Confession....

I've been on a gradual downhill decline as far as Paleo goes since around the holidays. I would say I've been eating Paleo 70% of the time.  It's time to bring it back up to 90%. The reason to do another 30 day challenge is that it holds me accountable to think about what I'm eating and to get back in the groove that I have lost. Also, with the challenge I'm committed to going to CrossFit at LEAST 4 times a week. Confession #2 I had also been slacking on CrossFit, only going on average 2-3 times a week. Last week I only went once....you can say it....I know...LAZY!!!

Please join me in the challenge and let me know how it is going! Remember its not a diet...its a lifestyle change. Here's a great PDF I found online that United Barbell Inc. put together for more information on the challenge.

Banana Waffles.....

nom nom nom... Good news! You can still have waffles!!!!!! You can make 100% Paleo waffles by making it from scratch using Almond flour and Coconut flour but I often use Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix its gluten and wheat free. Matt often requests Banana Pancakes on the weekend and so this past Sunday I thought I would try Banana Waffles. Here's how you do it...so easy peasy...


Waffles:

Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sprinkle of cinnamon

Follow instructions for waffles on Pamela's Mix. I add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and sprinkle some cinnamon to it and mix until combined. Next, the mix is ready for the waffle maker and set waffles aside.

Banana Topping:

2 Banana's
Sprinkle of Cinnamon
2 teaspoon natural honey or Agave Nectar


Slice banana's and put in microwavable bowl. Then, pop it in the microwave for about a minute or until the banana's are warm and mushy. Next mix up the banana, sprinkle in some cinnamon, add honey/agave and mix till all combined. Now your ready to grab a waffle and add banana topping to it and enjoy!
