Day 14: Paleo Fajitas Yum!

Breakfast: This morning we made Karina's Sausage Hash (Everyday Paleo, 90). It is such an easy recipe for a different type of meal. It is a little sweet but has a protein to balance it. The only ingredients are ground pork sausage, yams or sweet potatoes, some coconut oil and cinnamon. It is so easy to make. If you don't like pork sausage I am sure that you can substitute another meat. We also made some Egg Cupcakes (Everyday Paleo, 185). The recipe makes 18-20 cupcakes and we went through almost ten quickly this morning. Alexis and AJ each had 3. They are a quick and easy meal to take on the go and you can pretty much put whatever you want in them. We put in eggs, bacon, zucchini, red leaf lettuce (we ran out of spinach), and roasted red and yellow peppers.

After breakfast we hit up Costco, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's to get all of our supplies for the week. It was a bit pricey, but will calm down after the challenge is over. The kids don't love our grocery trips, but they do love all the samples. I even had some fruit samples at Costco today.

Lunch: By the time we got home it was already lunch time. We made our "go-to" turkey stir fry with ground turkey, frozen carrots and frozen asparagus. We threw some garlic, pepper and other spices in to make it interesting. So easy!

AJ and I even got to have some alone time today. We went to a store that has a play area. It was so nice to spend time with him. He is getting so big so quickly! And I'm sure Scott enjoyed the time with his girls.

Dinner: By the time we got home from our "date" it was time for dinner. We made Paleo fajitas. Scott used chicken breast, chile powder, cumin, garlic powder, water, olive oil, frozen peppers and onions. We also had some chopped tomatoes and onions to put on and some homemade guacamole. The kids had regular store-bought corn tortillas and I had some homemade almond flour tortillas that were pretty tasty. Overall a great meal. AJ was a huge fan and Alexis did pretty well with them. I found the tortilla recipe from a website called Real Grubbin.
