Shredded Pork Salad

crio bru recipes

This shredded pork on its own is amazing but with the sweet cilantro lime dressing on top of a salad it is over the top! The secret ingredient to my shredded pork is Maya flavored CRIO BRU (it is roasted coco beans) it just adds an amazing depth of flavor!

After dinner my husband was eating the pork straight out of the crock pot and liking the salad dressing off a spoon. I am telling you this meal was extremely easy yet amazing.

Paleo Stir Fry Noodles

Whole30 Stir Fry

I have been on a stir fry kick lately and a spiralized potato kick so naturally I combined the two and came up with this paleo and whole30 stir fry made completely out of vegetables! I loved watching my kids eat it not knowing that the noodles where made from potatoes!

Let’s talk about a spiralizer for a second. I love my spiralizer, it allows you to make your meals more interesting and it saves alot of time. I use the Paderno Spiralizer, you can buy it on Amazon. I also spiralized the onion just to save time in chopping and it hid it with the noodles and went unnoticed by my kids. Enough about the spiralizer and on the the recipe!

Hello Dutch Baby! While these Dutch Babies come in different names like German Pancakes or Hootenannies–they all taste amazing and I have been making them since I was 10. Since the original recipe has so many eggs it is really easy to turn it into a paleo recipe.

Clean Spaghetti

Paleo and Whole30 Spaghetti

This is is simple and FAST spaghetti that you can through together for your family and I love the spiralized potatoes as noodles, they really are a perfect kid friendly spaghetti replacement. I found this 100% clean no sugar added marinara sauce from Costco, it is the Kirkland Brand Organic Marinara Sauce. Check your local costco, sometimes it is hard to find a store bought sauce with no added sugar so just keep checking the labels.
