Ger and Cassie are expecting a baby in July, 2016

Yes, it's true - a baby is on the way. Ger and Cassie are getting Mikko a human. Won't it be strong and beautiful and smart? Well, the odds are good on that. I'lll be praying for all those things and more. I'll keep you posted, either here or on  feedinggersasser.com,  where I'm putting most of my new posts. Click here to read all about it:  READ MORE - BABY DUE IN JULY  

So, since I'm a left handed gal in cast since Sept 24, I haven't been posting much on here. I hope to get this waterproof cast off on Nov 10 if the X rays look good. Then I'll get a brace and start working on the wrist rehab. (been working the thumb already)

Needless to say, eating has been a challenge - I can't cook with just my non dominant hand, I can hardly get food INTO my mouth with my right hand...and what else? I bought a new dishwasher and it's sat in my kitchen floor for an entire week now. (If anyone out there is trying to think of a job that is needed, this might be a great idea...) 

But, tonight Jack, Isaac, I am going to Ger and Cassie's house. They made chili. Jess is bringing grilled cheese sandwiches. How nice is that? I'm looking forward to it.

Don't you love the shirts in the photo? Kim saw them and just had to get them for Ger and Cassie. The SASS is STRONG with them, for sure! I can't wait to see them in these matching shirts.

Paleo Chicken Pepper Paprikash has the power of smoked paprika.

Chicken Paprikash is a traditional Hungarian dish that uses Paprika as a main ingredient in the cooking of chicken thighs until extremely tender and flavorful.  I took the old family recipe and changed it up, using Paleo ingredients and Smoked Paprika and everything compliments the other ingredients to the point of perfection.

Smoked paprika has a deeper color and a more intense flavor than normal paprika.  it's filled with vitamin C and carotenoids and we all know the long list of benefits to our health that come with that, right?

So, try this easy and efficient recipe for your health and strength in your meal prep plan this week. Chicken thighs are also economical, even when they're organic.

Here's the recipe:  Paleo Chicken Pepper Paprikash 

Here's an easy and efficient paleo skillet meal - Apple Chicken Sausage and Vegetables

Skillet meals can be fast and healthy. This one is faster than most because of some healthy precooked apple chicken sausage. We all need recipes where we can prep some paleo fuel and get on with our lives. (I bet your to-do list is as long as mine) 

So, when you plan your meal prep sessions, this recipe is extra-fast - you'll be filling up your containers in no time.

This photo shows the recipe with added leftover Kicked Up Carrots. Check out the recipe here:     READ MORE 

Berry Blend Fig JouleFuel Smoothie is SO good for you!

Figs. Have you read about the nutritional powerhouse that figs provide? Did you know that you can substitute figs in any recipe that has dates 1:1? The more figs are researched, the more health benefits are found and since they've been around for over 5,000 years, I think it's time you gave them some attention.

People who are new to figs sometimes find the fresh ones...weird. All those different textures and the seeds and sometimes just the look of them stop some people in their tracks. 

Even the dried figs have a consistency that some find hard to love. 

What's the answer to this? Throw them in the Vitamix and sweeten up a JouleFuel smoothie. It's seriously good stuff! click here for the recipe:  Berry Blend JouleFuel Smoothie 

Bacon Wrapped Corn on the Cob - Oven Version

We were all craving corn and hadn't had any yet this season. I wanted to find the healthiest corn possible in this area; not an easy task, but farmer's markets and the Wild Ramp would be the best bets. Since we try to eat Paleo most of the time, and healthy all the time, I wanted this corn to be as special as I could make it so, of course, I wrapped it in bacon. Lots of bacon. Because that stuff will shrink. 

Everyone wanted more corn than I had. That's a good sign of a great recipe, right? Hopefully this will convince you to make this easy recipe. The photo on the recipe shows them cooked and they are awesomely beautiful.

Seriously. Click here for the recipe:  READ MORE 

Crock Pot Round Steak and Quinoa fuels you up for success

This amazing round steak recipe gives you the most delicious and tender way to easily prepare round steak. It can be made strict Paleo if you leave out the quinoa. 

