Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you are all having a lovely holiday.
I'm sure that I am not the only person from a family who celebrates Christmas with loads of food, generally of the unhealthy variety?!
Nope? Didn't think so.
I am enjoying every single part of Christmas, and not restricting my body from anything, but I am also keeping control of it and not taking it to the extremes. By this I mean that I am enjoying Christmas Day and all of the food it involves and from here out I will enjoy every social meal and drinks I have planned, but in between I will not be doing my usual trick of eating anything and everything just for the sake of the 'Christmas/Winter weight'. I'm also going to try and fit some exercise in there somewhere no matter how small- a 15 minute intense workout s better than no work out after all.
So this Christmas both of my sisters and I ' brought something to the table', my elder sister made a malt easer cheesecake and my younger sister made a Christmas log cake. Me, I made sprouts in blankets! :)
Simple yet delicious and perfectly paleo friendly.
RECIPE
- Par boil sprouts
- Add olive oil and diced fresh garlic to a hot pan
- Wrap sprouts in pancetta
- Add sprouts in pancetta to hot oil
- Crumble a few remaining sprouts into the pan
- Shake the pan once every 60 seconds to get a crisp on edges
- Add black pepper
- Serve and enjoy :)
We also had some yummy sweet potato roasts, honey and mustard parsnips and lots of different sausages and meats. Paleo perfect!!
Enjoy the rest of your holidays :)
