Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
It's that time of year again! Crank up the holiday tunes and pass the peppermint mochas it's time for my 2017 Gift Guide!
I've decided to do something just a little bit different this year. This year I'm completely focused on those iconic, must-have, truly cannot go wrong gifts that are readily available on Amazon. I really wanted to narrow my list down to just a handful of really great gifts. Well, I have agonized over my suggestions, and I truly believe you cannot go wrong with anything from my gift guide this year!
Kitchen Gifts
Kitchenaid 5 Quart Stand Mixer
Nothing says I Love You like Kitchenaid. Just sayin'. I don't know many women (and lots of men) who wouldn't love and really use this gift. It's truly the top iconic kitchen gift. Pro tip: you're going to want to be sure and pick a color that goes with their kitchen.
Instant Pot Ultra
Everyone's mother's sister's dog's aunt's neighbor wants an Instant Pot. They really are all the rage, and for good reason. I was resistant at first, but I'll admit it's in my Amazon wish list right now and I'll be buying this exact model soon. It has the most features and seems like the best model to me. It doesn't have the bluetooth, but that model seems to be lacking some key things to me, so definitely this one.
Vitamix Ascent 2300
You cannot go wrong with a Vitamix. Diamonds? Pffft, Vitamix is a girl's best friend. They're just another one of those truly iconic kitchen items that virtually anyone will use and love. This is the model I have picked out for myself and I really think it's the best balance of features and cost. Plus, not going to lie, I just love the look of it.
Fitness Splurges
Concept2 Model D
I have researched rowers for a year now because we're looking to buy one and Concept2 is hands down my pick for best rower buy. They consistently get the best reviews on all platforms (I don't just trust Amazon reviews these days) and are just good solid machines. This is the model I'll be buying. Rowers are an amazing cardio option for those who don't want the impact of a treadmill or are simply looking to shake things up.
NordicTrack C 990 Treadmill
OK, there's a million treadmills on Amazon. I chose this one because, first NordicTrack is a great, reliable name, and second the features. The C 990 has everything I think a good treadmill should have:
How about you, which one would you most love to receive this year??
NordicTrack C 990 Treadmill
