Kale Stuffed Chicken wrapped in Bacon

Kale Stuffed Chicken wrapped in Bacon

I've been enjoying bacon lately!! I saw this recipe from Paleomg.com and had to make this! The recipe calls for spinach instead of kale, but I had a bunch of kale to use up.  I also added red pepper flakes to the kale mixture so it had a little bit of a kick.  Plus, instead of chopping the bacon and stuffing it with the kale, I wrapped the chicken with bacon.

It was so good!!! :) Here's the recipe!

Paleo Apple Fritters- OMG so Yummy!

Paleo Apple Fritters- OMG so Yummy!!!!

My man has been in the mood for apple fritters so I looked up how to make Paleo friendly apple fritters.  

My FAVE paleo website (www.paleomg.com) had a recipe for them and I simply HAD to make them!!

Doesn't this look yummy?!?!

I went ahead and prepped all the ingredients and put them in different bowls before cooking the apples since this was my first time making this.  

Ground Cashews

Dates, honey, applesauce and coconut oil; Eggs and vanilla extract; Coconut flour, baking soda & powder, cinnamon, and salt.  Add each bowl and puree then add the next bowl and etc.

All pureed!

Cooked two apples in coconut oil and covered it until soft.

While the apples were cooking, I combined coconut milk, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a bit of salt

Mixed the apples with the cinnamon sauce.  This is so DELISH!! My favorite part!

Next, I put the batter halfway up and then put a couple TBSP of apple topping on top of the batter.

Fresh out of the oven!

Added more of the apple cinnamon mixture on top! I would recommend making a double batch of the apple mixture!

This is a must! :)  My man ended up eating 3 1/2 in one sitting!!! That's how yummy it is! :-D

Vanilla Chia Coconut Pudding

Vanilla Chia Coconut Pudding

I was flipping through my Women's Health magazine and there was a section that covered coconut recipes! I saw this and decided to make it.  To my surprise, it was delish! Very light! You could add cinnamon if you wanted to.  I had this with blueberries and raspberries.  It takes less than five minutes to make it, BUT it needs to be in the fridge for at least a couple hours.

I did a blog posting about Chia Seeds if you want to read about the health benefits.  Here is the recipe that was posted in the Women's Health magazine.

Coconut Carrot Curry Soup

Coconut Carrot Curry Soup

I made delicious soup the other day!  I got the recipe from Women's Health magazine.  It is really good!

Here's the recipe!

1 TBSP Coconut Oil
1 pound carrots, chopped
1 Sweet potato, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 TBSP chopped ginger
3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
2 cups coconut water
2 TBSP lime juice
1-2 TSP curry powder
1/4 TSP cardamom

1.  Heat oil in a pot, add carrots, onion and sweet potato.  Cover and cook- stirring occasionally until they brown slightly which is after about 10 minutes.  Add ginger and cook for another minute before adding the broth.  Bring it to a boil and partially cover the pot.  Cook for another 10 minutes.
2.  Puree the soup and add coconut water then put it back in the pot.  Add lime juice and spices.  Heat it throughout and serve!

Sausage Spaghetti Squash Bake

Sausage Spaghetti Squash Bake

Last night, I made a yummy dinner! I made a sausage spaghetti squash casserole dish.  It was delish!! 

Wasn't that hard to make- you could make this ahead of time and just put it in the oven.  I had it with asparagus.

Here's the recipe!  It is from one of my favorite Paleo websites: www.paleomg.com.

Sausage Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Peppers

Sausage Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Peppers

Instagram is a wonderful site to get ideas for cooking! I follow a few Paleo people and one posted a recipe of this and it became dinner one night! :) It is a very simple recipe and I used Anaheim peppers.  

Here's what I did! I cut the Anaheim peppers in half and stuffed it with raw spicy italian chicken sausage.

Then I wrapped it with bacon and stuck toothpicks at each end to keep the bacon from unraveling.  

I cooked it on 400 degrees for 45 minutes.  It takes longer with a big pepper (if you do this with jalapeno peppers, check it at around 25-30 minutes).

Voila! You got yourself a yummy dinner! :)

Mark Sisson is a great person to follow if you are on the Paleo Lifestyle and he has some yummy recipes!  Here's the link to his recipe.

Take pictures of your dish if you make this! :)

Paleo Valentine's Day Dessert- Strawberry Cream Pie

Valentine's Day Dessert

I made a yummy Paleo friendly dessert for Valentine's Day! I made Strawberry Cream Pie. It was so easy! It didn't take longer than 15 minutes and it doesn't require the use of an oven! I only used a food processor! :)

I melted some chocolate and drizzled over it which made it even yummier! I can't wait for leftovers tomorrow! :)

Here's the recipe!

Primal Cauliflower Pizza with Raw Cheese!

Hey there!!

I recently made Primal Cauliflower Pizza which was interesting!! I can't have flour as I'm on Paleo.  One of my favorite foods is pizza.  I found a recipe for Cauliflower Pizza and ended up trying it.

The crust was very flavorful, but soggy! :-( I'm on the hunt for the perfect paleo crispy pizza crust.  If you know of one, please SHARE! :)

I used one of my favorite sausages that I bought from Whole Foods.  It's called Mulay Killer Hot Italian Sausage.  I buy it from Whole Foods- it's a lil pricey, but it doesn't have any added sugar (Dextrose) and it is so yummy!

I also used raw cheese from Whole Foods.  This fits with more of the Primal Lifestyle.  I have decided that I will add cheese to my diet every now and then as a treat, but it has to be raw cheese and from grassfed cows.  Again, it's more pricey, but if it is gunna be my treat every now and then, it's worth it. :)   Trader Joe's also sells raw cheese- I've found three different kinds.  It's yummy! :-D

So, those that are waiting in anticipation for the picture of my pizza, here it is! :)  

Here's the website for the recipe.
