Check this out!  This was passed along from Chris Cav regarding the effect of aerobic activity on young brains.  THAT's why CFNE Kids are so brilliant ;)  Thanks for sharing with us, Chris!

Daigle's Steak Tips Recipe

Protein's tough with kids, right?  But, how many of you guys out there don't like steak tips???  Come on now, seriously.  They're amazing, and the recipe was passed down to me from the mad-scientist chef, Kevin Daigle...our very own coach and fire breathing back squatter.  He brought these over to our Boston Marathon party this year, and it was love at first bite.  
This recipe is marinating right this very second in our fridge for tomorrow night.  That's right, dewds: 36 hours out.  Supposedly, the longer these puppies marinate, the better they are.  Check it out.

- 3-4 lbs sirloin steak tips (preferably grass fed!)

- 1/3 cup Olive oil

- 2/3 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce (or other cayenne pepper sauce)

- 2 tsp black pepper

- 2 tsp Oregano

- 2 tsp Basil

- 2 tsp minced garlic

1. Heat a small amount of the olive oil (enough to cover the skillet) in a small skillet over medium heat, add the garlic and spices.  Stir often browning the minced garlic (don't burn it). 

2. Remove from heat, and combine oil and spices with the rest of the olive oil, and Redhot...mix well.  A container that allows shaking is a good idea, it mixes better.

3. Add steak tips to Tupperware container, and a douse in marinade.....leave in the fridge over night, shaking container every 2-6 hours.

4. Grill Steak tips to desired doneness.  Discard marinade.

My current CGEO (Can't-Get-Enough-Of) Website: www.EveryDayPaleo.com

I'm sitting my lazy butt here at Starbuck's "celebrating" the first day of school...BY MY SELF...and, LOVING every second of it :)  Point being, that I'm happily getting side-tracked by looking up some information to share with you guys on kicking off the CFNE Kids Paleo Challenge.  Here's what my current CGEO website: http://everydaypaleo.com/.  This one is just a great all-around site for those of us following the Paleo way-of-life, and is written by a woman (I don't even know her name) who is not only a CrossFit coach and mother of three, but literally writes the words that have came out of my mouth for years!  It's like I've found my Paleo soul-sister.  Crazy.


More specifically, here are a couple of links that are specific to kids and how to make the day-to-day actually work:

September Contest: Paleo Cooking Show

Wanna' win a free CFNE Kids tee?  Submit a video of your own cooking show!  Decide on your favorite Paleo snack or meal and show us how to make it.  


Things to think about:
1. Keep it simple and easy.  Remember we're not all Rachel Ray!  Don't ACT like you don't know who she is.
2. Keep it clean.  It IS supposed to be Paleo.  Make sure your parents double-check your ingredients :)
3. Make it FUN & CREATIVE.  Watch a few cooking shows and figure out what you think makes it fun to watch.  Maybe invite a few friends in on your video or show us a cool way to serve your food.  This is where you can get your edge on this competition!
4. The shorter the better.  Attention spans, people.  They're in limited supply!
5. Taste is everything!  Your show may be amazing, but if it tastes grose-a-mundo...we're haven't really gotten anywhere.


All submissions are due by 12AM (EST), October 1st.  HOWEVER, the earlier the better as we will be posting videos as they come in!  NO LIMIT on how many entries you make, too.  So, feel free to try a few of your favorites!
