Spar as they are on sale now;) buying on sale is smart! One is in the freezer too;)

Awesome salad wraps :)

tirsdag 8. januar 2013

Chicken!

Got a whole chicken and just made some peppers and onions with olive oil. Bit of salad on the side. Quick, cheap and easy
Not every night we feel like cooking big meals in a busy day.

I had a morning work out class before work today, I really love working out in the morning, gives me more energy and evenings off.
Eric took Jonas to the pool today. And he is still doing all his exercises.
Jonas is doing great in the pool :D


Cheap and easy

So easy to go downstairs to the deli and get some salmon. 30kr and some iceberg 7kr. That's about 7$ that's a cheap and healthy lunch. Who says healthy eating is expensive?

mandag 7. januar 2013

Turkey!

Tonight I got back home a bit late from work.
So when that happens its nice to have some left overs in the freezer. We had some turkey left overs from New Years so I made that with some Franks and had some veggies on the side. Avocado, tomatoes, garlic and some lettuce. Avocados are a must in my diet. It is very high in fats and fiber.


Buy of the day.

A must in my house the past few months. Magnesium to relax muscles and sleep better.
Coconut oil for my morning coffee:)

søndag 6. januar 2013

My kid won't eat that.

We were gonna have burgers in salad but some technical difficulty made it just into ground meat with veggies;)
Turned out just fine.
We had finger food night and Jonas seems to like eating with his hands way better than cutlery. He is a slooooow eater . But the last 3 times we have had food we can eat with our hands he will eat twice as fast and double the amount.
He even ate raw zucchini.
I also believe that kids will eat what ever if they don't have the option of anything else.
Of course Jonas won't eat everything. No tomatoes or mushrooms are two examples. But when he one day says mommy I don't eat carrots( a thing I know he likes) he does not get the option of having something else.
He may leave them on his plate, but I know that will eat the rest on his plate and he will most likely eat the carrots next time they get served.
Kids will not starve them selfs.

We had both beef and chicken meat. I ate two small wraps with beef.
Back to meat land maybe....
And of course I ate lots of the chicken one. My tummy feels a bit funny, could just be my imagination tho. Time will tell, but one thing is for sure it won't kill me;)


And coming home to this:)

Coming home to my two awesome boys making us food. Eggs and left over veggies from last night:)
Thank you my loves.
