Days 15 to 18 ~ plodding along

Well it's been awhile since I have posted anything but to tell the truth things are just trundling along. Eating following challenge guidelines doesn't seem to be daunting and even cravings when they come pass just as quickly. The sloths had their regular pizza night and I had no urge to join them, possibly because it was 'cheap ass' Tuesday and their pizza of choice was of the Dominos variety. Now an Il Forno pizza may have been a different matter. Training once again has been hit and miss due to work hopefully this is something I can pull together as it is frustrating, though still no training tonight due to a massage with Sonja that has left me feeling as though I have been run down by a freight train ...... I will keep with my mantra " this pain is good ...."
Whilst trolling for recipes and inspiration on the myriad of paleo foodie sites I found the following recipe for Meatloaf Muffins with Sweet Potato Icing. I plan to make a double batch for the sloths lunch boxes and to have on hand to snack on .
The Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb of minced beef * about 750 grams
1 apple, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 eggs
1/2 cup of Almond meal
basil
nutmeg
garlic powder
*21 seasoning salute

6 small sweet potatoes
nutmeg
cinnamon

The Directions:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Poke holes in the sweet potatoes and bake for 30 minutes or until tender.
Set aside and let cool.
In a large bowl add apple and red bell pepper. Mix in 2 eggs and mix well. Add ground beef and Almond meal and mix well with your hands! Add seasonings. I forgot to add tomato sauce or tomato paste but the flavor was great without.
In muffin tins add meatloaf mixture. My meat filled 12 tins exactly. Bake for 20 minutes or until meatloaf is done. While they are in the oven scoop out the center of the sweet potatoes and mash with a fork. Add cinnamon and nutmeg and mix a little more. Add the sweet potato mixture into a baggie and cut off one corner (just like if you were going to add icing to something) and top the meatloaf muffins with the sweet potato.

*I am not sure what 21 seasoning salute is but I m sure you could substitute your own mix of spices. Also substituting chicken, pork or lamb mince would also work.
