It looks like it is going to be another hot, beautiful day today. I am so glad Summer finally decided to grace us with her presence!
Dinner last night was a much bigger success. We had Barbecued Alaskan Shrimp (only we had it broiled), and it was a hit with everyone. Yummy! Here's the recipe:
Barbecued Alaskan Shrimp:
2 1/2 lb shelled and steamed jumbo shrimp with tail left on
1/4 c virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 tsp paprika
dash of cayenne pepper
2T lemon juice
2 fresh limes cut into wedges
3-4 sprigs fresh parsley
Place cooked shrimp in a large bowl. Mix olive oil, spices, and lemon juice in a separate bowl. Brush shrimp with spice mixture and place on hot grill or under broiler for one to two minutes. Turn shrimp (I put them on skewers for easier turning) and continue cooking for and additional one to two minutes. Garnish with lime wedges and parsley. Serves 3 to 4.

It was delicious!
Oh, and I thought I'd add a pic of Tim's lunch...I love eating this way, it is just so pretty!
That is a lettuce turkey "sandwich", blueberries, strawberries, cherries, carrots, dried apricots and some walnuts. Tim had a hard time finishing it all...we have noticed that we are eating less because we are getting fuller, faster on this food.
Last night after dinner we had our first experiment with an open meals. We get three open meals per week, so Tim wanted to have a slice of cheesecake he had left over from dinner the day before we started Paleo. Tim said he enjoyed it, but that shortly after he ate it he started to feel poorly - just a little queasy and "off". It went away after an hour or so, but we thought it was an interesting reaction to something that he could have downed easily just a few days ago.
Yesterday evening we also went to CrossFit for the first time. Unfortunately, it was a very large class and so we got very little instruction on what we were supposed to do...we ended up standing in the corner most of the time watching while waiting for the trainer to come over and explain the basic work out we were supposed to be doing. Ah well. The class looked very interesting though, and we will be setting up an appointment for a fundamentals class soon. The fundamentals class teaches the lifts, proper form and technique etc., after which we can begin joining in with the main group during classes. I am excited. :)
It is time to post this and get myself some breakfast.

What condiments do you put on your lettuce turkey sandwich?

Mustard (especially the kind that only has mustard and water as ingredients), mashed avocado, or moist veggies like tomatoes, cucumber, etc. I also like to put dill seed on them.
