My Paleo Blog

I got home from New Seasons Market yesterday and it happened again. Curious, I decided to look into the cause. 

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;

This is my post workout meal. If you are attempting to lose weight, a single burger might be a better idea!

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.

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.
