I cook and eat breakfast when the kids eat in the morning even though I am not necessarily hungry. I have decided that from Wednesday I'm going to wait until I'm hungry, however long that takes.
I have been eating breakfast later the usual this week as dh is off work and I'm getting lie-ins
But I am darn hungry by 8.30/9am, my "normal" breakfast time is 7.30 and then I exercise at 9.30am.
You might find this I.F article interesting, Nia Shanks is awesome re weight-training anyway so a great site to have a read of.

I love cookbooks too - shame all the paleo ones are so expensive
I only have Everyday Paleo on the kindle - any of hers that have been big hits? I love Sarah, have you listened to all the podcasts, they are fab.
I am going to try the mayo and the "best ever chicken" from well fed website tomorrow, trial run for a pot luck dinner I have to go to next week (yargh-socialising during W30 - nightmare!)
How about a stewy soup for lunch in work?0 -

Sarah's red curry beef stew was yummy. I just created a good recipe tonight. I had portobello mushrooms (flat mushrooms) and had about 200g of the ground beef hotpot mix from well fed. I sauteed 2 cloves of garlic, 1/2 an onion. Then I threw in a bag of spinach from Tesco, the salad size bag. I put the lid on the pan for a few minutes until it wilted. Then I threw in the precooked ground beef and 2 or 3 eggs. I think they might have been duck eggs - they were from a friend of mine. I added some dried oregano, parsley and a chili flakes. Then I stuffed the mixture into 4 mushrooms and baked the whole thing at 200 for about 25 minutes. I made up the Creamy Italian dressing from Well Fed and ate it with it. YUM. And there are two left for lunch tomorrow.
I also want to try Sarah's Shrimp flying saucers. Tuna or salmon salads in a cucumber or avocado will be good for work lunch as well.0 -

Welcome. I really should try to cook more from the cookbooks I have before I buy Sarah's new one and It Starts With Food. LOL
I made mayo this morning while i was waiting for my omelette to set. I had it with my lunch :-) it was yummy. I need to figure out how to add garlic to it so that the flavour infuses the whole thing.
Thanks, LoTwan.
The Clothes Make the Girl website has some great ideas for using the mayo. I added garlic when I made her salad dressing just now. I didn't even know Sarah was coming out with a new one! But since it doesn't come out til September, you have time to save. It Starts with Food is the one I am waiting for at the moment. I'll be home in the US in October, so I can pick up Sarah's then. 0 -

I am on Sarah's Lifestyle & Fitness site & she posted one of the recipes from the new books recently. It's BBQ sauce which does nothing for me so I didn't make it.
I haven't had it confirmed but Melissa H asked me for permission to use some of my testimonial in ISWF. I'm very excited to see it.0 -

It's great. My attempt at improving my fitness was undirected & going nowhere. Now I know what I'm doing & why I'm doing it & Jason is there to input or help out when I need it. It's got a great community too :-)0 -

Got my hands on a pile of beef bones yesterday, boiled them up for 8 hours and just enjoying a cup of vege soup made with the stock. Totally delicious! Well pleased with meself:)
When you hear all the trouble the folks in the USA have in getting grassfed beef/bones/butter etc (paleo podcast addict!) and we can so easily have it anytime for reasonable prices...we're so lucky:) The butcher didn't batter an eyelid when I asked him if he was sure the meat was grassfed (which is nearly a stupid question in this country) and was only too happy to get rid of a few bones out of his way too!
This is a pet topic of mine. Winter beef in Ireland is grain finished, they are pastured but they are fattened with grain before they are sent to the factory. Summer beef is , for the most part, grass finished. All mainstream Irish lamb is grain finished. The moral of the story? Buy a 1/4 cow in the summer & put it in a chest freezer.
My butcher is a farmer, slaughterman & butcher and sells his own beef for the most part. I have talked to him at length about this 0 -

I know what you mean, it's seasonal, but that's where silage comes in! For any farmer friends I know, the silage season is a full on panic trying to get all the grass cut and rolled while the weather is fine. So it's always good to ask if the farmer keeps silage for the winter months.
I agree it's just a bit to early now for lamb and I plan on waiting a couple more weeks for it.
I wish I had a chest freezer let alone a 1/4 cow but some day...:)0 -

I had a whole roast duck tonight - verdict, too much effort for not enough meat. I used to get the silverhill prepared ones but both varities I've seen have suagr in the glaze so I'd thought I'd do one myself.. feck all meat. The roasted cabbage was fab though.
I did have a hit with this the other day though
