Secondly, Who likes Chicken wings? I do, and they are really easy to make, and are great to eat while watching your favorite sporting event or soap opera. Here is my quick recipe:
- Obtain 2 to 4 pounds of Chicken wings.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees
- Liberally season chicken wings with salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder.
- Cook for 40 minutes total. Twenty minutes per side.
- Pull Chicken wings directly from the oven and put into a giant bowl.
- Add a generous helping of duck fat on top of the steaming hot Chicken wings. You can also use coconut oil, lard, or butter.
- Add hot sauce to taste and toss.
Y'know, as someone who has contributed to the fail posts, I agree with this statement. Let's see some more success stories.
ReplyDeleteThe challenge is that the failures are the exceptions (at least for me) and as a result that's what seems to make them worth remarking on.
How do we frame success when (for me) this is an ongoing lifestyle shift? Is this a failing on my part? I don't have any interest in limiting positive changes in diet and performance to 6 weeks and as a result haven't been focusing on weathering a rigid 6 week window.
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I think of the day to day paleo eating as a "success". This whole event will only be a success in my eyes if I achieve my goals, losing body-fat% and gaining lean muscle mass. So I'm not really sure what success stories you're looking for. Did I stay paleo of thanksgiving, yes (except for a small sliver of pie to pacify a upset grandma who didn't understand paleo and was beginning to take offense). However is that really a success if it doesn't help me towards my goals? The success or failure of this "story" will be determined at the end during the weighing.
ReplyDeletealso recipe sounds awesome
ReplyDeleteTwo things:
ReplyDelete1. The recipe does sound awesome.
2. My first comments make sound like a bit of a whiner and focus on the negative rather than the positive. I'm going to do my best from here on out to focus on the positive.
For an extra crispy touch to the wings, I like to throw them back in the oven, but on broil for 3-5 minutes after they are tossed in fat and sauce. I enjoy extra crispy.
ReplyDeleteThese are good.
I like the posts when people fail and then decide to get back on. Eating "paleo" is tough especially during the holiday seasons, when you travel and have no means to cook for yourself, at work, etc.
As someone who has been "bad" I also like to see that other people have had struggles but can continue to see the benefit of being on the wagon, just as I have. I agree with Ashley, eating paleo WAS really tough when I was traveling and had other people (that I couldn't make demands to) cook for me. But honestly, it WASN'T worth it and I felt like crap after eating non paleo. i am back on and felt way better immediately.
ReplyDeleteHow much is Ronald pressing?
ReplyDeleteDoogie,
ReplyDeleteSorry to be a downer. As a life-long Catholic, my guilt got to me and drove my long failure post. It's been a VERY long time since my last confession, and I have to say that it felt good to get it all off my chest. This week has been much better! The big pot of meatballs and tomato sauce that I made on Sat has been getting a bit tiring, though. Next time, I'll freeze half right away.
@Ashley looks like a solid 65-95lbs. Ronald has got to keep his elbows tucked though. With that form he looks like a fucking clown.
