PlanetBox Lunchbox Review & PlanetBox GIVEAWAY!!!

March 2, 2013 by Jackie Ritz

…and the winner is……….. Lisa D. Lisa you have been notified!!! Congrats and thank you everyone for entering!!!

 

I can’t say enough good things about the PlanetBox lunchbox. And if you follow me on Facebook, then you see all the healthy lunches I post using our PlanetBox lunchboxes. They are an eco-friendly way of packing healthy lunches for your kids…and even for yourself! The PlanetBox is made of stainless steel which doesn’t smell, doesn’t stain, and doesn’t have any toxic chemicals in it. It’s so easy to clean and it’s also dishwasher safe. The little compartments are the perfect size for little hands to reach in and grab something healthy.

I love making my daughter’s lunches so much that I created a Pinterest page that has pictures of all the different, healthy lunches that I make. My daughter has The Rover PlanetBox. It comes with a large, stainless steel bowl and a smaller bowl. Here’s a few of my daughter’s lunches I have made with The Rover PlanetBox:

See the big dipper bowl and the little dipper bowl? They don't leak AT ALL!

Not too long ago, PlanetBox announced that they had created a larger lunchbox for those with bigger appetites and larger serving sizes. The PlanetBox Launch system is 30% bigger than the Rover and has a tall, stainless steel dipper for dips and sauces, a magnet set for the outside, a glass Satellite Dish for re-heating foods, as well as a really neat carry bag.

PlanetBox gave me this Launch System to use and review and, let me tell you, I am in LOVE! I have been so caught up in making food fun for my daughter, I didn’t know making food fun for me would be so exciting! If you work and pack a lunch, have older kids who eat a little bit more, or pack a lunch for the hubby…this is the lunchbox for you. PlanetBox, also, recently launched a Plan-It-Box, which is a web-based app meal planner.  This meal planner is awesome and it lets you share your lunches with other users and get ideas to plan healthy lunches for your kids!

Let me show you a few things I love about this new Launch PlanetBox…

It comes in a cute carry bag that you can swing across your body.

Well Fed Cookbook Giveaway (CLOSED) & Jicama Home Fries Recipe!!!

February 5, 2013 by Jackie Ritz

wellfedheader1

I don’t know if I’m more excited about the fact that the author, Melissa Joulwan, has offered to give this amazing cookbook away to one of you, or the fact that I get to share my favorite Paleo recipes with you! Well Fed: Paleo Recipes for People Who Love to Eat is AWESOME! This is, by far, one of my favorite Paleo cookbooks!

Not only is it Paleo, but this cookbook is features tons of recipes that are Whole30 & 21 Day Sugar Detox approved! It is loaded with so many recipes and has opened up my tastebuds to a whole new world!

Some of my favorites (and I have pretty much made EVERYTHING from this cookbook) are Chocolate Chili, Meatza Pie, and her Meat and Spinach Muffins. Seriously, I could go on and on! However, my absolute favorite recipe that has rocked my Paleo world is the Jicama Home Fries!

Jicama Home Fries:

Diner home fries don’t discriminate. Their brown, crisp outside and warm tender interior are equally comfortable alongside eggs for an early morning (or midnight) breakfast and next to a beef burger. Seasoned with plenty of salt and just a whisper of paprika, these home fries transform jicama, the “Mexican potato,” into an all-American classic.

NOTE: This recipe requires you to pre-soak the jicama for 12-24 hours, so you’ll need to start the process the day before you want to eat.

SOAK 12-24 hours

PREP 5 minutes

COOK 20 minutes

SERVES 2

INGREDIENTS

The jicama:

1 pounds jicama

1/2 teaspoon salt

The home fries: 1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)

1/2 tablespoon plus 2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)

DIRECTIONS The jicama: Cut the jicama into 1/2-inch dice. Whether or not to peel it is up to you; I usually peel half and leave the skin on half to better impersonate a potato. When you’re done chopping, you should have about 3 cups of cubes. Place the jicama and salt in a slow cooker and add enough water to cover the jicama by about 2 inches. Cover and cook on high for 12-24 hours. The longer it simmers, the more tender it becomes.

When the jicama has finished its soak, drain, pat dry, and place in the refrigerator until you’re ready to start frying.

The home fries: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes. Add coconut oil and allow it to melt. Toss the onion in the pan and sauté, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. Cook until nicely browned, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the onion to a small bowl and return the pan to the heat.

Add 2 tablespoons coconut oil to the skillet and allow the pan to get hot, about 2 minutes. Add the jicama cubes, shaking the skillet to make an even, single layer. Cook the jicama without stirring until the cubes are golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes, then carefully flip the jicama with a large spatula and make another single layer. Repeat this process until the jicama is browned on most sides, about 15 minutes.

When the jicama is appropriately toasty in color, add the onions, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir to blend and heat through. Remove the home fries from the heat, stir in the parsley, and serve immediately.

Enjoy!

Weekend Giveaway: eMeals 3-Month Dinner Meal Planner (closed)

January 25, 2013 by Jackie Ritz 41 Comments


As you may know, I am a huge fan of using meal planning as a way to say time, money, and stress! Eating Paleo can be very difficult when you are just starting out…heck, it can be difficult when you are, somewhat, of a Paleo veteran like me!

In comes my new, best friend and meal plan savior, eMeals.com! I signed up for eMeals.com at the beginning of the New Year and it has definitely solved the dinnertime dilemma and made my life a whole lot easier.

How does eMeals.com work?

What plans does eMeals.com offer?

They offer a wide variety of plans, but, of course, I show favors to the Paleo plan!

emeals plans

My review of eMeals.com:

I absolutely love the Paleo eMeals.com meal plan. I receive 7 dinners every week and an attached shopping list. It’s a no-brainer! I print out the meal plan and shopping list and stick the menu on my fridge. With the Paleo plan there has been about 2 crockpot meals every week and a nice variety of proteins (fish, pork, beef, chicken, and eggs). There is one side dish included in each meal and I am very happy to say that my kids have done great tasting the new vegetables and dishes that eMeals has sent me. If you follow me on my Facebook page, I, frequently, post our eMeals Paleo dinners!

Here are a few of the meals that I have made from the eMeals.com Paleo version:

Crockpot Harissa Pork Shoulder with Sun Dried Tomatoe Salad
