A Nick Sighting!! (we miss you!)

I’ve been searching for new and interesting comfort food recipes to try recently and stumbled on Growing Up Paleo, a blog written by Chrissy Gower about paleo pregnancy and raising a paleo child.   She’s also a trainer at Robb Wolf’s NorCal Stength and Conditioning, and leads the Paleo Talk Seminar with Everyday Paleo‘s Sarah Fragoso.

Her Sweet Potato Chowder caught my eye and it’s on my to do list this weekend!

Ingredients

  • 2-3 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups of cut up chicken (I used a rotisserie style chicken)
  • 2 cans of chicken stock or broth
  • 1/2 cup of coconut milk or heavy cream
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 2 jalapenos chopped
  • 2 TBS butter or olive oil

Bake your sweet potatoes at 350 it will take about 1 hour or until soft (I quartered mine and wrapped them in tin foil to cook them faster). Once sweet potatoes are cooked remove the skin and place sweet potato in a food processor or blender and puree. I added a little bit of my chicken broth during the puree process to help smooth it out. Saute your onion and celery (next time I would add carrots too) in the butter or olive oil until tender. Add pureed sweet potatoes, remaining chicken broth and bring to a slow boil. Add the 1/2 cup of coconut milk, jalapenos, chicken, and a little salt. Reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes and enjoy!!

Sean and I will be attending Chrissy and Sarah’s Paleo Talk Seminar at CrossFit Inland Valley on June 26th.  Click here for more details!

WOD 06.11.11

CrossFit Regionals WOD #6

For time:
20 Calorie row
30 Burpees
30 Dumbbell ground-to-overhead (45lb / 35lb)
30 Toes-to-bar
100 foot Overhead walking lunge (45lb plate / 25lb)
50 foot Sprint

Teams of 4 (2 men, 2 women). All four athletes perform the entire workout. The first athlete enters and completes the Row. When that athlete has completed the row, they move on to Burpees, and the second athlete may begin the Row. This pattern continues, in order, through all of the movement. No athlete can begin their next station until the athlete ahead of them is clear from that station. A team’s result is the total time for all 4 members to go through the workout.
