    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 C Almond Flour 1 tsp Bak

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.
