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.

Butternut, Broccoli & Sausage Breakfast Bake

Ingredients
2 lb. cubed butternut squash
2 tablespoon EVOO or coconut oil
1 lb. sausage (the crumbly kind)
2 cups chopped broccoli florets
1 chopped yellow onion
20 large eggs
1 small can coconut milk

1. Preheat oven to 375 and toss squash with oil, salt and pepper in a large lasagna pan or casserole dish. Roast for 25-30 minutes.

2. In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion about five minutes. Stir in broccoli and cook another five minutes (until sausage is cooked through). Pile it on top of the squash when it comes out of the oven

3. Whisk eggs, coconut milk and any seasonings (I used salt, pepper, garlic, and parsley) in a bowl. Pour over squash, sausage, and veggies.

4. Bake 35-40 minutes until eggs are set. Cut into squares and reheat for breakfast!

Tostados

Another take on the paleo naan--tostados! I topped it with grass fed beef cooked with a Whole Foods taco seasoning packet, some pico de gallo, and scallions. YUM!!! It's a bit wonky looking because I ran out of tapioca flour and tried to sub coconut flour instead (tasted fine but much more crumbly and not as doughy).

Shaky Graves

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you put on a concert. Can't say enough great things about seeing Shaky Graves live at the Charleston Music Hall a few weeks ago. Awesome show!
