Southwest breakfast scramble

Good morning! I've never really been a breakfast fan, I'm never really been an egg fan...as long as something is mixed into my eggs I will eat them! Last night for dinner we had stuffed bell peppers, and I have a little bit of ground beef leftover, so after my workout I threw the ground beef in a pan let it get warm put my eggs in one time and tell they were done added some guacamole and salsa. Bam! You have yourself a Southwest breakfast scramble! 

Dinner idea

I have to admit sometimes it's hard to come up with dinner ideas because my family isn't on the whole Paleo idea (yet)

My husband is okay with eating meat and a veggie but always wants something else on the side, I just always skip that something else. The other night I made salmon and asparagus, it was so good! 

Excuse me while I rant...

I just tried for my third attempt to make Paleo pancakes... Fail!!!! They didn't taste good, and they didn't look good. Every part of me wants to go eat everything bad for me! 

I apologize for the rant but I am human and a woman, I started this whole Paleo diet because of my thyroid. I have struggled for years to lose weight and was told Paleo was the way to not only lose weight but get my thyroid function on track. 

I came across a list of non-friendly thyroid foods (some of which I already knew) but did want to share!

Veggies

•Broccoli

•Brussels sprouts

•Cabbage

•Cauliflower

•Kale

•kohlrabi 

•Mustard greens

•Pinenuts

Kale chips

This is new to us! I've seen lots of ways to make these, I used garlic and chili powder with some extra virgin olive oil and then turned on the oven to 400° let it pre heat and then turned it off and put in the cookie sheets for about 20 minutes
