It's often hit or miss, but the hits are always big. This recipe for a Thai dish using zucchini noodles is my new fave. LOVE. IT. <br />
<br />
Husband loved it, too. Look it over, then I'll tell you how it can be modified. <br />

<br />
<br />
OK, I replaced peanut butter with almond butter. Forgot at first to add the honey and coconut cream because it's not in the instructions, so I had a good before and after taste. Coconut makes it creamier like you'd expect from a Thai dish. That, and honey, make it sweeter, but not so much that you can't leave either of them out. Try putting those two ingredients last and see the difference for yourself.<br />
<br />
Enjoy! Making it again tonight.<br />

I have to get out of my head that this is a biscuit. It's not. It is it's own Paleo thing. I'm coming to terms with that. But I'm always interested in the food on the blog <a href="http://www.runningtothekitchen.com/">Running to the Kitchen</a>, so I tried her <a href="http://www.runningtothekitchen.com/2013/02/sweet-potato-bacon-biscuits/">recipe</a>.<br />
<br />
Now, do I like it? Yes. No. Not sure. I guess. It has a lot of possibilities, but I have to wait to see how these fit into a real meal. <br />
<br />
They're tasty but a touch over-powering. Lots of strong flavors: roasted garlic, fresh rosemary and bacon fat. Now with an egg in the morning, maybe it'll all fit in; but alone, something has to be cut back. <br />
<br />

<b>SWEET POTATO BACON BISCUITS</b><br />

They have a crispy outside but a softer middle. I would also like to consider this as a baked side dish. Not separated into "biscuits" but as a casserole-style side dish.<br />

<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Preheat oven to 400 degrees.</li>
<li class="instruction" itemprop="recipeInstructions">Wrap garlic cloves

Next time I'll cut the garlic and make 12 small biscuits not six larger ones. The original blogger says they're best served warm, but they're a lot of work for breakfast. </div>

<b>UPDATE:</b> I woke up the next morning and not only were these biscuits soggy, but they were green. Yes, green, as though the rosemary which I had chopped up (perhaps too finely in a grinder) had taken them over. So disappointing. <br />

I love it. My husband loves it. It makes the house smell good, too.<br />
<br />
<b>RICED CAULIFLOWER</b><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>1 head cauliflower</i><br />
<i>3 Tbs. coconut oil</i><br />
<i>3 diced green onions</i><br />
<i>2 minced cloves of garlic</i><br />
<i>1 whisked egg</i><br />
<i>1 tsp. coconut aminos or Bragg Liquid Aminos (I use Bragg)</i><br />
<i>1 Tbs. sesame oil </i><br />
<i>Black Pepper</i><br />
<br />
Prep Time: 30 minutes<br />
Cook Time: 15 minutes<br />
Serves: 5<br />
<br />
Rinse and dry the cauliflower and cut into florets. Put the florets in a food processor until they are finely minced like rice. In a large skillet, melt coconut oil over medium heat. Saute' cauliflower for 5-6 minutes. Add green onions and garlic to skillet and saute for another 2-3 minutes. <br />
<br />
Push cauliflower to the side of the skillet and pour in whisked egg. Cook until firms then mix it into the cauliflower mixture. Add Bragg Liquid Aminos, the sesame oil and black pepper. Done!<br />
<br />

<b>ASIAN CHICKEN WINGS</b><br />
<br />
Wow. What a great surprise this was. Great for dinner and great for parties. Just regular chicken wings sussed up. Another great recipe from the cookbook "Everyday Paleo." <br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i>2 1/2 lbs. chicken wings </i><br />
<br />
<i>Marinade: </i><br />
<i> 2 cloves minced garlic </i><br />
<i>1 tsp. grated fresh ginger </i><br />
<i>3 Tbs. coconut aminos or Bragg Liquid Aminos</i><br />
<i>1 Tbs. sesame oil </i><br />
<i>1/2 c. apple juice</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Sesame seeds and minced chives or green onions for garnish</i><br />
<br />
Prep Time: 20 minutes plus 30 minutes at least for marinating<br />
Cook Time: 35-40 minutes <br />
<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. I put the mixture in a large Ziploc storage bag then tossed in the wings. Let them set for 30 minutes, at least, but as long as two hours.<br />
<br />
Line the baking sheet with foil then place the wings on it. Don't crowd them. Roast the wings for 35-40 minutes turning them halfway through. I did 40 minutes total, but my husband thought they could have cooked another five minutes for a crispier skin.<br />
<br />
When they're done sprinkle them with sesame seeds and chives or green onions.<br />
<br />
<br />

