Paleo Challenge

Dear friends and athletes, I would like to thank you for joining us on this special occasion that is the 1st anniversary of CrossFit Léman and Euan’s birthday. On this occasion we of course had a Paleo Chocolate cake and champagne. And here is the recipe for it. I made enough for 30-35 [...]

An other russian traditional meal is soup. We like the beetroot soup, cabbage soup, pickled cucumber soup and mushroom soup amongst others. They’re all based on meat or chicken stock. Today I made a chicken soup with paleo noodles. For this dish you will need:

Here’s a great recipe for Paleo-Primal Pancakes. I always have to make enough of them as it causes riots in the kitchen when everybody doesn’t have at least one in each hand. And that until they’re all full of course. To make them you’ll need:

3 Ts rapeseed oil
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 ts [...]

With such a wonderful day today (Sunday the 19th of September) we could only think of one thing to do. Get some neighbors over for a grill. For the main event we had some côte de boeuf for the meat eaters, some wild salmon and tuna as well as some veggie burgers and [...]

I found this wonderful website Everyday Paleo that has a tone of ideas for yummy meals.

I tried this one the other day and it had a great success. It’s made with berries, almond flour, eggs and cinnamon. Very easy and quick to fix:

preheat the oven at 180°C
pour berries  of your choice (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) in [...]

The way the hunter-gatherer lived was that he got to eat what he killed and gathered. Today with the Paleo Diet we’re trying to replicate this way of eating as closely and realistically as we can.
