Well these were stupid hard to get a picture of. And I wanted to eat. So I gave up pretty quickly on making the picture look better. My bad. Just trust me that these little wraps are delicious. You’ll never miss sandwich bread again. Or bagels. Gosh I love me a bagel sandwich.
I’m so excited to leave for Austin to Paleofx in 2 days! Paleofx is like a huge paleo family reunion. I haven’t seen some of these people in seriously a year, since the last one. I’m not a huge fan of listening to the panels, probably because I get anxiety about people throwing up their opinions all over the place, so I’ll probably spend most of my time outside of the venue. Meaning in restaurants and hopefully shops. You always have to shop on vacation, right? Right. Anywho, I plan on trying as many restaurants as possible. I had a couple bad experiences last year, so this time I plan on figuring out all my own restaurants. I will absolutely be going to 24 Diner (we already planned lunch/dinner there for our first night) and La Barbecue which is one of the best bbq food trucks I’ve ever come across. Oh, and Jeni’s Ice Cream. Obviously. But that’s all I really have planned. Do you know of any amazing restaurants in Austin, TX?? Please give me all the advice in the world, pretty please!!
Oh duh, I’ll also be going to a CrossFit gym. I think I’ll only go once, mostly because I’d rather pack pretty clothes than workout clothes, but I’m pretty excited to try a new gym! Looks like I’ll be heading to Fortitude Fitness-Crossfit 78702. That’s quite a name. But I heard from someone lovely that they will have a really good workout planned for the weekend, so I’m in. Gotta keep up with my fitness while I’m stuffing my face.
Speaking of CrossFit, I totally forgot to tell you guys. This workout below truly sucked the big one. I like to talk about random super hard workouts so other people can try them that don’t go to my gym, CrossFit Broadway. It was absolutely miserable. I love workouts like that. I wish they came around always once a week. It felt pretty similar to 14.5. Check, check, check, check it out:
4 x 5 min AMRAPS Of: ( 2 min rest between)
400 m Run
then AMRAP Of,
5 Power Snatch (135/95)
12 Pull Ups
Speaking of things that are adorable. Oh wait, I wasn’t talking about adorable things. Who cares, it’s time for Jackson’s close up!! Excuse his birthday suit. He doesn’t understand that we don’t fling those things around at the gym. At least he crossed his legs.

That workout does sound brutal! I wish we had Applegate Farms in Canada – so hard to find legit deli meat.
Grimms, freybe, and schniders country naturals are the best ones I’ve found in Canada!
Talk to your local butcher. I’m in Ontario, and mine makes a lot of gluten etc. free stuff like sausage, keilbassa. When I asked about pepperoni he said ‘sure’ and makes it regularly now.
I use Dietz & Watson turkey breast and ham. It doesn’t have Carrageenan in it like Applegate does. D&W has no artificial colors, flavors, fillers, or MSG. They also do not use any corn syrup solids as an extender in their meats.
Where do you get the deli meat without carrageenan?
Ahh I love Austin! For amazing burgers try HopDoddy (warning though there is ALWAYS a line to get in), also try Juiceland it is delicious. Hope this helps!
Picnik food trailer on South Lamar! They are all paleo and the food is fantastic. Just a block or two north of Lick. I don’t know if Lick had coconut milk ice creams when you were last here, but they do now, along with the grass-fed dairy stuff.
Agreed that Picnik is probably your best bet for great Paleo! They were featured in the Oct/Nov 2013 issue of Paleo Magazine! Also, since you’re not strict paleo, Uchi (if you’re into sushi) and Foreign & Domestic are AMAZING!! Have a blast! Austin is one of the best cities for being a foodie!!
So happy you’ll be in my neck of the woods! Austin is amazing! I would also have to suggest Picnik. Also Gordough’s if you want to be bad…it’s worth it 🙂 Wish I could go to PaleoFX to meet you in person, girl!
How many of these would you call a serving?? 2? 3?
it says in the recipe, serves 1. so the 2 lettuce wraps serves 1 person
Llamas Peruvian food truck has an amazing ceviche. It’s located in downtown, on 7th and trinity. For dessert, although I like Jeni’s a lot, try Amy’s ice cream – they have the best Mexican vanilla ice cream I’ve ever had in my life, not Paleo at all but it’s delicious.
Austin is my favorite city! Not all of these are Paleo, but…
Frank is fun for apps and adult beverages, Uchi is delicious, Paul Qui’s East Side King truck or his new restaurant Qui, La Condesa, Sway, Franklin BBQ (if you feel like standing in line for two+ hours which I never do but his stuff is delicious), Barley Swine, Kerbey Lane, Foreign & Domestic (nose-to-tail eating, local sourcing, out of this world desserts)…I could go on forever. Seriously good eating going on in Austin.
Picnik like people have said above is basically the best thing ever!! You have to try the blondies and the mocha chocolatte, dirty chai or the yeti! So stinkin good! Also there is a new gelato place called Dolce Neve on S 1st and Annie St that uses local grass fed dairy, and they moved here straight from Italy. Not strict paleo, obviously, but it’s AMAZING!
Kerbey Lane is amazing for breakfast! Definitely worth checking out. Have fun in Austin 🙂
Where did you get little Jackson?
