Paleo "Potato Salad"

This potato-less salad is yummy. There are many variations of this and you add anything you like but this time I have added bacon. Its a great addition to any salad or sometimes I add it to dinner when my other half has potatoes.

5 florets of cauliflower
4 pieces of fried bacon
Mayonnaise
Pepper
Parsley

Steam the cauliflower for 10 minutes or until tender
Run under cold water to stop the cooking process and to cool down
Break the cauliflower into small pieces into a bowl
Add the rest of ingredients and mix until all incorporated.

enjoy!!

Chicken Hotpot

So, after a fairly hectic and sometimes un-Paleo weekend, I have crash landed into Monday again!

It is a horrible damp evening here so comfort food is definitely the order of the day for dinner!

This recipe is actually one of my M.I.Ls and didnt need much tweaking so its going to be a firm resident on our menu from now on!

Serves 3
3 x chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
1 x medium onion chopped
2 x garlic cloves chopped finely
4 x pieces of bacon sliced
3 x carrots peeled and sliced
1 x parsnip peeled and sliced
2 x sweet potato sliced finely
1 x litre of chicken stock
1 tbs coconut oil

Heat the oil in a pan and cook the bacon, remove from the pan
Add chicken and cook in coconut and bacon oil in batches until browned, remove from pan and set aside with bacon
Add onion and garlic to pan and cook for 2 -3 minutes
Return bacon and chicken to pan and add chicken stock.
Add carrots and parsnips and bring to the boil. Reduce to simmer for 15 mins.
Add sliced sweet potato to the top of the pot for last 10 minutes.
Cook until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.

Vegetable Surprise Omelette

Saturdays are generally shopping day in our house, so there is usually very little left in the fridge for breakfast! So this mornings omelette surprise involved using up all the leftover vegetables - throw in a few eggs and voila! Paleo friendly breakfast!

Mine consisted of yellow peppers, red onion, a mushroom and leftover courgette.

Fried off in coconut oil until soft and I added 3 eggs and cooked until cooked through.
I flipped mine but you can also grill the top if you find that easier.

On the side I had half an avocado and 1 piece of bacon (thats all there was left!!)

Yummy and packed full of protein and good fats.
I need all the fat I can get today I have housework to catch up on and a girls night out planned tonight so soakage is very much needed!

Lunch will be leftover Butter Chicken from last night.

Lets hope there are Paleo friendly drinks and snacks tonight and my friends are non judgemental about my new lifestyle!!
