Paleo recipes
I thought I'd start this thread so we can share our fav recipes/links to them... of course I don't have my favorites with me on hand, but definitely have a few go-to dishes.
My favorite post-workout snack or breakfast is acorn squash "oatmeal":
roast half a squash (I usually roast one or 2 at a time), and when you can handle the squash scoop the insides into a bowl. Add the following:
1 Tbsp almond butter
1 tsp cinammon
--mix well!

2 cups of almond flour (1 used 1.5 cups almond flour + 1/2 cup of coconut milk, but that was because I ran out of almond flour. Mix in 2 eggs and 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/4 tsp of baking soda. I had no soda, so I left it out.
Form the dough into a ball. Take a pizza pan and put some olive oil on it. Put olive oil on your hands and then push the dough slowly out to the sides. It should be very thin. I had enough dough to make a regular size pizza.
It said to put the dough in the oven at 325 for 20 minutes. I did that, but for 15 minutes and half way through I flipped the crust. The edges did burn a bit, but just the edges.
I then put pizza sauce, chicken, red pepper, mushrooms, olives and kale on top. I swtiched the oven setting to broil, and I baked it in the oven for 30 minutes.
I was suprised that the crust did not brown up anymore than from the original cooking, so next time i will try the broil setting from the onset and leave it in for 20 minutes as suggested. The crust is easy to cut and like a thin crust pizza.
I think this crust would be great to make crackers out of to. You could put in whatever spices you like. Anyway, I really enjoyed it. Had to leave some for Steve when he gets home, but have to admit that I could of eaten the whole pizza myself. Yummo
Had to add a batch of steamed brocolli to my plate so I would not eat the whole pizza. Hope someone tries it and lets me know how it turns out for them.
Brenda, I read the recipe and ran to my shelves and pulled out the bag of almond meal I hadn't used. I used 2 cups and the soda as I had plenty of each. I baked the crust 20 min at 325 on a pizza stone without turing and it only browned on the edges. I then put sauce, fresh basil and spinach, peppers, red onion and chicken and broilded for the 30 min. It didn't brown much, as you said, but was very good. And, I nibbled the crust as a cracker so agree it could be a snack all on its own. Good find!
That looks gooood. Gotta get my DW to make it!
Enjoy.
I found a recipe for a spaghetti bolognese that I LOVE... will add that here when I find it. And a stuffed chicken (had the leftovers for lunch)... I'll say one thing, I do not going hungry doing the whole 30!
Its a very light sauce so would be nice to use as a sauce for spahetti squash perhaps?
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 cup canned coconut milk or coconut cream concentrate (I used coconut milk)
1/2 cup apple sauce
juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 tbsp of fish sauce (I omitted this, because I did not have any, so I put in 1 tbsp of braggs)
1 1/2 tsp of grated ginger
1/2 tsp of crushed garlic (I grated mine)
Hot chili oil to taste (did not have any, but would of added it had I had some)
Wish all ingrediants together in a medium size bowl and serve as a dipping sauce or over your favourite seafood or chicken. I really enjoyed it. Hope you will as well.
Paleo Tuna Recipe: Looking for a new twist on tuna salad? Try a Mediterranean tuna.
Mix one can light tuna (canned in water) with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, cracked black pepper and 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion and parsley leaves. Add sliced tomatoes and a few sliced kalamata olives.
I like to serve this in rolled up Bibb lettuce leaves, or just shovel it into my pie hole as is! Yummy
Crock Pot Apple Sauce
8 spartan apples, cored, but not peeled.
1 tbsp of allspice
1 tbsp of cinnamon
1/2 cup of apple juice, but water would work just fine
Yummy Sunday dinner for a cold day in OTown (-31c)
3 Tbs coconut oil
1/4 cup carob powder or cocoa (optional)
1/2 cup ground nuts (almonds, hazelnuts)
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 Tbs raw honey (optional, add more to taste)
parchment paper
1.Melt the honey and coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
2.Once combined, add the carob, ground nuts and coconut and mix together.
3.Pour mixture onto a small baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Form into a square when cool enough to touch.
4.Refrigerate until hardened. Cut into 4 servings.
3lbs of ground beef
1 cup of finely diced red onion (1.5 medium)
1 cup of finely chopped apple (2 medium)
1 egg ( I used two)
2 tbsp of curry powder
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400. Place all ingredients in bowl and mix. Form meatballs just a little bigger than golf ball (I used an icecream scoop to ensure uniformity). Back in oven for 25 minutes.
While the balls are in the oven, make the following sauce
2 tbsp of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of crushed garlic (i used one medium clove)
1 tbsp of raw honey (optional - I used it)
1 tbsp of curry powder
2 tbsp of tomato paste
1/2 cup of chicken broth (I used beef broth. Would probably use chicken broth if the balls were made out of chicken or turkey)
In a large skillet saute the garlic in the oil over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, then add the honey, curry powder, tomatoe paste and wish together. Add the broth and continue to wisk until smooth. Bring to a simmer. After meatballs come out of the oven, poor the sauce over the balls and put back in the oven for 5-10 minutes. Serves 6-7. I am sure they will freeze nicely as well.
I served them with zucchini noodles and flash fryed collard greens for me. Hubby had mashed potatoe and steamed brocolli. This is a keeper. In fact I would double the sauce recipe. It was very yummy. It tasted like a sweat bbq sauce. It would be good as well with a little cayenne pepper or smoked paprika me thinks. Let me know if you try it and like it.
Robin - I loved your coconut custard. Will be trying many of your receipes you posted in your website. Thank you Ladies!
