NEW VIDEO!!! If you are trying to eat super healthy, this dish will blow you away with how unbelievably flavorful and satisfying it is! Paleo, Whole30 friendly, Gluten, Dairy and Egg-Free!

***FYI: This is an update of an old post, (I added a video because I love the recipe so much!) so the post below is a throwback and from over a year ago!

Wow what a loooong weekend. Pia and I made it to Beaverton and back in one piece! We had two days on the fencing circuit and Pia took home a 5th place medal in the Y10 division, and had quite an experience fencing in the Y12 division against mostly 7th graders that were pretty much the same size as me (I’m not a small person!) Her eyes were round as saucers when she realized she was fencing these girls (she is a pretty small 9 year old) but I was really impressed with how she handled herself, knowing that it was all about the process and that she was there to learn. In all, it was a great experience and I am so glad that I took her down there.

I came home to a flurry of baking, cooking dinner and helping the girls work on a star of the week poster (Coco) and a solar system project (Pia). I am worked. Like SO tired. I’m going to Vegas in 10 days, and my mom break can NOT come soon enough!

Ok, also, you know the drill when you are traveling, road tripping- anything like that where you are out of your usual routine and prone to massive snacking (like I ate 12 Kind bars this weekend. Seriously. I think I had 12) – you just want to get back into a healthy way of living. So I am kicking my Monday off with this delicious Asian Sweet Potato Noodles with Pork Ginger Meatballs. I made this a few weeks ago, and it was honestly so good that I have made it once since then and am making it tonight for dinner. It’s so incredibly flavorful and I love how high in protein it is, not to mention healthy!! This dish (as always) is GF, dairy and egg free and Paleo and Whole30 friendly. Enjoy!
