Recipe of the Week
 Peach Summer Soup

A cold soup is a good starter for dinner in the warmer weather. This recipe uses an interesting combination of peaches and tomatoes. It only takes about fifteen minutes to make this gazpacho. Pack it up and bring it to the beach or a barbeque.

CrossFit + Paleo = 1 tough master's lifter

I talked to the G-man yesterday and he said he has no plans for burpees the rest of the week.  After Monday's and Tuesday's version, today's should be a breeze.  He assured me there was no need to worry about burpee broad jumps, inverted burpees, burpee wallballs, lateral-jump burpees, tuck-jump burpees, one-arm burpees, dumbbell burpees, muscle-ups burpees, etc., etc, being programmed.  Since there is a probability that burpees will be programmed during the Open Sectionals, he won't make any promises about next week.

5:00 Double Under practice
deadlift warm-up w/light weight

MOD (after the WOD today)
Dips, dips and more dips.  Box or bench or rings
If you have ring dips, superset with box or bench to failure

Recipe of the Week
Tuna Cup

This is a great meal that was recommended by Rudy, a member of CrossFit Beaufort. I made it for our lunch today with the apples and no cheese, and put it on top of salad greens with a cider vinegar and olive oil dressing. If you are adding the avocado, squeeze a little lemon or lime on it so that it doesn’t turn brown. Double or triple the recipe and divide into containers for other quick meals during the week. The recipe is on my Make Mine Paleo blog.

Congratulations to everyone who ran the 5K and 8K Twilight Run yesterday. Paleo oysters and chicken, along with a little beverage made for a fun evening!

Nutty Red Pepper Dip – a blend of walnuts and roasted red peppers
Chipotle Eggplant Dip – grilled eggplant with chipotle peppers and adobo sauce


Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and check out “Make Mine Paleo” by clicking here for these recipes and others that can help you plan your Sunday night dinner.
