Blender Muffins

I love that these are minis and can be adapted so many ways. I doubled the recipe and made them with almond butter. Half with Enjoy Life chocolate chips and the other half with jam in the middle so they were PB&J style.

Chorizo Breakfast Hash

I wish I had a more appetizing picture of this because it's REALLY good! And super easy. We like to get the packages of chorizo sausage in the Hispanic section of our local grocery store but I suppose you could use the fancy stuff from Whole Foods or whatever too. Roast a bunch of veggies (I used a sweet potato, a bag of brussel sprouts, a bunch of asparagus, a yellow bell pepper, and an onion) in some olive oil and salt/pepper at 425 for 30 minutes or until nice and soft. Cook the chorizo in a big pan until cooked through, then stir in the veggies. That's it! Great with an over easy egg on top too.

Beet and Goat Cheese Salad

I recently went back to Crust and tried their beet salad with roasted chicken and it was amazing. So naturally I had to attempt it at home. Bibb lettuce, chunks of pre-cooked roasted chicken, crumbles of goat cheese, pickled beets, caramelized onions, chopped pistachios and olive oil/balsamic vinegar for dressing. Mmmmmmm!

Captain Crunchies

Totally not paleo but when my husband was organizing our friend's bachelor party beach weekend I thought some junk food treats were in order. In addition to M&M cookies and brownies I made these with a bag of marshmallows, a stick of butter, and a box of peanut butter Captain Crunch. The cereal pieces were pretty large and not really sticking together, so I crushed up several cups of cereal in the food processor and they smooshed together nicely.

Easy Sausage Bowl

My husband made this as an easy weeknight dinner. Roasted broccoli, cauliflower, and sweet potato with some diced sausage that had been cooked in a pan then tossed in with the veggies. Simple and delicious!

French Fries

I've been experimenting with baked french fries lately and they get a little better each time. The latest involves cutting them into wedges with the skin on and tossing them with garlic infused olive oil and sea salt, pepper, and parsley. I tried Old Bay on a different batch and they were a little too spicy for my taste but these were perfect.

Greek Pita Pizzas

This paleo naan recipe is the gift that keeps on giving! Tonight I threw some oregano (along with lots of garlic and onion powder and parsley) into the batter and topped it with hummus (not paleo), mixed greens, diced tomatoes, black olives, shredded rotisserie chicken, and caramelized onions, topping the whole thing off with a spritz of lemon juice. Heaven.
