This week I went to a CrossFit party. Not just any CrossFit party, a CrossFit Saint Louis Endurance Style Paleo Potluck Party. Try saying that five times fast. A couple months ago I had to stop attending my favorite CF class due to health reasons. I left the comfort of my endurance girls and started driving 20 minutes to a new box that was air conditioned (evidently one is less likely to faint in air conditioning, who knew?!). I found a great new community, but I think you always leave a little piece of your heart with the people who you WODed it up with when you were a newbie. The trainer who facilitates the class is one of the most motivating coaches I've ever worked with, and she also happens to know how to throw quite a party.

Beautiful table, amazing people, and delicious food. I love going to dinner parties where no one judges me for turning down the dairy and gluten :-) My contribution to the potluck was
Bacon Guacamole and Plantain Chips:
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 medium firm tomato
- 3/4 large white onion
- fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

Cook bacon on a cookie sheet at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes, until crispy. Mix all ingredients by hand. Plantain chips are from Trader Joes!
