Stuffed Cabbage

MEAL PREP: Stuffed Cabbage My favorite cheat meal is a burrito. 90% of the time I follow the Paleo diet, and only eat meat, vegetables, eggs, nuts and seeds.

Meal Prep: Mexican Meatloaf

I meal prepped a Mexican meatloaf this week.  I added a ton of vegetables to it so that it would be more nutritious.  If you are concerned with the higher calorie count in this than in my other recipes, you can switch out the pork churizo with one made with chicken or turkey, or even sub it outContinue reading “Meal Prep: Mexican Meatloaf”