But, let's talk about quinoa. It's not a grain. It's a seed, technically, from the goosefoot plant. 
So, it is gluten-free and better for you than grains. Most people process quinoa effectively. It's not like we eat it often, but now and then we enjoy it. There's only a cup of red quinoa in this crock pot recipe and it's a wonderful addition to your paleo diet now and then unless you are a STRICT Paleo person.

I like to load my crock pot the night before and place the insert into the fridge.
 The next morning, I'll see the post-it note on the coffee pot that reminds me to take it out of the fridge and plug it in and set it.  It is the perfect way to have a great meal ready when I get home from work, and no matter how stressful the day might try to be, I know I'm going to fuel up my people with a healthy dinner.

Spaghetti Squash Baby Kale Chicken Marinara - yes, I'm working at the airport.

I'm sitting in the Oakland airport waiting to fly home and catching up on recipe posts. We've had such a great time and got to spend a lot of time with Ger! It was great that Cassie was here at the same time, too! The San Francisco Fire won their match against the LA Reign and move on to the playoffs on Sept 16. Ger and the Fire will play the Phoenix Rise again in Anaheim.

We especially enjoyed our dinner last night at the Walnut Creek Yacht Club. It's nowhere near water but the food was so perfect that it didn't matter at all. I had tender sea bass, Jack and Ger had the halibut and roasted beets, and Isaac had lobster mac n cheese. All of this was after oysters on the half-shell. We finished up with one creme brûlée for the 4 of us to share.

Now, it's time to get back to business, right? This new Spaghetti Squash Baby Kale Chicken Marinara is a perfect blend of clean ingredients that will fuel you up for all your many successes. For the recipe,  CLICK HERE. 

Banana Pecan Breakfast Bars are grain-free Paleo deliciousness.

I am sitting here at the Treehouse in Sunol and I finally have time to blog this recipe. It's so beautiful here. I'm in the Redwood cabin section of the house, all cozy, and the views out all the windows are relaxing and green. The weather is perfect. If you even get a chance to be out this way, this place is a great rental. Richard seems to have thought of everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay.

 AND the San Francisco Fire won their match yesterday against the LA Reign. We love watching our team live and yesterday was no exception! The Fire brought the win with finesse and strength and the crowd was #FiredUp!

What else is great? Ger and Cassie will be texting soon about when they can get together with me, Isaac, and Jack. Who knows what we'll do today? We've ridden the bart to a Giants game, eaten sushi,  eaten a fabulous breakfast at Denica's (video on Instagram @feedinggersasser), checked out the Firehaus,  and had a sleepover.

Anyway, enjoy your family. Make these bars. Have an adventure.  Find the recipe HERE.

Have you checked out JouleFuel yet?

This is from the feedinggersasser Instagram account yesterday:

• feedinggersasserI got 11 things checked off my to-do list today including watching @sanfranfire #grid match and a 4.2 mile run with lots of hill work. Who's got time to cook today? Not me. This @joulefuel is a very clean meal replacement and I'll have a blog post tomorrow about how I'm tweaking it. #Paleo #feedinggersasser #eatclean#mealprep #57isthenewwhatever

• lkaymurrayYou are superwoman!! #nocapenecessary

JouleFuel reached out to me and Ger and Cassie and we checked them out and found them to be a very clean product. Then they graciously sent us some JouleFuel to try out. The insert says  "A nutritional drink derived from whole food sources infused with vitamins and minerals intended to give the body what it needs to sustain energy." 

This stuff comes in handy. Click here for some of my Smoothie recipes using JouleFuel. Read more here

This Paleo Chunky Summer Slaw is cold and crunchy

Do you get too busy with all the things you need to do that you let meal prep and healthy meal choices fall by the wayside? Then, do you notice that your energy levels or your patience are dropping off? 

 I'm a teacher. This time of year is when my school district has been in session a couple of weeks and I am already feeling the stress of the "list" getting longer and longer. I didn't eat great this week. I certainly didn't get to Crossfit Countdown enough. It's Saturday and I'm about to go back to ONE of my classrooms and work.

I'm also going to prep better for the upcoming week and stop beating myself up about it all. This Chunky Summer Slaw is one of the easy things I can do this weekend.  You should try it.   Find the recipe here

Does Roasted Sriracha Lime Zucchini sound good?

