This savory roasted carrot, bacon and kale hash is great as a side dish or for breakfast topped with fried eggs! It’s a lower carb alternative to the classic sweet potato hash and just as delicious. Paleo and Whole30 compliant, simple to make.
Another go to meal. Making a large batch of chili is particularly useful for people with super hectic lives. You basically through the ingredients in a crock pot and leave it for hours and you are good to go. Every Sunday, well---we attempt--to make all our meals for the week and portion them. It is a huge time saver during the work week. Just grab it and go! After a long day--grab it- warm it and dinner is served!Enjoy!

Yum, is all I can say! It took us a while to find a good pancake recipe that was gluten free (we choose to eat minimal amounts of gluten products but this is great for people with a gluten intolerance too). These pancakes make a great addition to breakfast (see picture below...breakfast of champions), or a quick snack! Enjoy!
