April 5th...Easter SUGAR bunny!

 Ok in the true spirit of the Easter Bunny, I thought I'd point out just how much sugar you might consume if you decide to indulged, just a little bit! One of these little eggs has 1 1/2 Tblsp of sugar A.K.A. " white gold";)

                Not sure if you can even consider this a "Nutritional" value!

 Since going Paleo, I was starting to feel like the Easter Bunny, eating spinach everyday.  My Mom was in town so we got out cooking on!  We made a big pot of soup!  We went through the store looking for pretty much any veggie out there that we thought could work in a soup.

Here's what we put in it:
3 cartons of the " Blue menu" low sodium chicken broth / 5 chicken breasts / 7 big carrots / 1/2 big turnip / 1 red pepper / 1 onion / 1 cup fresh mushrooms / 5 cups fresh spinach / 6 stalks of celery / 3 tblsp Curry powder / 1 tblsp Cumin /pinch of salt and pepper at the end.


I use the super low sodium broth...added flavour with the spices instead of using salt.  I find that once I start eating cleaner, my taste buds come back so I don't need the salt.  Get creative and add what ever you like for flavour.  It's quite a hearty soup and is great for freezing.  Always try to make extra of whatever you are cooking, so you don't eat the same foods all the time.  I get in a bad habit of doing that, then loose it and binge on crap!
