    Just wondering how this is paleo with the sorghum in there?

    I am so sorry, I have been rather neglectful of my blog lately. I posted this recipe when I was still very new to Paleo and have since stopped using it. When I first began researching flour alternatives, Sorghum was one that kept popping up as a grass. I have since realized that it is not actually the grass part of the plant that is used for the flour but the seed which is a type of grain. It is well tolerated by the gluten intolerant but is not completely Paleo. I mainly use coconut and nut flours now. My kids can not take nuts to school though so if I am making for them I will use a mixture of coconut, tapioca and arrowroot flour. The tapioca and arrowroot are not good for someone who is on a paleo induction as they are high glycemic but as a better alternative to store bought, processed "treats", I am ok with it. I try to keep an open mind about everything that I read. In order to stick with this as a lifestyle and not become a weird fanatic I allow some things here and there that may not always be completely Paleo. There is a great quote in Paleo Comfort Foods by Julie and Charles Mayfield. In their book, the quote Andrew Badenoch at evolify.com "Paleo is a logical framework applied to modern humans, not a historical re-enactment." I love that quote, I don't necessarily cook according to the way a caveman may or may not have eaten. I cook good, whole, natural ingredients into great tasting, nutritious food and that is what works for me and my family. Thank you for reading my post and for your comment. I will change the name of the recipe to primal as it is not actually Paleo.

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. Almond or coconut milk 1/4 C Coconut Flour 3/4 ...

Paleo Chocolate "Peanut Butter" Brownies

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. Pre-heat o...

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...
