Paleo apple crumble

Uhhhh I’m so annoyed at myself! I accidentally deleted some photos I had taken when I had made some slow cooker recipes! I was going through the camera trying to make more space and well I ended up accidentally deleting photos I shouldn’t have! I was cursing myself afterwards and I usually save everything to my laptop first but this time of course I didn’t do that!

Anyway I’ll get over it….. eventually.

Onto something more positive. It’s apple season here in Michigan and last weekend husband bought some apples from the Farmers Market and a couple of them were still sitting in the fridge waiting to be used so I decided to make some apple crumble and be done with them. I’m not a big baker, I’ll do it every now and then, although I wouldn’t exactly call this recipe baking since it’s only a few ingredients thrown together but the end result was AMAZING and even passed husband’s test of approval 😉

Sweet Potato Soup with Fire Roasted Red Pepper Sausage

Bowl of sweet potato and sausage soup

Yesterday proved to be a bit of a challenge for me. I had to work at a Julia Child themed event at work and well let’s just say the menu was filled with stuff that I couldn’t touch. Funnily enough a lot of it was also laden with sugar so you would think I wouldn’t think anything of it, let alone all the dairy and grains involved.

I think my downfall was the fact that I hadn’t eaten a proper lunch before going so I was EXTREMELY hungry by the end of the class. At one point one of the other girls asked me if I wanted to try something out and I politely declined, I thought that would be it but she asked me why I wasn’t eating anything, I told her that I’m currently doing this program called Whole30 and I’m not able to eat any sugar, dairy, grains or legumes.

She looked at me with a puzzled look and then said “oh so you’re on the Paleo diet?” …… uhhh yeh like I’ve said here before I don’t like the use of the word diet and I wouldn’t call going Paleo a ‘diet’ since it’s not something people do (well the people I know) just for a certain period of time. I just looked at her and said “yeh something like that.” I was too hungry and tired to get into details with her so I just left it.

Luckily I had dinner waiting for me when I got back home. I had whipped up a quick sweet potato and sausage soup before heading to work and couldn’t wait to get home and EAT! [Read more…]
