Primal Pancakes Part II----Sandwich bread?

These PRIMAL PANCAKES are super simple and delicious but I am cutting out two of the ingredients, fruit and nuts to test allergies/intolerances. So, I whipped up PRIMAL PANCAKES PART II to replace. It could be breakfast, or it could be bread for a sandwich!

INGREDIENTS (5 or LESS):
-Egg
-Coconut Flour
-Anutra (better than Flax seed)
-Coconut Milk

-Crack the egg
-Fill up a 1/4 cup half way with coconut flour and the rest with Anutra
-Put APPROX 1/3 Cup of coconut milk (add until it's a little thicker than pancake batter)
-Cook on a skillet like pancakes! It does not expand, so shape the "dough" how you like.


Lime-head Chicken w/broccoli

INGREDIENTS (5 or LESS)
-Chicken
-Lime
-Pepper
-Broccoli

-Wash broccoli
-Cut broccoli into smaller florets
-Toss in coconut oil, lime, and pepper
-Put in oven until texture of choice

Primal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found this online HERE so I cannot take the credit!

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 c. Almond Flour/ Almond Meal
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 c. 100% cocoa Bakers chocolate
Lots of Cinnamon 

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees (F). 
Grab a cookie sheet and some parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Combine 3 and 1/4 cups of almond flour with a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of baking soda.

In a large bowl, combine 2 eggs, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of coconut oil and 1/2 cup of honey.

Combine wet and dry ingredients then add 1 and 1/2 cups chocolate chips.

Spoon them onto your parchment and pop them in the oven. 

 Recipe makes about 24 cookies

Bake them for about 8-10 minutes (the tops will start to get golden brown). 
If they go longer than that the bottoms burn because of the sugar in the honey.

STUFFED ACORN SQUASH


INGREDIENTS:
2 thin filets of chicken (cut very small before cooking)
1/4 c. Chopped onion
1 tsp. Minced garlic
1 c. Diced apples
1/3 c. Dried cranberries (no sugar please)
1/3 c. Chopped walnuts
1 tsp. Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tsp. Basil
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (raw/ unpasteurized or omit)
Pinch of pepper
2 tbsp honey

Bake the Acorn Squash on 350 for 40 mins (until soft) 
Upside down on a pan with 1/2 inch of water
Take off water
Let it cool down/ dry up
Scoop out inside with fork or spoon (CAREFULLY)
Set aside in a bowl
Save squash skin


Sauté the onions, rosemary, basil, and garlic until the onions are brown
Add the chicken and cooked it fully
Stir the meat mixture with the parmesan, apples, walnuts, honey, cranberries, squash
Stuffing before the squash insides was added.

Put "stuffing" back into the Acorn shell and baked for another 30 minutes! 

Then I cut it in half (can't eat it all!) to save for tomorrow (maybe breakfast :))

MMmmmMMM

Spiralz


Tonight I went to my Aunt's house and we cooked together. We experimented with spiralizing and decided to open up a restaurant, call it Sprialz and spiralize everything! 

We used this recipe here! I did NOT make this up :D


Welcome to your new experience with....Leek Zucchini Pasta Salad

INGREDIENTS: 
2 zucchini, washed and spiralized into pasta
1/2 cup leeks, washed and chopped
4 stalks romaine, chopped
2 avocados (totally add more)
2tbs hemp seeds to sprinkle on top
sprinkle sea salt on top


What I learned:

-A spiralizer is super cool
-Leeks don't make my tummy feel good

-Siri (iphone lady) does not understand me singing to her
-When my Aunt and I talk, we tend to become entrepreneurs...

PRIMAL PANCAKES

This is not an original, don't remember where I found it, but probably on Mark's Daily Apple!


INGREDIENTS:
1T- Almond butter
1- Banana 
1- Egg

Try not to measure almond butter, add more for thicker, add less for sweeter banana flavor!

You can add honey or fruit on top!
Get some berries and mash them and sauté them and drizzle it on top as a "syrup".
Or Add avocado both on top and in the actual batter. It was kinda cool cause it turned out green.


ENJOY!

Depending on whatever else you put on it... this serves one person. If you go fancy and add bacon etc. it could be for two. Also depends on how much you can eat! :D

PRIMAL NAM...NAM...NAM
