Paleo Banana Pancakes (Juli Smolen)

Posted by Shannon | Posted in Nutrition Information | Posted on 13-04-2010

Here is a recipe for Paleo Banana Pancakes
1 banana
2 eggs
Salt, cinnamon, vanilla
1/2 t Baking powder
1 T butter or olive oil spray

1-Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat.
2-Mash banana and add 1 egg. Stir together until it looks like a lumpy batter. Add salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and baking powder.
3-Separate white and yolk of second egg. Reserve yolk for some other yummy purpose. Beat whites to a stiff peak.
4-Melt 1 T butter in pan.
5-Fold about 1/2-2/3 of the whites into the batter.
6-Pour batter into pan and cook until edges seem dry and tiny bubbles start to appear on top. Bottom should be golden. Flip pancakes and cook for another minute or two until cakes are firm.

Top with whatever you like! I used almond butter.

Banana Chocolate Cake (Paleo)

Posted by Shannon | Posted in Nutrition Information | Posted on 13-04-2010

Ingredients:

1/4 cup oil (I used unsweetened applesauce instead)
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs (I used 3 egg whites)
1 cup almond meal
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3 bananas, mashed

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix oil, honey and eggs in large bowl until light and fluffy.  Add almond meal, cocoa powder and bananas, mix well.
Line a cake tin with baking paper and poor in banana mixture.
Bake for 50-60 minutes.

I believe I only baked cake for about 25 minutes, so just watch the cake, depending on your oven.

I stored the cake in the fridge and it has kept for a very long time.  Good served with fruit and/or a little almond butter or just plain.

Juli says…Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs

Posted by fakc | Posted in Nutrition Information | Posted on 24-03-2010

Ingredients:

1 Spaghetti squash
1 Jar marinara/tomato sauce (look for low sodium and no sugar content–we like the Costco brand or Classico)
1 Package ground turkey
Spices galore (seriously folks, only your imagination can limit you)

Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Cut your spaghetti squash in half, scrape the seeds out and lay both halves in a cookie sheet or pyrex dish with approximately 1/2″ water in it. Bake squash for 45 minutes, flipping it halfway. When the squash is done, scrape it into a bowl and marvel at it’s fun, craziness–save for later. Meanwhile, mix a bunch of fun spices into your ground turkey meat. Think pepper, italian seasoning, onion, or red pepper flakes to name a few. Measure out 1.5 oz, make into meatballs and place on baking sheet. Bake meatballs approx 20 min (throw them in when your squash is about halfway done).

Empty your marinara in a saucepan to heat through, and spice it up with some fresh garlic, oregano, basil, or thyme. Doctor it up. When your meatballs are done, throw them into the marinara and let simmer. Alright people! Now you are ready to serve this up.

Here is your measurements if zoning:
1 cup spaghetti squash = 1 C
3 1.5 oz turkey meatball = 3 P
1 cup marinara = 2 C

To make sure that you get a complete meal, either add some fats by tossing some olive oil into your squash (1 teaspoon = 3 F) or have them elsewhere like with your dessert!

MMMMMMMMM……Belissimo!

A 1% state of dehydration will negatively impact your performance by as much as 10-12%.  At 1% dehydration you may not even know you are dehydrated.  A person should be getting at least half their body weight in ounces of water per day.  This does not include training during that day.  For every hour you exercise (Crossfit, Cardio, Weight Training) you need to add an additional 16-20 oz to that total.  Not only will staying hydrated help cleanse and flush your system but it will also help with mucle flexibility and movement.
