and the first recipe goes to...

EGGS!!! Something I eat everyday. Many different variations, for me it's scrambled all day, everyday. People often ask me, so what DO you eat? Like everyday meals. This is a very normal breakfast for me, super simple, very delicious and definitely filling! 

Ingredients:

- 3 eggs

- 1 t coconut oil

- 1/2 cup Pre-Cooked Turkey Sausage 

- 1/2 an avocado 

- 1/2 a banana

- salt and pepper to taste 

Directions: 

Super simple! Add coconut oil to a skillet over medium heat. Swirl around until completely covered. Add sausage, it's already cooked so you are just heating it up. Beat eggs in a separate bowl with a whisk. Add eggs over sausage and scramble. While thats cooking slice avocado and banana. All everything to your plate and enjoy! Super easy and very filling. 

What are some of your favorite breakfast items?

Paleo Breakdown...

Here is my breakdown for what works for me for Paleo. The lifestyle is all about what works for you. Some people are 100% Paleo and some are 80/20, some even 50/50. It's all about finding what works for you and what you will stick to! We don't use the term lifestyle lightly, it's NOT a diet. It's NOT a short term thing. It a lifestyle change, so focus on what you CAN eat and not what you can't.

The following is a list of the most common foods I eat, don't forget they vary for everyone:

Proteins:
- eggs
- chicken
- beef
- fish
- pork
- limited bacon
- limited sausage

Veggies:
- broccoli
- green beans
- asparagus
- sweet potatoes

Fruits:
- strawberries
- grapes
- bananas
- apples
- peaches
- cherries
- raisins

Fats:
- avocado
- cashews
- almonds
- honey

Randoms:
- almond flour/meal
- coconut milk
- coconut butter
- coconut oil

You will see ingredients in my recipes that might not be listed here, just ask me about them! These are just staples for me.

What are some of your staples?

Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Paleo Princess blog. I've blogged before in the past, but I'm looking forward to a place I can share my fun new recipes and talk about many things in life. Many of you may know me by my twitter, PreppyGator. This blog will focus on food but there will for sure be some PreppyGator love as well. Let me start by telling you a little bit about myself and my journey with the Paleo lifestyle.

I have been an athletic build pretty much my whole life, normally a little heavier than I would like. I have tried every diet you can think of and most workouts to go with them. I played all kinds of sports in high school and maintained an okay diet. When I go to college I realized that without working out with sports I needed to change my diet. I cut out certain things, like dairy and other things for small amounts of time, but nothing I could really stick to. My last semester of grad school I cut out milk, cheese and pasta. I had already stopped drinking soda a couple years prior. (I do let myself have one occasionally) So transitioning to the Paleo lifestyle wasn't as hard as it could have been.

I remember the first time I heard about Paleo was from my best friend's brother. All I knew was he ate grilled chicken, veggies and nuts. A LOT! I was so confused and turned off by such an idea and said no way! Who knew 3 years later I would be a full fledged Paleo Princess?

This blog will talk about a lot of things: Paleo food, working out, CrossFit, fashion, friends, love and life. Be prepared for my ADD personality and ask any questions you would like. I might not always have the answer, but we can figure it out together. I'm always excited for new suggestions!
