I have had a really busy past couple of weeks, and I needed a way to make a quick, simple and fast meal that I could also make lots of leftovers! What's a better idea than meatballs? So I whipped up a paleo version for you all that I hope you enjoy. These are super versatile, as well. Here is my recipe for one of my favorite foods:

I have some MORE pumpkin recipes for you all, and this time I created a Pumpkin Omelette in my kitchen! Does it sound strange to you? Well one bite of this sweet, fluffy, pumpkin flavored omelette will convert you non-believers in addicts, I promise! It is like having dessert for breakfast, only with about 40g of protein and no added sugar. Ordinary eggs are still my favorite, but I needed a way to excite my taste buds again. So treat yourself to something delicious and in get in the Fall spirit.
This morning I could not bring myself to make eggs for breakfast again. I was not really that hungry and in a bit of a hurry to get to class at 9 AM. I searched my fridge for ingredients and saw I had some leftover pumpkin so I whipped up a shake. This ended up being one of the most delicious shakes I have ever made, with the perfect amount of pumpkin flavor. Continuing with the theme of pumpkin, here is the recipe for my Pumpkin Protein Shake.
Nothing says Fall like pumpkin flavored foods do! Today I was in the mood for some pumpkin, so I came up with an easy recipe to satisfy my craving that is high in protein, delicious, and still healthy! Here is my pumpkin yogurt dip recipe!
So I am a HUGE advocate of super fast and simple lunches. After a long day of school, commuting, homework, cleaning, reading, blogging, cooking, and most importantly lifting, the last thing I want to do is prepare my lunch for tomorrow. I came across this recipe such a while back I forget exactly where I found my initial inspiration to make a spin-off of my own, but I have to share this with you all. It is delicious, FILLING, and packed with protein and healthy fats! I love avocado and salmon, and the combination makes my taste buds sing.
Kendrick Farris, 2x USA Olympic Weightlifter, says it best with his phrase "Pancakes for PRs." Someone who is strict whole30 Paleo will shake their finger at me and say "you can't have paleo pancakes, or paleo cookies or muffins, or anything else delicious!" To them I say go lift more heavy objects and eat some pancakes. In my last post about Protein Powder I mentioned a wonderful way to use protein powder is while making pancakes. For me, this is a great weekend brunch meal that I like to have 2 hours before or right after a heavy lifting session. There are MANY methods to make protein pancakes. In this post, I will give you some options for constructing this delectable meal, from very paleo to 80/20 paleo, and hope you can find one that suits your dietary needs. Paleo Pancakes, Protein Powder Optional.I know some of you don't use whey protein, so here is a simple Paleo Pancake recipe using bananas, almond butter, and eggs! Delicious and free of grains and dairy!

In this part of my Supplement Series posts I will talk all about protein powder. Specifically the benefits of whey protein, using protein powder if you are Paleo, when you should use it, brands of protein powder I recommend, and some recipes to incorporate protein powder into. Lets get started! When I was a kid, Dunkaroos were one of my favorite junk foods. My parents rarely bought them for me so they were a special treat and to this day I still think about how delicious that funfetti frosting was. Luckily, I have found a way to relive my childhood snack time with a healthier version of Dunkaroos that is super high in protein & fiber, low in fat, and great as a super fast post workout meal!
