Put Down the PopTart! | Why Processed Foods are Making You Fat

Paleo diet - processed foods
Release the PopTart!
What makes up a healthy meal? Can you answer that question?

You might be able to because you’re here at Paleo [Evolved], however the sad truth is that most people obviously can’t or 35% of Americans wouldn't be obese.

I’m going to tell you a secret; just because you cook at home doesn’t mean it’s healthy.

Cooking with Cast Iron | Paleo Chicken Thighs

Dry chicken sucks. This chicken doesn't.

Until recently, I've always been a huge BBQ fan. Growing up, I was never shown how to properly cook with oil and wasn't introduced to a cast iron pan until college.

Cooking with a cast iron pan is amazing because it's like grilling, frying, and baking all mixed into one.

Check out this easy recipe for paleo-style chicken thighs.

Homemade Almond-Flour Chicken Tenders

I'm not a big fan of the chicken breast. They're boring and tastes like cardboard.

These chicken tenders don't suck...especially with some Frank's Red Hot.

Check out the recipe.

Meat Color | Why Did My Ground Beef Turn Brown?

Why Red Meat Turns Brown

Why Meat Turns from Red to Brown
Just kidding about the brown slime. But I've found my ground beef does turn brown every time I yank it out of the fridge. 
"Color is the single most important factor of meat products that influences consumer buying decision and affects their perception of the freshness of the product. Everyone dealing with meat products should have a working knowledge of the color".
-Boles, Pegg.
I got home from New Seasons Market yesterday and it happened again. Curious, I decided to look into the cause.

Chuck Roast On The BBQ - My Paleo Dinner From Monday Night

Grass Fed Beef on the Barby
My Experiment With BBQ'in A Chuck Roast

Grass Fed Chuck Roast
Most chuck roast recipes call for a crock pot/slow cooker. Well I'm a guy and I like to BBQ. 

I had the day off and wanted to bust out the Traeger BBQ. If you don't know what that is, it's a pellet grill that allows for indirect heat at various temperatures, including smoke. It makes the best chicken in the world, hands down.

Anyway, I marinated the roast for 24 hours to try to get as much flavor as possible. Here is what I used for the marinade and how it turned out;

Paleo Shopping Trip - Todays Shopping List

My Paleo Shopping List
Minus The Dark Chocolate (With Almonds) That Got Eaten In The Car

paleo shopping list
I prefer to get what I can from Trader Joe's and my meat from New Seasons.
I might have a new favorite vegetable; Brussel Sprouts.

I've always hated brussel sprouts until recently, and my new favorite way to cook them comes from one of John Meadows' ideas.

John Meadows is a genius when it comes to diet and nutrition, and suggested squeezing fresh lemon juice on cooked sprouts. 

Wow. I like to steam the brussel sprouts before slicing them into halves, followed by salt and pepper. Simple as that, perhaps the best brussel sprouts you've ever had! 

Here's what was on the list;

Paleo Burgers - 100% Grass Fed Beef
I eat so much beef it's not even funny. I eat beef (grass fed) like normal people eat chicken. Maybe more. I pretty much eat red meat every day. I also never do ab workouts and constantly maintain a six-pack. I let my food do the work for me.

New Seasons usually carries the 5% or 10% lean pasture beef which simply doesn't cut it for me. If you've been around Paleo Evolved much, you know how I encourage healthy fats - saturated included. Well with only 5% fat content I decided to add a little of my own.

I want to add some muscle this winter so in an effort to increase testosterone, I've increased my saturated fat content. This allowed me to add some fresh guac and uncured bacon to my burgers. I pre-mixed some garlic, salt, pepper, minced garlic and sliced onions in the burgers before throwing them onto the grill.

I've also never really eaten wild rice before. While I usually stick to white rice to avoid plant toxins, I can't accept the idea that brown rice and the added fiber is unhealthy. It's NOT something that I eat daily however. Maybe once a week...maybe.

Grilling Asparagus Secret! Stop killing yourself!!!

Too many people make the huge mistake of cooking with olive oil. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is very sensitive to heat and literally goes rancid at 350*F. This means that the oil oxidizes and creates free radicals which are known to lead to cancer. Save the olive oil for your salad.

A better oil to cook with is Avocado Oil. This healthy oil is stable up to 500*. Cook with this oil instead of Olive Oil PLEASE!

Pasture Raised Eggs Vs Conventional Eggs - Is it worth it?

Pasture Raised Eggs 
Pasture Raised Vs. Conventional Eggs. Is it worth the extra $$?

pasture raised eggs
Pasture Raised Chickens in Nature
I just spent $8 on a dozen of eggs. Crazy, I know. A few years ago I would have thought it was Ludacris. But now I know better.

Now I am beginning understand the pasture, where in nature cows and chickens have found a way to live in harmony in a sustainable fashion.  

The reason I am happy to spend $8 on a carton of eggs is because I realize how beneficial true pasture raised eggs can be. Now I know that 1+1=3 is possible in nature when there is synergy involved.

Eggs that cost $1 or $2 dollars at the market simply won’t give you the same benefits because they are made from different nutrients themselves! If it weren't for pasture raised eggs, I wouldn't eat eggs at all.

Here’s why.

Paleo Pizza Recipe- Coconut Flour Pizza Crust

Paleo Style Coconut Flour Pizza
The Best Damn Gluten Free Pizza Period

Paleo Pizza - Coconut Flour Pizza Crust
Some days I just need some pizza! 

That being said, obviously I am not down with spending $5 for Dominos take-out as my ass would shake for a week, although 5 bucks for multiple meals would be amazing (sometimes I envy my ignorant, out of shape friends).

I've tried cauliflower and almond flour Paleo Pizza Crust Pizzas, however this is my favorite hands down.

I got the crust recipe from Chris Shugart of T-Nation and made this with some leftover grass fed steak I had in the fridge. I like these paleo pizzas because they are high in calories for a refuel, however the calories are still relatively clean; meat and veggies.

Admittedly, there is a decent amount of cheese in this recipe. If dairy is an issue for you, I apologize! 

With this site being focused on muscle growth, high caloric meals like this are great for off days! With this pizza you are going to get tons of both veggies and protein!

Here is the recipe!
