Welcome December with Healthy Paleo Meals
Eating clean through the holidays can sometimes be tough, but it doesn't have to be. I know some of you say to yourself, "I will get back on my diet after the New Year". We are all guilty of it. But why not get a jump start now and eat clean for December? Remember, eating Paleo isn't just a "diet". It is a lifestyle that we can all incorporate into our lives, especially during the holidays.
So I challenge you to get back on the Paleo train and keep eating clean at least 80% of the time for the month of December. If you are setting new goals or new resolutions for the New Year get ahead of the game now. You do not have to wait until January 1st.
Let Emily and I help you with new recipes for the rest of the month to keep you inspired. You might even want to make a short term goal to drop a few pounds before Christmas?!?!
Just Do it!

~ If you want to "spice" it up you can add curry or any other spice to the soup. I am not a native Texan so you will not see me posting any spicy foods, as I can't handle it. So feel free to make it hot and spicy if that is how you like it!

5. After they are done place them on some paper towels to dab the oil off. Enjoy! These are a fun tropical treat!
