Lots of Left-Overs & A Silly Husband

The more and more I thought about this blogging thing, made me realize when a couple of my good friends Elaine Gray and Amy Taylor read this....they are going to give me a hard time, because these two (God love them for it) are vocal and honest about their opinion of the Paleo diet. Amy pretty much thinks its Whack and Elaine thinks a lot of the baked goods taste like cardboard....which if you are just starting out...things can taste like cardboard.

Yesterday for dinner I was going to attempt to make a pico de gallo chicken soup, I saw a recipe for it on another blog however, when it came time to start making it, I realized I only had half of the ingredients I needed (which tends to be a common trend) so I decided to create my own soup, kind like a Spicy chicken and vegetable soup...but predominately more vegetables because I just used the left over chicken that we had made a couple days before. Anthony loved it, and still mentioned it today, so I thought it was blog-site worthy.  So here it is :

Spicy Chicken and Vegetable Soup:

 

- left over chicken breast meat

-1 can of straight chicken broth, no additives or anything

-1 avocado

-1 cup chopped up celery stalk

-1 cup chopped onion

-1 tbs of garlic powder

-2tbs cilantro 

- chili powder to taste

- salt and paper to taste

(We had a little Pico De Gallo left over so I threw that in there too)

- Put in pot and heat, stir occasionally

For a long time I believed it was hard to eat lunch or take lunch some where that was completely Paleo and not completely boring. Today I met Anthony on his chow and PT time and packed him a lunch! This maybe took me 5 minutes max to do, but that is being quite generous because I was running late.

Left overs are an amazing thing, I used to hate them, but they are growing on me, good thing Anthony loves them and good thing that he loves lunch too!

Things you will need:

-Tupperwear container

-1 very large handful of spinach

- 1/2 of left over stake or whatever meat you desire, I cut his in slices

- small handful of pre-sliced onions

- 3 small snacking bell peppers, sliced

- Pico De Gallo for a salad dressing

He decided to express his happiness as such (the winking comes from the movie Life is Beautiful, he agreed to watch it the other night and loved it, it's a classic and a must watch - thanks Elaine Gray!)

....then it got stuck on his head...haha

For now, this is all I have, okay, so I do have more, but the pictures aren't on my computer yet and we will just have to wait until they get there. Enjoy leftovers...make the best of them!