When I see Indian people, I crave Indian food. Clearly, I want it every day. The unfortunate truth is that it's always better in the restaurant. And, this recipe is no different.<br />
<br />
I substituted Madras Curry Powder for the all the spices, because it seemed to have most of them in there, and it was far cheaper than purchasing them separately. I also had to use more coconut milk, because I didn't think there was enough to simmer my chicken in. The Better Butter Chicken recipe is <a href="http://everydaypaleo.com/better-butter-chicken/">here</a> and pasted below.<br />
<br />
I have made Butter Chicken before, and it was pretty close to paleo. You can find that recipe, <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/saras-secrets/butter-chickenindian-chicken-in-tomato-cream-sauce-recipe/index.html">here</a>. If you can bargain on the cream, it can be paleo-ish. It uses Garam Masala, so maybe using that in the paleo recipe would make it better.<br />
<br />
Curried Vegetable hash was very tasty, though. I ended up using an extra egg, because my sweet potatoes were quite large. It was a great compliment to the chicken, and actually brought the chicken up a bit, I thought. Couldn't find recipe online. Let me know if it's not in your huge-teeth lady book. No pictures. Sorry. :)<br />

Cut the chicken thighs into bite size pieces and set aside. In a large skillet or soup pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat and add the diced onion and saute until translucent. Turn your heat down to low and to the onion and oil mixture, add the crushed garlic, cardamom, coriander, fenugreek, and chili powder and stir well to make a paste. Add the tomato paste to the onions and spices and stir, this mixture will be very thick. Turn your heat back up to medium and add the coconut milk and salt. Use a whisk to blend the tomato paste spice mixture and coconut milk together into a thick sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and add the chicken. Return the sauce and chicken to a simmer, turn down to medium low, cover and cook for approximately 15 minutes or until the chicken is done all the way through – make sure you stir occasionally during the cooking process. After the chicken is cooked, add the ghee and mix into the sauce until melted. Serve the chicken over steamed red chard or any other green of your choice.</div>

Even before my Paleo days, the concept never really appealed to me.<br />
<br />
But, this sounded delicious when I saw the <a href="http://paleodietlifestyle.com/beef-stroganoff/">recipe</a>. And, it came highly recommended from a friend.<br />
<br />
I served over simple shredded zucchini that I sauteed in some of my favorite Paleo fat - bacon grease. The recipe lacks salt, but flavor it up to your liking and it will be delicious.<br />

Preparation</span></h3>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">
<ol>
<li>Heat a large skillet (preferably <a href="http://paleodietlifestyle.com/cooking-with-cast-iron/" style="border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #5f442b; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">cast iron</a>) over a medium-high heat and allow 2 tbsp of your cooking fat to melt. Add the beef strips and cook on each side for just one minute, until golden brown and then remove from the pan and set aside. Don’t be worried that the meat isn’t cooked through, as it will return to the heat to cook again later.</li>
<li>Repeat the above step, but this time cooking the mushrooms. They may require a minute or two longer, just enough time so that they begin to take a golden color. Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside for later use.</li>
<li>This time, repeat the first step, but with the onions and garlic. More cooking time will be required, as the onions need to become tender.</li>
<li>Once the onions and garlic have cooked, leave them in the skillet and add the white wine. Cook for just a few minutes so that the alcohol burns off and the brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan come up. At this point add the coconut milk and beef broth, stirring until a consistent creamy sauce takes shape.</li>
<li>Return the beef and mushrooms to the skillet and allow them to simmer slightly for 5 to 7 minutes. You may need to turn the temperature down to prevent the sauce from boiling. Also be sure to check the beef, as you do not want to overcook it and make it chewy.</li>
<li>Serve as is or on top of some <a href="http://paleodietlifestyle.com/paleo-spaghetti/" style="border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #5f442b; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">spaghetti squash</a> or zucchini noodles. Bon apetit!</li>

