Eggplant fries

Don't know what to do with all the eggplant you got from your CSA or garden? Make eggplant fries! I used a little tapioca flour in the mix, about 1/6 of a cup and used coconut oil instead of olive oil. Great recipe!

Zucchini fries

Melt in your mouth goodness! :) Ididn't use the called for cheese and would flip over the fries at ten minutes rather then fifteen. I also used a French fry cutter on the smaller grate. Recipe below!

Paleo tortillas by Ms. Paleo Eats

Joyous day in the Grandjean home! After years of not having a paleo friendly tortilla I finally found an amazing recipe! I didn't have lard so I just used chilled butter. Turned out great! Doubled the recipe and baked in the oven for 5min at 400 degrees. Will try the skillet next because the edges were too crispy. Here is the link to the recipe. Made enchiladas with them. So flexible and easy to work with once cooled.

Paleo Skillet Egg Bake

Hi everyone!

So me and my husband started getting our first bag of CSA groceries and they were full of greens! :) We got a full share so it's quite a bit. I decided to make a frittata to use up some. It tasted really good, but a tad dry. I think I over cooked it by just a bit so I lowered the cooking time in this recipe! I was inspired my Nom Nom Paleo's Easy Bake Frittata recipe.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon coconut oil or fat of choice

3 pieces of bacon, cooked & diced

2 Adelle sausages,cooked and diced ( chicken & apple is my fav)

2 cups of diced greens (chard, spinach, kale)

2 green onions, minced 

6 large pastured eggs

3 tablespoons coconut milk

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Freshly-ground black pepper

First, preheat the oven to 350°F and heat the coconut oil in an 8-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat.Saute greens & green onions. In a small bowl whisk eggs, milk of choice, and salt and pepper. Once greens are cooked add protein and mix together in skillet. Pour over egg mixture and cook for 3 mins. Put in oven for 8 to 10 mins, then broil for a couple mins until frittata fluffs up. Serve & enjoy!

GAHHH!!

Sorry I haven't posted in YEARS! I have been slacking. Started working two jobs for a couple years. Got Pregnant last year and had a son 11/26/2013. His name is Claudio Ryker Grandjean. He goes by Ryker :). Anyways I am getting a new phone and all my recipes I've saved will be lost :(. So I thought I would start up again to keep them in one easy area. So get ready to see a lot of posts.

Coconut Flour Pie Crust by Nutty Kitchen

Yummmmm!

    So my husband has had trouble digesting nuts for a couple months so I started researching new pie crust for thanksgiving since the ones I made last year had nut crusts. Came across this recipe by Nutty Kitchen. Very simple and easy! Turned out great and have no complaints! Was able to eat a healthier dessert for thanksgiving with success! I filled it with homemade pumpkin pie filling. Here is the link to her website and recipe. 

Easy Cheesy Rolls By Mrs. PaleO Eats

HELLO!!!!!

    Ok so when I came across Mrs. PaleO Eats website I was thrilled!!!!!!! I had to try her recipe! All of them sound amazing and pretty simple in directions and ingredients. I recently came across tapioca flour a couple months ago and am pleased to say it makes a very good alternative to flour or corn starch as a thickener. I found out about it when I started making sweet potato fries! Any who this recipe is AMAZING! I cannot express how amazing these rolls taste warm! I also didn't hand mix it like the recipe called for. I just threw it together in my food processor so it was well blended and even more bread like. 

Here is a link to her recipe!!!
