I Realized I Could Take Control Of My Health

Image
It’s Monday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here . I’ll continue to publish these each Monday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading! Yup, success stories are back! And I’m looking for more. Follow-ups, mid-progress reflections—every story at every stage has the potential to inspire folks out there who are getting started or contemplating a new beginning. Contact me here to share your story—long or not so long. You never know who you’ll impact by doing it. Enjoy, everyone! I honestly didn’t see this coming…. I’ve been blessed with good genetic health and energy my whole life, avoiding significant health challenges. Sure, I’ve suffered from an occasional pulled muscle or turned ankle, and over the course of a couple of years I nursed a right shoulder rotator cuff back to fu

Dining Out With A Baby

^^Sweet brother love. How was your weekend? I really do love hearing about how you guys spend your time, from cleaning out closets to traveling to far away places! Weekend Dinners We usually have one weekend night where we get cozy, cook a nice dinner, and watch Netflix once the kids are asleep and one weekend night where we go out on the town and don’t think about doing any dishes. Sometimes we crave cozy on Fridays and sometimes it’s the reverse. This week we went out on Friday and had dinner in yoga pants on Saturday. Friday Date Night With Birch Friday night Mazen had a sleepover with one of his BFFs so it was just the three of us out to dinner. We went to Petit Pois on the downtown mall. Dining out with a baby is so great this time of year since we can sit outside. Come winter, our choices will be much more limited. I don’t take a baby into quiet restaurants. Birch does well at outdoor spots, and we feed him little nibbles of whatever we’re eating and bring out some toy

High Low High [Life Lately]

Hi, guys! Happy Monday! 🙂 So, we’ve had quite the rollercoaster ride in the Haupert household lately, especially with regard to our health. I’ll give you all of the highs and lows in a second, but, first, I wanted to share some fun stuff from our weekend! HIGH: Running with Quinn! Quinn and I took Murphy for a walk on Sunday morning. I was wearing pajama pants, a fleece pullover , and flip-flops. Quinn was decked out head-to-toe in running gear. He said he’d run while I walked Murphy, and things went as planned for about 5 minutes. Running alone was fun, but running with Mumma would be A LOT of fun! So, Quinn started to ask me again and again to run with him. I couldn’t run with Murphy (details below), and I wasn’t really dressed for a proper run, which Quinn, of course, noticed. He basically told me to get into workout gear and put on my sneakers, and he’d “come with me.” Long story short, we dropped Murphy off at home. I changed into my running attire, and Quinn and I ran about

Primal (or) Keto Pasta Alfredo

Image
There’s such simplicity in pairing a delicious pasta sauce with zoodles or spaghetti squash, but sometimes you want to pull out all of the stops. When you feel like getting fancy, this Primal pasta is the perfect idea! Since the Primal pasta recipe is not low-carb, we’ve also included a Keto option that is cheese based. Keep in mind that the Paleo recipe is a boiled pasta, while the Keto option is baked. The recipes look a little involved, but the basic premise is: form dough, cut into pasta, and boil. If you’re following the Primal recipe, coconut milk and chopped kale is added to the pasta to provide more texture and body. If the Primal pasta dough seems to wet, add additional tapioca starch 1 teaspoon at a time. The Keto pasta recipe is actually baked, not boiled. Keto pasta should be formed into its desired shape prior to baking. It gets slightly dried out in the fridge and is then baked. Since the baked pasta is delicate, the coconut milk and kale can be omitted from the Keto v

33 Healthy Throw-Together Meals

33 Healthy Throw-Together Meals When I think about how I cook from week-to-week, it’s really basic and definitely not fancy like what you might see on social media. Maybe I’ll make one new recipe each week, but, for the most part, I’m mostly cooking family favorites and simple throw-together meals. And, truthfully, most of which aren’t even “official” recipes, but they’re still nutritious and delicious! 🙂 I personally love to switch up our meals from week-to-week, but I want to make it easy too. That said, here are 33 healthy throw-together meals to add to your menu in the coming weeks. Pick a few for this week, a couple of different ones for the week after, and so on. And, of course, repeat your favorites as much as you’d like! I hope these simple “recipes” help make meal time stress-free for you! 33 Healthy Throw-Together Meals 1. One-Pan Chicken Taco Skillet Buy : Ground chicken or turkey, a bag of frozen sliced peppers and onions, jarred salsa, taco seasoning. Optional in
