Paleo Flax Bread

One of the things that I really miss with a Paleo diet is a chunk of warm brown bread with Sunday dinner or a winter stew.  My husband misses sandwiches as that is is easy go to lunch when I'm not home.  It took me some trial and error but I think I have come up with one that tastes very similar to my old recipe for quick brown bread.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup flax meal
1/3 cup amaranth flour
Sea salt to taste
1 tsp baking powder
3 tsp avocado oil
1 egg plus 2 egg whites
Approx 1/4 cup water

How To:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare a loaf pan by lining with parchment paper.
3. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bow.
4. In another bowl mix egg and egg whites together with avocado oil.
5. Add the egg and oil mixture to the dry ingredients and combine thoroughly.
6. Add just enough water that the batter will pour slowly into your loaf pan.
7. Cook for 20 - 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.

This turned out quite well but not the best for sandwiches as it makes a very small, flat loaf.  The flavour and texture were excellent though and went very well with our Roast Duck.  I will re-visit this one and attempt to make a bigger loaf next time.

Cheeseburger Pie Continuing Evolution

Image
Almost a year ago   I posted The Evolution of A Recipe showing how I have changed the recipe for Impossible Cheeseburger Pie over the years so that my family could continue to enjoy it even though our eating habits have changed.  I have made yet another change to that delicious recipe and want to share it with all of you.  Below is my recipe from a year ago with a couple changes.  Most of it will stay the same, the change is to the biscuit mix.  I have hi-lited the changes by changing the text colour to red.  Happy Cooking! My NEW Paleo Version Impossible Cheeseless Burger Pie Ingredients: 1 lb. extra lean ground grass fed beef 1 med. yellow onion chopped 1/4 tsp sea salt 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper 2 fresh chopped Jalapenos (I remove the seeds so they aren't quite as hot) 2 cloves garlic smashed and chopped 2 tsp chili powder 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp paprika 1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne 1 1/2 c.

First of all, sorry I have been on a bit of a hiatus lately.  It has been a very busy summer and a lot of my free time has been spend training to finish the last couple things I need for my AKC 2. It has paid off though, summer isn't over yet and I can already do 2 pull ups!  Anyway, I came up with a delicious recipe the other day that I just had to share with everyone.  This took a bit of trial and error but it was worth it.  The boys love these and they are paleo, nut free and safe for school.  I know it is still a few weeks away but it's coming quickly! Ingredients: 1 500g jar of sunflower seed butter or tahini (unsalted) (I prefer the tahini as it has a bit of a stronger, more peanut flavour) 2 Omega 3 eggs 1 cup maple syrup 1 TBSP pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup pure cocoa powder 1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt 1 tsp baking soda "Peanut Butter" Swirl ingredients: 1/8 cup tahini 1 TBSP maple syrup pinch Celtic sea salt How To: 1.

Red Thai Curry with Shrimp This is probably my favourite food.  You can easily substitute cooked, sliced chicken for the shrimp but is just so easy with shrimp and very tasty.  My version is packed with veggie goodness just to add to the health benefits.  I usually serve this over brown jasmine rice but it would work equally as well over riced cauliflower.  I was cooking for 5 people and a toddler so I made quite a bit.  I will half the ingredients in this recipe but know that it doubles well.  I only had 1 can of coconut cream so I just added a bit more broth and curry paste and it was good so it's a pretty versatile and forgiving recipe. Recipe: Ingredients: 1 Bag frozen raw shrimp, peeled, tails off 2 green onions Thumb sized piece of ginger grated 2 garlic cloves minced 1/2 red bell pepper sliced thin 1/2 yellow or orange bell pepper sliced thin 1 small zucchini sliced 1 small carrot grated 1 can coconut milk/cream 1/4 to 1/2 c...
