bellarific friday

It’s Bellarific Friday and a New BABEROONI has joined our “Posse” LOL

And I started another diet.. LOL.   But this one, I am hoping is for GOOD.  My house has accepted the WHOLE 30 challenge.. basically a paleo diet.  If I tell you that cooking for this is a full time job, I am NOT kidding LOL.. but it is soooo worth it.  I have found amazing recipes that my family is gobbling up and we are enjoying good clean whole food.  I LOVE IT!  If you are at all interested in something like this or are eating this way, I would LOVE to share recipes..  If I scroll back to all my posts I am SO embarassed at all the diets I have tried LOL.. omg.. it’s a day to day change.. but this time I don’t feel like this is a diet at all.. this is a way of life.  Jayden gave me the “hand” saying WHOAAA mama.. baby steps LOL.. and Tyler has embraced it wholeheartedly.. it’s actually amazing to watch.  Yes it is a lot of work but boy it is worth it.  I’ve been on it only 5 days and feel EONS better and have learned so so much! (that’s what happens when you drive to your march break destination and have nothing to do but read LOL).  If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen some of my meals this week 🙂

  1. all of the cards are just fabulous!

    I’m anxious to hear how this new eating plan goes for all of you. it sounds very interesting. I need one that includes bacon and coffee?! grins!

    have a great weekend!

      Jen guess what? You can have both! And I make a wicked coffee blended in the blender with coconut milk.. Ryan salivates every morning when I make it for him 🙂 and for the bacon, as long as there are no nitrates or sugar, enjoy!

    I am familiar with primal Kerri but how is it so different than what I’m doing? So glad you feel my pain lol

    Lovely cards and yes, too late of a posting for me to get my card in. Hopefully next week.

    I’ve never heard of that diet plan but then again, I’ve never been on a diet. I don’t eat any meat except some salmon and shrimp on occasion, especially when we eat out as the vegetarian selections are still slim at some restaurants. We go by the 80/20 rule – eat healthy foods 80% of the time and don’t stress about the other 20%. Hubby says we likely eat 90/10 but who knows. My other theory is “If you don’t buy it, it’s not in the house and you can’t eat it”. So we just don’t buy unhealthy junk food. Good luck on your diet. I would love new recipes.

  5. welcome Cheryl, to the fab team! I know you will love being part of this great group of talented Bellas! 🙂

    love all of the projects! gorgeous as always!

    I noticed you posting Paleo photos on IG and am reading your blog this fine Sunday morning. This is my “me” time before the doggies get up and going and I get started. Anyway, I would love some recipes – simple is best. I’m not a big fan of cooking and it’s only me that I feed. The dogs eat dry food and a little of the roast beef with their evening kibble. I have found a couple of recipes for spaghetti squash on Pinterest and instead of making my own sauce, I bought pre-made. I’m not 100% Paleo but sugar in ingredients are way down the line.

    I did Paleo a couple of years ago for 3 months and felt great. Then the holidays came upon me and I slipped and it has taken a VERY LONG time to return to whole food eating. I keep nuts on hand all the time, even the roasted and salty kind. I eat a small bit of dairy but have started to eliminate that. Some friends went to Trader Joe’s in a city near me and got bacon for me. I need to now look at the package and see about the nitrates. More will be revealed.

    Now, I’m off to see if I can find some tutorials on your site for coloring in the Stampbella stamps I purchased. BTW, the last part of my order arrived this week.
