Days 8, 9 and 10. Wow I will have to rack my brain to remember the past few days! I will start with Monday.

Monday- Woke up in the morning and had two eggs. Today was finals week and my last week of grad school so it was a busy one! I brought some Laughing Giraffe Snacks and an apple to school. For Lunch I had leftover Lemonade- which was chicken salad and the curry cauliflower. Then after my exams I came home and ate some leftover Paleo Spaghetti. Then Matt and I went to CrossFit and a bunch of us went to Korean BBQ (yes, again). And it was delicious once again.







Tuesday- I woke up Tuesday feeling a little sick- so I had half a laughing giraffe snack. For lunch I tried out my Brian's Bowls order...and let me tell you, it was AWESOME! I had a chicken dish. At first, I will admit, it looked gross frozen. But after throwing it in the microwave for 5 mins it turned out looking really delicious. For a snack I had some plantain chips and Whole Foods guacamole.  For dinner on Tuesday I made Matt's favorite Paleo dish- Turkey and Cabbage. Here is the recipe!



I like to add some salt, pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, basil & cayenne. Then once the turkey is browned add a can of diced tomatoes and stir. Take this mixture and cover it with some foil then stick it in the microwave or oven to keep it warm.

Next- get some of that grass fed butter! (by the way if you are doing this challenge to lose weight I would not add the butter or the bacon, although with Paleo you NEED some fat in your diet to make up for the carbs). So grab that butter and cook some bacon! I used about 4 pieces cut in half.
After cooking the bacon remove the bacon and set it to the side to let it cool. DO NOT DRAIN the BACON BUTTER MIX! Dice an onion and throw it in the pan with the leftover bacon fat and butter. Saute the onions for about 3 minutes then remove some of them and put them on top of the turkey mix. Next grab your cabbage and put in handfuls with the onions and continue sauteing until you have cooked all the cabbage and the onions are soft. I like to add a little pepper and a tiny bit of honey or maple syrup to the cabbage- it helps take away some of the bitterness. I will also add a little more butter to the cabbage/onion mix. After the bacon has cooled- cut it into bite sized pieces and add the bacon to the cabbage/onion mix.

 

Now we are onto Wednesday. Wednesday was my final day of grad school so I cheated a little with some champagne and wine. I had another laughing giraffe snack for breakfast then a large brunch at a place in Malibu called Marmalade Cafe. I had eggs and a sausage patty with slice tomatoes instead of potatoes and toast.
