#1: Paleo Joe's Special
----------------------------------
Paleo adaptation of traditional San Francisco Bay Area comfort food (original has a mountain of
parmesan cheese and is served with crusty bread):

1 onion chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ground beef
2 10 oz packages of chopped spinach, thawed and the water squeezed out
5 eggs, beaten, salted

Cook onion & garlic until soft.
Add ground beef, season w/ salt & pepper and cook through.
Add spinach, season with salt & pepper and cook until pretty dry.
Taste and adjust seasoning

*. at this point - reserve half of this mixture in the freezer to defrost and continue cooking another time *

To the remaining half - add eggs and cook until dry.

Eat! Good with sweet potatoes!

#2 Sweet Potato Bacon Bake
---------------------------------------
2 lbs purple sweet potatoes, cut into ~1.5" pieces
1 pack bacon (frozen ok)

*Turn oven on to 400-425 deg

*In a deep baking pan, arrange cut sweet potatoes around the
edges of the pan. Drop the bacon in the middle. If the bacon
is frozen, that's ok. Just toss it in.

* Season potatoes with a little salt - careful because bacon fat
will be salty

* Bake (just put it in the oven - even if it's not up to
temperature). Stir bacon around every so often to make sure
it cooks evenly. Stir potatoes into the rendered fat while you're
at it.

* Bacon will be finished first - take it out when it's done and
keep cooking potatoes and mixing with bacon fat until pau.

Here are 2 easy recipes I like to make when short on time:

Egg Tacos

Use corn tortillas, slice an avocado, tomato (heirloom type even better), and scrambled eggs,
greens like lettuce and cilantro if you like

You can grill the tortillas lightly on an open gas range burner

Baking time might vary slightly based on how thin or thick you make your rolls.

I use round molds or mason jar lids for the rolls, and it yields 4 fluffy sandwich rolls. See
the comments for how readers have adapted!

Updated 2/2017. I used to add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or palm shortening but don’t
find it necessary for the texture so it has been removed.

Updated 5/2019: We included instructions on how to make this in a small loaf pan, we
use this pan here

Easy seed crackers.                               Debi Wright (from Quite Good Food)
INGREDIENTS
1 cup sunflower seeds
3/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup flaxseed
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups water
1 tbsp dried herbs of your choice, (I used thyme)
1 tsp chilli flakes, (opIonal)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 170C (340F) fanbake.
2. Mix all ingredients together and leave for 10-15 minutes for the seeds to soak up the water.
3. Give everything a good sIr, then split the mixture over two lined baking trays and spread thinly. The
ideal thickness is about 3-4mm. Too thin and the crackers will be very fragile, too thick and they'll be
more like a seed cookie than a cracker.
4. Bake for one hour (switching the trays around halfway through), or unIl golden brown and crisp. If
they don't feel crisp aXer an hour, return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven, allow to cool, then break into irregular shards. Store in an airIght container
I use the edge of a spatula to score the mixture aXer it’s spread on the baking sheet. You can make the
serving size you want, and they will (mostly) break along the scored edge when done.
I also use a Misto and lightly spray olive oil on the sheet rather than use parchment paper

Paleo Lime Mayo - Karen Axsom
retrieved from: https://www.jillcarnahan.com/recipe/paleo-lime-mayo/

Servings                     Prep Time
30TBSP                       50minutes
Ingredients
  •    2 Eggsroom temperature
  •    4tbsp fresh lime juiceroom temperature
  •    1tsp dry mustard
  •    1tsp Sea Salt
  •    2 1/2cups Avocado Oildivided
  •    1oz can diced jalapenosoptional
Instructions

  1.   Place the eggs and lime juice in a blender or food processor (I use a Blendtec).
       Let them come to room temperature together, about 30-60 minutes.

  2.   Add the dry mustard, salt, and 1/2 cup of the oil. Mix until well mixed – about 20
       to 30 seconds. If you’re using a Blendtec, use the Speed 3 button for the entire
       process.

  3.   Start pouring the remaining 2 cups of oil VERY SLOWLY through the opening in
       your blender/processor lid. Seriously, very slowly!

  4.   Continue until all the oil is done. Never dump it, even at the end. Keep a SLOW,
       steady stream the whole time. This may take up to 5 or 6 minutes.

  5.   When all the oil is done, remove the lid and look at the glorious, mayo you just
       made. Then stick it in the fridge and wait about an hour before using it. Trust me.

  6.   (OPTIONAL) If you want to make the Spicy Jalapeno Mayo, just dump the whole
       can of jalapeños in the mayo and mix well with a spatula. Alternately, split the
       mayo, keep half plain and half spicy. If you do this, only use half the can of
       jalapeños.

Recipe Notes
Do NOT use extra virgin olive oil, the flavor is no good in mayo. Add the jalapeños for a
spicy dip. Don’t add if you’re just using this as mayo. Nutrition Facts do not include the
jalapeño peppers.

Ingredients
Beef & Vegetable Filling
  •    1 lb ground beef or substitute ground lamb
  •    3 medium carrots
  •    1 cup green beans
  •    1/2 onion about 1/2 cup diced
  •    1 rib celery
  •    1 clove garlic
  •    2 tbsp tomato paste
  •    3/4 cup beef stock
  •    1 tsp coconut aminos
  •    1/2 tsp salt
  •    1/4 tsp thyme
  •    1/4 tsp oregano
Mashed Potato Topping
  •    2 lbs russet potatoes about 6-7 medium potatoes
  •    1/3 cup coconut milk full fat
  •    2 tbsp ghee
  •    1/2 tsp salt
  •    1/4 tsp pepper
  •    1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Prep the Vegetables
  •    Preheat your oven to 400F.
  •    Dice the onion, carrots and celery. Mince the garlic. Cut the green beans into 1/2 inch
       pieces.

