Spring Break = Time to Bake

In the last month or so, inspired by the gamers and some of my other fellow CrossFitters, I have tried to work towards eating a livable Paleo diet.  My personal struggles with Paleo come in the form of dairy and desserts.  So this week while I have had some time off I have been playing with some recipes to satisfy my sweet tooth.  Here is the easy pseudo Paleo Berry Crisp:

 Ingredients:

2 packages of frozen berries of your choice
¼ c honey
¾ c almond meal (can be purchased at Trader Joe’s)
½ c cashew meal (made my own in my food processor, can omit and just use almond meal)
¾ tsp cinnamon
½ c butter

Put frozen berries in a square glass dish and drizzle a little bit of honey on top.  In a bowl combine the honey, nut meal and cinnamon.  Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly; then scatter over fruit.

Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees 45 minutes – 1 hour or until berries are bubbly and topping is crisp.  Enjoy without guilt, the CrossFit Scottsdale Coaching team did on Monday night during our staff meeting :)

    Delicious Katie! I made a batch today with coconut oil instead of butter to make it a bit more Paleo and it worked great. It makes a good breakfast with some eggs on the side too.

        How do you feel about running? Do you love running and want to keep getting better and faster? Do you hate running and find it frustrating? In either case, the only way to improve is to KEEP RUNNING. Nobody gets better at anything by NOT doing it. Every great athlete at one point was the new guy, learning, fumbling and failing just like the rest of us. People who have achieved "mastery" don't ever stop the work, though. They exercise their "show up, don't quit" attitude over and over. A great way to make the "work" interesting is to put some "skin in the game" and to do it with a group of like-minded people. Which leads me to...the CrossFit Scottsdale 5K Challenge. Are you in?? Cost is $25.00 per participant. Sign up by emailing infor@CrossFitScottsdale.com or signing up at the gym.
