Whole30, Paleo & Good REAL Food

BROCCOLI SALAD

by

Oldie but a Goodie! My grandma has been making this salad for years! With a few alterations I made it Paleo and whole30 friendly. My 3 year old made me pick out the onions but other than that she devoured it…the sweet dressing helps 😉 1 large head of broccoli or 3 small, (cut tops off and chop florets into bite sized pieces), 1/2 diced red onion, 5-6 crispy pieces of crumbled bacon, 1 diced Apple, 2 handfuls of raisins, 2 handfuls of roasted chopped almonds. Dressing: 1 cup of paleo mayo >> recipe: #coconuttyspaleomayo mixed with 1 tbsp of Apple cider vinegar and 2 dates or 1 tbsp of date paste. Blend it up in your @blendtec . Add to salad depending on how much dressing you like 😉 I like a lot!

 

Sweet Potato Crust Pizza

by

The weekend is the perfect time to make pizza with your kids instead of grabbing a hot-n-ready! This is fast, easy and kid approved (my 8 & 10 yr old cousins said it was the most interesting/best pizza they ever had). The crust is shredded sweet potato (food processor to save time) 1-2 eggs. Press into a greased pan and cook at 375• for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and add toppings. Cook for another 15 mins. Put on desired toppings.

 

THAI BUTTERNUT SQUASH CURRY

by

Let me paint a picture so you know how good this curry was… My husband and I LOVE Thai Curry, so when I was a child bride-I mean newlywed, I pulled out my better homes and gardens cookbook found a curry and cooked it up. We decided it was good but how do I make it taste more soupy and more like the restaurant? After a loooong cooking learning curve, an average attempt of one per year, fast forward 8 years to last night and I’m not gonna lie this is better than any Thai restaurant. Plus I loaded it up with veggies which makes it perfect. It’s spicy, sweet and oh so delicious.
 
Serves 4: 2 cooked chicken breasts, cubed butternut squash cooked till fork tender (get the kind from Costco that’s already cut up to save time) 1 red or green pepper, 1 green chile pepper 1 hot pepper of choice ( I used cayenne, Serrano or jalapeño would be a good choice too) 2 cloves garlic, half an onion, 4-5 baby carrots, 1 can of pineapple chunks in 100% pineapple juice, cilantro, 3 tbsp yellow curry powder, 1 tsp chile powder, 1 lime, 1 can full fat coconut milk, 2 tsp chicken bouillon. Cauliflower rice. To save time I used my food prepped chicken and precut butternut squash. First: cook your cauliflower rice, butternut squash and chicken if needed. Chop up peppers. In a food processor add garlic, carrots and 1/2 yellow onion. In a large frying pan cook peppers, carrots and onions in 3 tbsp EVOO or avocado oil till tender but not super soft. Remove from pan and mix spices with chicken bouillon paste, add coconut milk and all the juice from pineapple can and most of the pineapple add juice of 1 lime and cilantro roots (10) Bring to boil and add sliced chicken and butternut squash. Simmer on low for 10 mins till chicken is heated through. Add peppers and cook for 5 mins. Serve over cauliflower rice or rice of choice. Garnish with cilantro.

 

COCONUT HONEY BUTTER

by

I attempted to make some clean, gluten free (because gluten has NOT been my friend lately) pumpkin muffins and they turned okay good but not great, buuuut this coconut honey “butter” was its saving grace. So easy and tasty! 1/2 coconut oil, 4 tbsp honey, small sprinkle of salt. Mix with electric mixer until whipped. Whip it good!

 

Paleo Protein Cookies

by

Paleo Protein Cookies. These “cookies” are packed with all sorts of goodness so you feel great about eating them for breakfast. My aunt sent me this recipe and said she crumbles it up and uses it as a granola or cereal for her kids. My family LOVES them especially frozen because i think it hardens all the textures so its more uniform and my 3 year old doesn’t complain about the seeds (Pumpkin seeds) the hubs asked if we could have these in our house all the time…if i can stop at eating 4 a day than maybe!
