Roasted Carrot, Bacon & Kale Hash {Paleo & Whole30}

Tue, 10 Sep 2019 09:03:00 GMT

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.

Ingredients

1 lb carrots or 3 cups peeled and diced
1/2 Tbsp cooking fat avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, etc.
8-10 slices nitrate free sugar free bacon
1 small bunch kale - or 2 large handfuls roughly chopped
sea salt and pepper for roasting carrots
1/2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika optional for roasting carrots
Thinly sliced green onions for garnish
2-4 egg fried, optional*

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees, peel and dice your carrots. In a large bowl, toss carrots with cooking fat, salt, pepper and paprika and spread out in a single layer on a large parchment lined baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 mins until soft and browning, meanwhile cook your bacon and kale.
While the carrots roast, cut the bacon into bite size pieces and preheat a large deep skillet over medium high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring to evenly brown.
Once the bacon is 3/4 of the way done, drain all but one tbsp of the bacon fat (you can save for another use if you want) and add the chopped kale to the skillet, stirring to coat, add a sprinkle of sea salt to taste.
Lower the heat to medium/low, Cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until kale is softened and bacon is fully crisp. Remove from heat and add the roasted carrots to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Fry eggs if desired to top, garnish with green onion, serve and enjoy!

Simple Sweet Potato Chili

Tue, 10 Sep 2019 09:00:00 GMT

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!

Ingredients

2 lbs. hamburger
1 red onion, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 large can (29.5 oz) can tomato sauce
2 cups petite diced tomatoes, with juice
3 cups beef stock
3 carrots, chopped (about 1 cup)
5 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 4-5 cups)
2 bay leaves
½ teaspoon thyme
2 tsp. salt
1½ teaspoons black pepper
½ cup chili powder
dash of oregano
dash of red pepper flakes

Instructions

In a large saucepan, brown hamburger, onions and garlic. Drain off the fat. Add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan. Mix well, bring to a boil and simmer for about 30-40 minutes or until the sweet potatoes and carrots are cooked through.
Slow Cooker Option: Instead of simmering the chili on the stove, you can brown the ground beef, add the other ingredients, then put it all in your crockpot and let it simmer on low all day (6-8 hours) or on high for 4-5 hours.

Paleo Almond Meal Pancakes

Tue, 10 Sep 2019 08:58:00 GMT

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!

Ingredients

2 cups almond meal
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup mashed ripe banana (from approximately 2 medium bananas)
3 eggs

Preheat a skillet to medium heat (350°F). In a small bowl, combine almond meal, sea salt, baking soda and cinnamon. In a separate large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas and eggs until thoroughly combined. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix well. Ladle 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes and then flip, cooking an additional 4 - 5 minutes until no longer wet in the center. (Approximately 10 pancakes)

Notes and Recommendations

If you have a KitchenAid or similar mixer I recommend using that and then you can just put all the ingredients in at one time!
Add blueberries! YUMMMMMMMMMMM
Store extra in the refrigerator to have as a quick snack (they are good cold too!)

Adjust jalepeño, cayenne and chili powder to suit your own personal taste. As written, the recipe is moderately spicy in my opinion. You might want to glance through this post's comment section for more helpful advice from other paleo cooks.
