In the pan...
...On your plate!
In honour of the 30-Day Paleo Challenge currently currently underway, I thought I would post another good recipe from Lisa’s Nutrition Blog. Some mealtime variety will come in handy over the month ahead!
Paleo Meatloaf
2 lbs. Grass Fed Ground Beef (or ground turkey)
4 Eggs
1 1/2 cups Shredded Zucchini
1 1/2 cups Shredded Carrot
8 oz Crimini Mushrooms - minced
1 Small Onion - minced
1-2 Cloves Fresh Garlic - minced
1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp Sea Salt
1 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 cup Paleo BBQ Sauce*
In a small pan, saute the onion, garlic, mushrooms and spices over medium heat until tender. In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, eggs, zucchini, carrots, sauteed vegetables and 1/4 cup paleo BBQ sauce. Mix with clean hands until well combined. Place mixture in meatloaf pan. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes at 350 degrees (until meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.) Remove and pour 1/4 cup paleo BBQ sauce evenly over meatloaf, bake for additional 10 minutes. Let rest about 5 minutes and serve.
*Paleo BBQ Sauce
1 15 oz Bottle La Victoria Red Taco Sauce (Medium)
1 20 oz Can Red Enchilada Sauce
2 tsp Liquid Smoke
1/4 cup Honey
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Information you could use: Most BBQ sauce has 15 grams of carbohydrate per 2 tbsp serving due to the sugar and corn syrup used to make it. This recipe yields 4 cups of BBQ sauce with a total of 88 grams of carbohydrate which equates to just 2.75 grams of carbohydrate per 2 tbsp serving.
Happy Eating, challengers!

B You rock! I think that’s a fair challenge to give the boys because right now the girls who have been consistent have shown great improvements already!
