Fun Blog and Delish Lent Recipe

I love how I felt on Atkins; the low carb really works for me because I have no self control when you mix flour and sugar together in things like cupcakes or brownies, so it's best for me to avoid them.  Inevitably, I got bored and missed fruit, plus substituting Atkins bars and shakes for meals wasn't really great since it wasn't real food and has a lot of sugar alcohols.  Ew.  So, I decided to stick with the low carb and try a Paleo diet.  It definitely allows more freedom in some areas, but less in others.  

In researching Paleo recipes, I found this blog: paleomg.com.  This lady is funny and has good food...win-win.  The other day, she posted this recipe for Artichoke Lemon Pesto Chicken Pasta.  This recipe has changed my life-it was so easy and versatile.  It was amazing.  If I didn't know better, I would have thought it had cream or cheese or both in it.  I made this recipe on a Friday in Lent, so I substituted shrimp for the chicken.  Also, I don't remember putting lemon in this, so I think it's safe to say that I forgot that part.  But I bet it would be even more delicious.  Go, make it!  Let me know what you think!

Sassily Yours,
