A Special Paleo Dinner

On occasions when we aren’t in a rush to be somewhere that night, it is such fun to plan a special meal. These take a little bit longer to prepare, but are so worth that time.

One of Our Very Favorites

These Bacon Chicken Wraps are one of John’s and my very favorites. I absolutely love the Honey Mustard Sauce we paste them with. We had these last night with a big green salad, (I like my salad with a sliced fresh Cara Cara Orange available at this time of the year and the Caramelized Slivered Almonds), Baked Japanese Sweet Potatoes and the delicious Paleo Lemon Bars.

Thanksgiving Paleo Favorites

Thanksgiving is my very very favorite of all holidays. I love the Thanksgiving story behind the day, the time with family and the great reminder of our many many blessings.

John and I love our traditional favorites like Dressing and Orange Jello Salad; but we also try to add in some of the delicious Paleo recipe versions that we like just as well. (I must admit that most of our family doesn’t necessarily choose these. The don’t realize that the Cinnamon Pecans and Caramelized Almonds are Paleo, so they like these a bunch. Those who like Cranberry sauce can’t tell the difference on this version. The rest of the family chooses Brennon’s Kansas Dirt that she always brings versus any  pies.) My mom loves pie, so it doesn’t matter to her whether she thinks it is Paleo or not.

This is one of our very favorite recipes to use all year long: Whipped Coconut Cream.

Chill a can of Coconut Cream (milk won’t work)
Add Coconut Cream, Several Drops of Liquid Stevia and 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla together.

My coconut cream can doesn’t even need any more than mixing together. Some cans need a few whips with the beaters and possibly being refrigerated for a little before using.

Lemon Bars

Cranberry Sauce

I followed the directions on the package of fresh cranberries but instead of the cup of sugar it called for, I added 1 cup of agave nectar. Oh my goodness, it was better than the one with sugar.

Cashew Chicken in Lettuce Wraps

CASHEW CHICKEN IN LETTUCE WRAPS

CashewChickenWrapspm

Here’s a recipe from Wellness Mama I tested and adapted in my kitchen and found absolutely delicious. The cashews and maple syrup add the crunch, and placing it in a lettuce wrap makes it a light and refreshing.  Serves 4.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound  of chicken breast or thighs, cut in to bite size pieces (The recipe originally called for 1 pound of chicken breast, but this is way too much chicken for this amount of sauce. Even with 1/2 pound chicken, I like to triple the sauce.)
  • ¼ cup ghee or coconut oil

Here is my revised recipe:
Sauce and Spices

  • 1 tsp of garlic powder or 2 cloves of minced garlic

    Cashew Chicken

    Cashew Chicken

  • 1 tsp natural sea salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp dried basil (optional)
  • 9 TBSP (or more to taste) coconut aminos or naturally fermented soy sauce
  • 9 TBSP (or more to taste) maple syrup
  • ½ cup+ toasted cashews
  • Bibb lettuce leaves for serving or Paleo Tortillas

 Instructions

  1. Place the bite size pieces of chicken into a large skillet of melted ghee or coconut oil.
  2. Sprinkle with the seasonings and sauté until chicken is almost done and no longer translucent.
  3. Add the coconut aminos and continue to stir until the liquid starts to evaporate.
  4. Add the maple syrup and continue stirring for two or three minutes.
  5. Add cashews and stir until heated.
  6. Cool slightly and serve in lettuce leaves or Paleo Tortillas.

Spinach and Hamburger Dish

Spinach/Hamburger Dish

One of our wonderful Team Fabulous members shared this recipe with us. Mary Jane is a wonderful cook and often has much company on weekends at The Place in the country. Mary Jane has also become a Paleo Lifetyle advocate. Here is one of her easiest and favorite recipes:

image

Ingredients

1 # Hamburger Meat

1/2 Onion

Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder  or minced Garlic

1 bag of fresh Spinach

How to Make

  1. Brown onion with hamburger meat in skillet. Season to taste, but be generous with the garlic.
  2. When the hamburger meat is done, add a whole bag of fresh spinach.
  3. Stir until spinach is wilting and remove from heat.

Side Notes from Mary Jane

“I usually use one whole onion and an additional pound of ground meat (turkey). I like to cook my onions until grilled in bacon drippings to start as this really adds a great added flavor.” ~ Mary Jane Hathaway

Side Notes from Dani

John and I loved the ease of this dish and the health filled spinach it contains. I tried to short cut with dry onion flakes, but will do real onion next time. I didn’t use the bacon drippings to start my onion in. Next time I will either use fresh bacon drippings (if have some), or coconut oil to pregrill my onions in.

This is a great dish when you are short on preparation time. So easy and so good!

Thank you Mary Jane.