Cook the Potatoes
•    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 2 inch cubes.

  •    Add the potatoes to a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Boil until the
       potatoes are cooked and softened enough that you can easily stab them with a fork.
  •    Transfer to a large bowl, add the coconut cream, ghee, and salt and pepper. Use a
       potato masher or hand mixer to blend only until smooth (be careful not to over-mix).
       Add more coconut milk if needed to reach a creamy consistency.

Cook the Filling
 •    Meanwhile, heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef,
      breaking apart as it cooks, for about 3-4 minutes.
 •    Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, and saute together for another 2-3 minutes.
 •    Stir in the beef stock, tomato paste, herbs, and salt. Saute together for another 2-3
      minutes.
 •    Spread the mashed potatoes evenly on top of the mixture (I like to leave a little open
      space on the edges so it bubbles over a tiny bit. Those crispy pieces are my favorite
      bites!).

Bake & Serve
 •    Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until the potatoes begin to get crispy on top.
 •    Remove from the oven and sprinkle wtih fresh thyme and fresh cracked black pepper.
      Divide among four plates and serve!

Notes
For a Keto Shepherd's Pie: Omit the carrots and top with cauliflower mash instead of
the potatoes, then sprinkle with about 1/2 cup of full fat cheddar cheese.

Servings: 16 tortillas

Ingredients
  •    2 medium sized plantains1/4 cup avocado oil or olive oil1 tsp sea
       salt1/4 cup water, as needed

Instructions
  •    Preheat oven to 400°. Place a sheet of unbleached parchment paper on a baking
       sheet.Peel and chop plantains and place in the carafe of a high powered blender
       along with the oil and sea salt (I used a Blendtec). Blend on high, stopping to scrap
       the sides down with a rubber spatula. Depending on the exact size of plantains you
       use, you may need to add water in order to get the batter to be a creamy consistency.
       Add water to your blender carafe as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. The end
       consistency should be very thick, but completely smooth.Use a spoon or spatula to
       spread the batter into 16 individual tortillas on the parchment paper. You may need
       more than one baking sheet depending on the size. Mine were about 1/4" thick and
       about 6-ish inches.Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven and flip, then bake
       another 5-10 minutes.Store in a sealed container in the fridge for 2-3 days, or freeze
       between sheets of parchment paper for several weeks. The plantain tortillas will be
       most pilable fresh out of the oven.

Notes
  1.   I prefer to use avocado oil for it's neutral flavor, but olive oil works as well.

4 extra-large tortillas ( 14-16 inches) omit if not on your nutrition level

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F and gather ingredients & cut veggies.

BAKE SWEET POTATOES: Dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes and
place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Toss with a little olive oil, and a generous
five-finger pinch of salt and pepper. Spread out and bake in the middle of the
oven until crispy and tender, 20-25 minutes.

COOK QUINOA: At the same time, bring quinoa, water, and pinch of salt to boil
in a medium pot. Once boiling, cover, turn heat to low and cook until all the
water is gone about 15 minutes. Turn heat off and leave covered. Fluff before
serving.

SAUTE FILLING: Also at the same time, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-
high heat. Saute onions 2-3 minutes until they just begin to soften. Add garlic,
corn and peppers and lower heat to med, sauteeing until tender, about 10
minutes. Season with the salt, cumin, coriander and oregano. Set aside. When
the sweet potatoes are tender, add them to these veggies.

BLEND THE Peruvian Green Sauce (AJI VERDE SAUCE): While the veggies
are sauteeing, blend the Aji Verde ingredients together using a blender. Start
with cashews and water, blending till smooth and creamy, scraping down the
sides. Add remaining garlic, chili, salt, cilantro and lime juice. Blend until
relatively smooth. Scrape it into a small bowl.

WHIP THE BLACK BEANS: Place 1 can refried black beans into a medium
pot, breaking them up with a fork. Add 1/4 cup water (or more) to loosen.
Gently warm over medium-low heat, whipping with a fork until they are smooth
and creamy. Add a drizzle of olive oil, salt and spices. If you don’t care about it
being “vegan” stir in grated melty cheese or a dollop of sour cream for extra
richness. Whip with fork until creamy and flavorful. You want these to be slightly
salty. Cover and turn heat off.

ASSEMBLE BURRITOS: Heat tortillas up until soft and pliable (over a gas
flame, or in the oven on the rack). Spread with whipped black beans “the glue”,
a few tablespoons quinoa, 1/2 cup veggies and 2-3 tablespoon of Peruvian
Green Sauce. Roll up, tucking the ends in as best you can. Enjoy!

Peruvian BURRITO BOWLS: Spoon some warm whipped black beans into the
bottom of a bowl. Top with some quinoa, vegges and AJI VERDE Sauce.
Garnish with avocado slices, diced tomatoes, cilantro, pumpkin seeds,
sunflower sprouts. If making bowls instead of burritos, I would double the
beans for 4-6 people.

Notes

BEANS: Feel free to use regular refried beans if you can’t find refired black
beans. Or use canned black beans: drain and place in the food processor with
1/4 cup water ( add more to desired consistency) salt, seasonings and olive oil.
Puree until creamy! Heat up in a pot.
BOWLS: If making bowls instead of burritos, I would double the beans for 4-6
people.
Yes, there are several components here but this really can be made in one hour.
Make several things at the same time- it can be done!