Last night was our first Tuesday night Family Dinner with Ger gone. (He's in his second season with the San Francisco Fire and is training hard with his incredible team.)  We had Roasted Lemon Shrimp with Sweet Potatoes and a zucchini/quinoa/cabbage/bonebroth skillet recipe that I haven't posted yet. I did notice that I didn't have the roasted zucchini recipe with sriracha lime sea salt SO I putting that one up now. Salttraders.com is where I get all my favorite sea salt and this one has been added to our favorites list. Salt Traders does not sponsor me - I just love the deep and wonderful flavors their smoked sea salt brings to great food.

I hope you try this Sriracha Lime Zucchini dish. Roasting only takes a few minutes. Here's the recipe:

We all need high-protein soups like Andouille Sausage Gumbo

Making soup is a wonderfully easy way to provide meals that increase nutrition and strength but you have to make sure you get lots of protein sources along with all those vegetables. When you feed athletes (and hey, we're all athletes, right?) you need lots of protein.
If you go for a vegetable based soup, you'll need to have meat on the side but high-protein soups are awesome one-dish meals that help us all keep up with our busy lives.
This delicious Andouille Sausage makes a great protein source for this soup. Check out the recipe:         Read more 

You are going to love this slow steamed Lemon Basil Salmon

The star of the dinner was Paleo Lemon Basil Steamed Salmon. Check out the recipe here: READ MORE 
It paired well with Buttered Sweet Potatoes with Molasses,  Paleo Broccoli Salad, and Hemp Seed Crusted Avocado.
After all of that, we didn't need dessert. We didn't even cut the watermelon. We talked about our health and wellness. laughed a lot, and played a card game.
What side dishes do you like to have with salmon? If there are leftovers, this salmon looks great in the middle of a salad, so go big when you pick out a slab of salmon and you will have two dinners ready and only one easy cooking session. If you have any food plan or prep questions, go to the ABOUT and look me up on social media or leave a question in the comments on the recipes here.

If you are afraid to try a meal prep session maybe you should invite a friend over and do it together. You have four hands instead of two for all the chopping and stirring.

These avocado slices rolled in hemp seeds will compliment and increase the nutritional value of so many meals.  Have you Googled the benefits of hemp seeds? No wonder they list it as a superfood.

You can soak goji berries in water before you put them in salads like Chicken Goji Pear Salad

Goji berries can seem hard and not worth eating to some people but they are such an antioxidant-filled superfood that you should work on finding ways to put them into your meal plans. They are dried and chewy and a little sweet with an herb aftertaste.

You could make up a batch of Goji Berry Breakfast Bars and bag them up as part of your Crossfit diet meal plan when you do a prep day. They are good for breakfast or a snack on the go.

If you don't have time for that just soak some goji berries in hot water and then put this Chicken Goji Pear Salad together. Here's the recipe:  Read more

Here's another easy way to eat more fish

Ger and Cassie's first year wedding anniversary is days away. When I think back to that day there are so many awesome memories filled with love and family and friends. This photo shows me and all my kids AND my mom. She is having a bad spell of gout right now and it just makes me think about how important your food intake actually is.

Athletes don't eat enough fish...

Last night 45 great humans gathered at the Ironton Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the GRID match between the San Francisco Fire and the Phoenix Rise on NBC Sports. It was fun to watch Ger Sasser, #36, watch the match, and to eat so many wings! #grid #firedup

I've got 2 more Tuesday night Family dinners to plan and prep before his second season with the Fire.  We'd had Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops last week and I was texting with Ger to see if he had any requests. His answer was "don't eat enough fishes" so I suggested crab legs or a big slab of salmon. Use the search box here if you want to see all the salmon recipes at once.

Cooking radishes is a great new trend

I like cooked radishes much better than thrown in a salad. Once I started throwing them into stir-fry or just sautéing them in butter I kept reading about how trendy this was. I hope you give them a try, whether you like them or not. Peeling them gives you less of that peppery bite. So does cooking them. You might be surprised just how good they can be!

 Nutritionally, they are a powerhouse in the cruciferous family and carry all those cancer-protection nutrients. Seriously, check them out.   Buttered Radishes Red Pepper and Kale:     Read more

Breakfast or side dish, these Eggs in Roasted Tomatoes are awesome.

