With Lamb.
Seriously. For a former vegan, I am picking the rudest thing to eat- baby animals. WTF has happened here, people?
My newest food love happened purely by accident- as all good love affairs do. When I was grocery shopping, I noticed they added grass fed lamb to the organic meat case at Wegmans. I've had lamb before in restaurants and liked it, so I figured I would give it a go.
BEST DECISION EVER.
I grabbed ground lamb and made it into burgers and grilled those little lambies up (sorry vegan friends). Delicious to the maxx my friends, to the maxx. They have a snap texture, almost like sausage. My crystal ball says there will be ground lamb stuffed peppers on the menu sometime this week.
Here is the recipe for the burgers:
1 lb ground lamb
1/2 tsp of the following spices:
coriander
cumin
salt
pepper
and 2 cloves of garlic, pressed
As for eating meat, especially meat that is cute, I am transitioning really well. I'm feeling good and I am noticing a lot of strength gains and am getting more toned. I start a thirty day Paleo challenge on Monday. I feel like I'm finally adjusting to eating meat and doing the Paleo thing and am ready to take on this challenge. I have been contemplating cutting out protein powders for awhile since it is a processed food and ditching them is part of this particular program. I started weaning myself off of foods that I tend to over indulge in like peanut butter and salty nuts. I mean, who doesn't want to eat salty nuts all day long ;0) Giving up alcohol for the next 30 days is going to be okay too. After a few weekends in a row of partying and hang overs, I'm ready for a break. Sorry vodka and sorry asshole behavior- you're out too. So if any Crossfitters needs a designated driver for Night Gone Bad, I'm your girl ;0)
If anyone wants to try the 30 day challenge, here is the website:
