My Dragons Talents

Now, for me, I live in a city kind of area so finding grass fed anything is kinda hard here. So I decided to do some research (its what I do everyday might as well keep it up right?) on finding some local grass fed beef. You know support the local ranchers!

A lot of the places I know of, are super far away and shipping would be super expensive to ship! So after some time I found this site, EatWild. They have a page where you can go to a google map where the have ‘tacks’ showing where there is a local grass fed farm near you! Check it out! Click on the link that says, “Click here to find a farm or ranch near you!”. It’s an awesome interactive map. I had no idea there were farms out here. The have different states you can check out also. This will help you out a lot when you want to try your first cut of grass fed steak. Trust me, ITS AWESOME. Thought Andrew would pass out when he had his first bite.

Yes people, it is 2012!

So I have decided that in the mornings I will go to the gym. Get the blood flowing so when I go to work I am awake. Of course, have that awesome protein shake before and after my workout to replenish myself. Take the car back to the house and shower. Then walk to work. It only takes like 10 minutes anyways. Get some good exercise and I will HAVE to bring a lunch because I won’t be able to drive anywhere. Oh yea. Then go home and cook. I am also starting to think maybe I should just cook everything on Wednesday or Thursday so I have meals for the rest of the week. Just put them in containers and microwave them. Saves me from other temptations.

I am so gonna buy an XBox 360 with Kinect. I got to play the ‘Fruit Ninja’ and some dancing game. OMG, you get really tired from playing that game. Gonna see how many calories I burn from playing. Should be fun for Andrew and I to burn some calories after work.

So from now on I will take pictures of whatever foods I eat. Why? Cause you are less likely to ‘cheat’ when you HAVE to take pictures of all your foods. It’s like a guilty feeling. So it should be interesting. Maybe make a video at the end of the year showing all the foods I ate.

Still working on some recipes! Always thinking. I do need to buy some more Paleo Books though. Andrew really loves almond butter and banana but it hard without the bread. So I am hoping to make a Almond bread loaf for him. It be better if I can make it out of coconut flour as it is cheaper than almond flour. Well have to experiment!

Today I will probably make the BBQ Stuffed Chicken Breast. I love it when I add the ham, asparagus and mushrooms. IT’S SO GOOD! I am debating about putting them on a rack this time. Cause when it cooks it ends up creating a puddle of chicken water. So I think I’ll try it on the rack this time. Only thing that sucks right now is asparagus is really expensive. At Safeway it’s like $5.49 for a bundle. Wow. Not sure that is worth it. I may start a page just to keep track of the fruit, vegetable and meat prices. I’ll check every week and get a average price of the product for the month. I am debating if I should include the sales price or not… will have to think about that.

I did some research and looked up when certain fruits, vegetables and some meats / fish are in season so I can plan a healthy but cheap meal. Another page that helps is Eat The Seasons. It’s updated weekly and can give you some recipe ideas.
