I MADE FIRE!!!!!!!!!

Remember this scene from the movie Castaway with Tom Hanks?  He is stuck on an island alone, the victim of a plane crash.  Great film.  While I can not fathom the mental strength needed to survive such a thing (Just ask Louie Zamperini.  Read my recent post about him.  HE'S amazing and he is NOT FICTITIOUS!), it's this scene that came to mind tonight when I was struggling to figure out what to do for dinner.  

I came home from work today and cooked up a bunch of sausage for morning breakfasts, and I steamed some broccoli for lunches.  While doing that, I noticed........nothing for dinner.  No meat thawed, but I have had plenty of meat today.  I needed to mix things up.  I knew we had a busy night.  The kids had dentist appointments.  I was going to Crossfit, and I had to hurry home so my wife could go to yoga soon after.  I was resigned and satisfied to have a salad for dinner and call it a night.  Then......in the depths of the freezer, our eyes met.  (Not my wife....she went to yoga, remember?!) 

THE SEAFOOD BLEND FROM TRADER JOE'S!!!!  

I had forgotten we had this, and I love this stuff!!!

My spirits were lifted because I knew I'd crave something more than rabbit food....er....salad after working out.  

I stir fried this in a wok with coconut oil.  Threw in some fresh mushrooms, bell peppers, fresh spinach and steamed broccoli.  Added fresh garlic and lemon pepper to taste!  A successful Paleo dinner.

YES!!!!!!

I MADE FIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRREE!!!!!!!!!

P.S. My Day 4 Paleo Journal is here.
