I promised those following my IG account this recipe last week. So sorry I am a week late getting it up. Better late than never I guess, so here it is...
WINTER SOUP:
1 pkg of butternut squash or 1 squash peeled and diced
1/2 a bag of prechopped kale, or 1/2 a bunch, torn into bite sized pieces
1 can of kidney beans, rinsed and drained (could also use great northern or chick peas)
qt of broth, homemade or organic free range chicken stock
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves minced
1/2 package of sliced mushrooms, chopped
1 Tbsp thyme
1/2 Tbsp salt
1/2 Tbsp Spanish paprika
Fresh cracked pepper to taste
In a stock pot, melt some ghee or grass fed butter, or coconut oil and sautee onion and garlic until translucent. Add spices and stir to combine. Add broth and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to med cooking until the squash is fork tender.
I served this with pork tenderloin sliced and baked. You could cube up some pork and cook with the soup if you wish.
This is the soup and also pictured is "Paleo Dinner Rolls" from paleospirit.com. They are divine and so simple to make!
Today is day 19 of my 21 day jump start challenge. I haven't lost any more weight on the scales, a few inches were regained, and I haven't check Body Fat % yet. I plan to do that on day 22. My ultimate goal from this was for BF loss. Since I pretty much eat this way 80-90% of the time anyways, I did not expect weight loss. Since I haven't been able to hit the workouts super hard, I may be disappointed with my end results. However I do have to say that I do feel through all of this, I have finally stabilized by blood sugar which always ran low. I have learned how to fuel my body with the right amount of calories, I always ate too few. I feel like overall, I have much better health than I did this time last year. I feel like the Adrenal Fatigue is a thing of the past! I feel like ME again and that feels GREAT! I want to give a shout out to Kim, Julie, and Janna. They have reached out to me for help in getting their lives back on track. I am here for ya for moral support and also for any other support you may need along this journey! This blog was started to hopefully bring better health to those who are interested through my transparent journey in obtaining my own health.
