Nuggets of knowledge I think you need =)

  I am so happy and delightfully overwhelmed by the feedback I've gotten from this handy dandy little blog, that I've decided to continue writing. LUCKY YOU! hehe. So... today I will share one of my most favorite paleo dishes, and my not so favorite Crossfit workouts that we did this week. And, if you're nice, I'll give you Collin's blog so you can fill your nuggets with health knowledge. =)
  First, before I go into the workouts, let me set the previous record straight. Apparently, I hurt Jeremy's feelers when I referred to him as devil man and Collin as a guru. Soooo, let me explain. Jeremy was my intro coach, thus, earning the name devil man. For at least the first 3 sessions I felt like death was a better option that what I was going thru. BUT, it turns out, he too knows his shit and is TOTALLY not scary at all and everyone should be so lucky as to have their intros with him. There. I think I said it how he told me to. hahaha but seriously, he is the devil in a good way. All the trainers know their shit and will change your life with their plethora of knowledge that they share each and every day and I love them all!
  So, onto the workouts. This week we did tabata workouts. I hate tabata so good. It hates me even better. I have bruises on my clavical from the push presses and I have sore muscles in my upper body that I didn't know existed from the pushups and pullups. I may even go to open gym tonight for a little more torture. If you want to know exactly what tabata is, join Crossfit. ;-) or ask me...
  Now on to the good stuff... the paleo meal I promised. It's quick, it's easy, it's effing delicious. As I before said, I LOVE http://www.paleomg.com/. It's a great blog. Go check it out. Today's recipe comes courtesy of her. I give you "Meatza." We don't eat grains. But, we still love food, and pizza, is one of those goodies. Read it, cook it, devour it...

Ingredients

• 1lb ground beef (as lean as you can find. grass fed is best)
• 1lb ground pork
• 2 eggs
• 2-3 cups marinara-no sugar added or pizza sauce
• Chopped bell peppers, any color (I used red, yellow, and green)
• 1 container mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 zucchini, chopped
• 1/2 onion, roughly sliced
• 5-6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon parsley
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• fresh basil, to garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Pull out a large mixing bowl and add your beef, pork and eggs and mix well to combine.
3. Now add in all your spices to your meat mixture: garlic and onion powder, oregano, parsley, and thyme and thoroughly mix the spices in with the meat.
4. Now grab a 9 x 11 glass baking dish and throw your ball of meat into the dish and press down until meat is the same thickness throughout. Much like you would meatloaf.
5. Bake for 15 minutes.
6. While the meat is baking, chop your veggies to get them all ready to plop on top of your meatza.
7. Once the meat is done cooking, pull it out of the oven, top with the rest of the ingredients: marinara, veggies, and garlic. Also add salt and pepper to your preference.
8. Put back in the oven for 12 minutes.
9. Enjoy. =)

  You can really top this pizza with any and all the veggies you want, the more the better! This is just the recipe the way she makes it, but make it your own. Go crazy with the veggies!!! I know you're probably thinking WHAT THE HELL MAN!? No crust? No cheese? Hell no. You don't need that shit. It's better without, trust me. Don't taint this yummy delight with crap. Remember, just because it's good for you, doesn't mean you can eat the whole thing in one setting. PORTIONS PEOPLE! I know it will be tempting, but it's just as good leftover. TRUST ME. =)

  Now, the added bonus. I feel as though you are probably all being "nice" to me via actually reading this... so here is Collin's blog... findyourline.tumblr.com You would be wise to read and pay attention. He's a smart man! Until next time peeps.
