Some people say alcohol of any form isn’t paleo. No judgement here. Regardless certain social situations can be a little uncomfortable having to explain why you aren’t drinking- again- especially to people who don’t get it.
This will make it look like you’re one of the players without you having to start over from day 1.
1 bottle sparkling water
2 drops lemon essential oil
2 drops lime essential oil
Pour in a cute glass with a couple ice cubes, enjoy.
Naaa….. You can have some bread (come on, everybody like a good Pun-jab)… But seriously, my husband would never make it without something to mop up his egg yolk in the mornings.
3/4 C Almond Flour
3/4 C Tapioca flour
3/4 to 1 can Full Fat Coconut Milk
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/8 tsp Himalayan pink salt
1/8 tsp Black Pepper
Combine dry ingredients, add garlic. Once that is mixed fairly evenly, slowly add milk. I usually only use 3/4 can. If the batter is still a little thick the bread will set up with some body.
You can make these as large or small as you like. One batch of batter usually makes us 4 or 5 pieces of bread about 6” round (ish). Oil your skillet but not generously. You don’t want the bread to stick, but you don’t want to make the it oily either. I add oil to my skillet and wipe it around with my hand so as to not let any extra stand in the pan. Heat skillet to medium and allow the skillet to warm before adding batter. Cook until the batter firms and looks mostly cooked before you turn it. You want some good color on each side. Be patient. It will take longer than pancakes!
If you’ve never used tapioca flour before it can prove challenging. It absorbs a lot of water, but it doesn’t do it on contact, so its important you add the milk slowly. Give it a chance to soak in.
You want your bread to be chewy and a little stretchy but not gooey or sticky. If you have goo then you’ve either undercooked them, or you have too much tapioca flour in your mix. If they look like pancakes you’ve used too much almond flour and maybe not enough milk.
Salt and pepper are always an ingredient you should modify according to your personal taste. Garlic, in my opinion is as well. I Love garlic.
I’ve seen a few recipes with baking soda and baking powder listed as ingredients. This gets into the grey area of whether those ingredients are actually “paleo” or not. That’s your call. I will say this. If you are going to add baking powder, watch that you’ve got aluminum free baking powder.
Tacos, sandwich style bread, bratwurst style sausage with onions and peppers, mopping up the curry sauce from what’s left of your plate, wrap your bacon and egg, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon….
All the ingredients in this recipe are Whole 30 compliant. However, one of the golden rules of W30 is you shouldn’t duplicate noncompliant foods with compliant ingredients because this doesn’t encourage you to break your bad food habits. They’ve got a point, and therefore this naan bread is not W30 compliant.
That being said, no judgement here.
This recipe has 3 components which makes it a bit high maintenance int he food prep department, but I promise it’s worth it!
2 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic powder
2 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
Mix it together in a bowl, leave the teaspoon in it, and set to the side. You’ll dip into it a few times during this recipe.
3 large or 4 medium zucchini
Spiralize. This is the perfect job for whomever is sitting on the couch watching TV right now or for the random teenager pilfering through your kitchen looking for Pringles.
Set them aside. We’ll pick them back up later.
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes or strips
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
6 to 8 fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green onion, diced
10.8 oz cocoanut cream
Toss chicken in one teaspoon cajun seasoning. In a large skillet over medium heat, add chicken and a tablespoon of your favorite cooking fat. Brown slightly on both sides.
In separate large skillet add one tablespoon cooking fat and zucchini, Sprinkle with one tablespoon cajun seasoning. Periodically reposition noodles. You want the zucchini to soften, but you don’t want it to turn to mush, so watch carefully. When you find its sweet spot remove it from heat.
When chicken is slightly brown transfer to colindar at the sink and let remaining chicken juices drain. Return skillet to stove, medium heat, add veggies and one more teaspoon of cajun seasoning. Allow to cook 2 to 3 minutes until veggies start to soften. Add chicken back to skillet. Stir in cocoanut cream and I always add another teaspoon of cajun seasoning. If you don’t care for your food too spicy maybe back off that last teaspoon. Simmer 5 minutes.
Combine noodles with chicken and veggies in a large bowl, serve and enjoy!
Sleepy me sometimes can’t be trusted, so having to add individual components to my coffee is sometimes just an annoyance. I premix them and keep them in the fridge so all sleepy me has to do is grab the right thing. This is my favorite combo.
And yes- its not only Paleo, its Whole 30 compliant.
1/2 C full fat coconut milk
2 tsp unsweetened baking cocoa
2 tsp water
1 tsp cinnamon
4 drops peppermint essential oil
It helps to dissolve the baking cocoa in water before adding other ingredients. I use a small saucepan rocked up on its side, but you could use a small cup in the microwave if you prefer. Blend with milk, cinnamon, and peppermint, add a dollop (or more) to your coffee, inhale, and enjoy.
If you’ve never used it before it can be a bit intense. Start 3 drops for your first run. If you just love the clearing of the sinuses you may try 5 drops.
