Many apologies for the lack of postings on my behalf. Some fun tidbits from the past week:
More Butternut Squash Soup (all kinds of this....AWESOME!)
Lots of fun with Radicchio - so easy to whip together a delicious slaw with apple cider vinegar, walnuts, & sweet onion. Partnered with Mini Paleo Meatloaves topped with Caveman BBQ sauce.
Banana Blueberry Pancakes
Cauliflower mash solo...topped with freshly cracked black pepper and just a dab of grass fed butter.
Tuna steak with sesame balsamic and cauliflower mash 
Oh....and I can't forget to post the pic from my curried meatballs from a couple weeks back. These were fabulous with spaghetti squash.
After being horribly haunted by a Pumpkin Spice Latte in my nightly dreams, I decided to figure out how to enjoy a non-coffee/tea hot beverage, without being miserable. I came across a decent recipe for Paleo Hot Chocolate, that didn't use any honey/agave to sweeten it...basically, it's a concoction involving banana, coconut milk, almond milk, and cocoa powder. I tossed it all in the Ninja to get it as smooth as possible...then used my handy-dandy steamer from my espresso machine (thanks mom, for sending it up here!), to create a chocolaty, frothy treat! For what it is....it's pretty fab! :) Not sure I'd take it over a hot mug of Angelina's hot chocolate...but it'll do for now ;)
Other noticeable changes:
Just continued "difficulties" in getting my heart rate up. Even walks to work have me running at an even lower heart rate than pre-Paleo...which technically means less calories burned. But...I figure since it is the fat calories that are being burned as the primary energy source...it's all good :) Marathon training has been coming along well with the heart rate training. 10 easy miles twice so far...looking pretty good!