Why Should I Drink Bone Broth?

Why should we drink bone broth? Our grandmothers were right about this one and then people got it wrong... by wanting convenience - boneless chicken, boneless pork chops, and on and on.  Bone broth is known to boost athletic performance, joint function, promote stronger bones and ligaments, AND boost our immune systems.  I also think it makes us look and feel younger and stronger.  Some of it tastes odd and it takes a long time to make but there are ways around that!  Read more

Pumpkin Kombucha

I love making kombucha. If you don’t make your own yet, please read my post here for tips to get started: Kombucha – Make It Yourself.  If you are local, let me know if you want a scoby to start with. I have a long family-tree.

I’m always making different flavor combinations when I bottle kombucha. I have many favorites but still longed for a pumpkin pie spice flavor. I’ve been developing this and I just love it! If you love pumpkin, you will, too.  I thought about waiting until fall to post this recipe, but I just couldn’t wait. Pumpkin should not only be celebrated in one season! (It's fast becoming a family favorite)

So, when your next gallon of kombucha is ready to be bottled you could try it this way:

I’d already made a batch of tea with 7 organic black tea bags and 1 cup of sugar and let it cool.

With clean hands, I carefully took out the scoby and laid him aside on a clean plate. (He looks good)

I gave the kombucha a gentle stir with a wooden spoon and poured off 1 cup to go in the new batch.

I added the following ingredients into the gallon jar:

3 TBSP organic pumpkin

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/4 tsp ginger (you can put a matchstick-sized piece of fresh peeled ginger in each bottle instead if you prefer)

I GENTLY stirred this up until the pumpkin mixed in.

I filled 6 bottles, leaving a little breathing room at the top of each, and capping tightly. They went into a cooler for 48 hours and then into the fridge. Deliciously different.

Other flavor ideas for your kombucha can be found here: Flavor Your Kombucha

Paleo Cherry Blueberry Cobbler

I hope you are giving fresh cherries the attention that they deserve. I've read that cherries:

1. Ease pain (like from arthritis, gout, and WEIGHT-LIFTING)
2. Are full of vitamins
3. Lower blood pressure
4. Fight cancer
5. help you SLEEP

Here's what I did:
I measured 2 cups of pitted fresh cherries and  2 cups dried wild blueberries and put them into a 8 x 8 square baking dish. 

In a bowl, I stirred up the following ingredients with a fork:

1/3 cup local honey (if you use raw honey, you might want to warm it a bit so it will mix better)
2/3 cup unblanched almond flour (but blanched would be fine)
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 cup organic coconut milk from a can
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 large egg

I put this mixture on top of the fruit. 

In a small glass dish I melted 4 TBSP pasture butter (Kerry Gold, from grass fed cows) and then poured it over the top of the cobbler. See?

I put it into a 375 degree oven for 35 minutes. Oh. My. Goodness. 

Pumpkin Banana Goji Cookies

I made this batch of healthy treats so quickly I should call them ninja cookies. I imagined the WOD clock – “3…2…1…BEEP”

I put the following ingredients into a large bowl:

2 large ripe bananas
1  1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (we love McCann’s quick oats – order from amazon.com)
1 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut  ( the coconut chips are the big chunks – order from nuts.com or tropicaltraditions.com if you can’t find it)
1/2 cup goji berries  ( or other dried fruit you like, or dark chocolate chips….)

1/3 cup pumpkin
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon

dash of sea salt

I mashed this all up with my hands.

I used a cookie scoop and placed the cookies on a baking sheet rubbed with a little coconut oil.
I baked them in a 350 degree oven for 12 minutes.

“TIME!”

This recipe made 18 chewy Pumpkin Banana Goji Cookies. Sometimes I crave something with a little old-fashioned oats in it. Oats don’t spike your insulin, so now and then, it’s not going to be a big deal. These cookies are so healthy and so fast!

Ger Sasser is fast, too. I love this #sanfranfire from earlier today:

You can watch a repeat of the San Francisco Fire's GRID match against the Phoenix Rise on NBCSports on July 22, 2015 at 6:30 pm.
