Sometimes it’s hard to go to the gym. Work stress creeps in. Obligations begin to take over. Maybe a nagging injury flares. I know I have my excuses.

After I met Joe Fonseca I started to suck it up a bit more. Joe is a father, coach, adaptive athlete, and gym owner. Arguably, he faces more challenges on a daily basis than many of us can fathom. That is why, when my 4:45am alarm goes off and I want to turn it off (or throw it, take your pick), I have begun to think, “Nope. Joe is up. I’d better be up, too.”

This is a guest recipe from Caitlin Weeks, a holistic nutritionist, author and creator of the wellness hub Grassfedgirl.com.

This recipe combines the benefits of resistant starch and the deliciousness of a classic potato salad. You’ll love this (easy) Primal upgrade to a barbecue favorite!

Servings: 4 to 6

Prep time: 20 minutes plus 8 hours inactive

Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• Sea salt and pepper
• 8 medium potatoes
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup Primal Kitchen™ Mayo or homemade
• 2 tablespoons mustard (gluten free)
• 1 bunch green onions
• 4 boiled eggs

Directions:

Peel the potatoes if desired. Cut into bite sized pieces. Boil them with a few pinches of salt until barely cooked and then drain. Set potatoes aside until cool. Place them in a bowl, cover, and chill overnight (must do this step for resistant starch to occur).

In the morning, add the salt and pepper liberally with the mayo and mustard. Slice the green onions and chop the eggs and add them (only use green tips for low fodmap). Mix everything together and adjust seasonings to taste.

Serve and enjoy!