It was only $35 (Costco sale, woot). And, it has revolutionized my crockpot-ing. It doesn't burn the food or dry it out. And, you can use the pot part to prep meat directly on the stove. Fewer dishes.<br />
<br />
Now, I'm on the hunt for more crockpot recipes. I tried this <a href="http://paleomg.com/crockpot-mexican-chicken-soupstew-over-cilantro-lime-rice/">Mexican Chicken Stew</a> last weekend. I cooked it for my coworkers (let it cook in the break room all day). It was a risk to serve something I haven't made before, and it was a hit! People weren't sure what to make of the cauliflower rice. They thought it was couscous. Hilarious.<br />
<br />
I used chicken thighs (because that can only make it better, and they are cheaper). And, I would just do cilantro and lime to taste, because I like a lot.<br />

But, I figure if it's here on the blog, with good labels, it will be nice to be able to find it quickly one of these days.<br />

Since I had left over frosting from cupcakes last week, we made a new batch tonight. We added sprinkles, candles and a rendition of Happy Birthday.<br />

I get the kitchen clean, look up and the clock and decide I have time to make one more Paleo treat. Kitchen becomes a mess, again, especially when I have helpers at my toes. And, I'm frantically cleaning up the last of the mess as the babysitter arrives, and I sprint off to work.<br />
<br />
In the spirit of reducing my cooking/preparing workload, here are some of my favorite ready-made Paleo snacks. Most of them make it easier to keep the kids Paleo, as they rarely have the patience to wait. If I've pre-planned, they may have a better Paleo snack available, but these are great to have on hand in a pinch.<br />

Lara Bars - most are Paleo, though watch for some containing peanuts (I've made these at home, too, and they are very good. Will post on that, maybe tomorrow)<br />

I had carrots chips in the fridge which seemed like a good idea, but I guess they need to be very, very thin. I'll try again by using my handy mandoline with whole carrots. The link below shows the right result. <br />

It looked like a great way to change up Brussels sprouts, but I had to alter it to make it Paleo. <br />
<br />

</ul>
<ol>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Soak the onion slices in a small bowl of cold water for 15 to 20 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. </li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. Set aside. </li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Trim all of the Brussels sprouts, cutting off any bruised outer leaves and slicing off a good portion of the hard root end. Using a mandoline, shave the sprouts one at a time. When you're done, use your fingers to gently separate the leaves so that the shredded sprouts resemble a very fine slaw. </li>
<li itemprop="recipeInstructions">Put the sprouts in a serving bowl and toss gently with the onions (which you've now drained) and the dressing. Fold in the pecorino, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately, before it starts to wilt! </li>

I obviously took out the cheese, but I added bacon and some warm bacon grease. I also thinly sliced each Brussels sprout on a mandoline. You can buy it already sliced in a bag at Trader Joe's. I recommend. <br /><br />When I try it again, which I will, I'll blanch the Brussels sprouts first. Drop them into boiling water for one minute, then take them out and run cold water over them immediately. I generally prefer raw food like that blanched. Personal taste. </section><section class="clearfix"><br /></section><section class="clearfix"><br /></section><section class="clearfix">Crappy picture, but tasty food. </section><section class="clearfix"><br /></section><section class="clearfix"></section><br />

<section class="clearfix"><br /><br />David later added cheese because he truly thought it would make it better. It did nothing. The sprouts are too strong for the cheese. It's a waste of a cheat, if you're so inclined. </section>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10156022487312260569noreply@blogger.com2
