    YUM!
  • This was delicious! Grass-fed beef burgers with chiles and spices mixed in, on top of an avocado/roasted red pepper sauce and topped with sauteed peppers.

    Seared ahi salad with homemade dressing of fresh ground wasabi root from the Asian market, olive oil, pomegranate vinegar and coconut aminos. Somewhere under all that fish is thin sliced baby carrot, some diced red and green bell pepper, scallions and super thin sliced radish. Oh and cucumber. SO good!

    I just love these pictures! Everything looks sooooo good! Plus they have been great for giving me different ideas when I'm stuck in a rut!

    I've never actually had ahi, but love seafood. Is it overly 'fishy' or more on the 'mild' side? Just curious...might have to try some!

    I don't find it overly fishy like some might find salmon to be, and I personally like it on the rare side which I think keeps down any strong flavor. The best thing is to find it somewhere that gets it SUPER fresh and then its very mild. Its pricey but you can usually get a small chunk to test out

    Candy bites: (I've never posted a picture in a thread before, I hope it works!)

    f1f6a99cedb911e18bc012313804ac71_7.jpg

    I found the recipe off Paleo Plan:

    Ingredients: 3 Tbs coconut oil
    1/4 cup carob powder or cocoa (optional)
    1/2 cup ground nuts (almonds, hazelnuts)
    3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
    1 Tbs raw honey (optional, add more to taste)
    parchment paper

    Instructions:
    Melt the honey and coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
    Once combined, add the carob, ground nuts and coconut and mix together.
    Pour mixture onto a small baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Form into a square when cool enough to touch.
    Refrigerate until hardened. Cut into 4 servings.

    I cut it into smaller bite size pieces. YUM!

    I cheat and use a bottled marinade! Either Italian dressing, Lawry's or Jack Daniel's mesquite. I marinade the meat, which might be labeled as skirt steak, for at least 3 hours then broil it in a broiler pan in the broiler or BBQ if I have time! Easy peasy!

    Oh, where can I find that sweet potato hash recipe??
  • SweetxCatastrophe
    SweetxCatastrophe Posts: 593 Member
    I made up the hash recipe as I went :) here's what I did:

    Microwave a small sweet potato (about 3oz for one person). You can pre bake it in the oven too but I'm impatient
    When cooked and slightly cooled, dice the potato in small cubes.
    Meanwhile in a pan over medium, cook diced bacon (I just cut it with my kitchen sissors), 1/4cup sliced onion, and 1/3total of red and green diced bell peppers.
    Once the veggies are a little soft and the bacon has rendered off its fat, toss in the diced sweet potato.
    Cook everything together until the potatoes get slightly crisp on the outside (mine took about 5min)
    Top with eggs and hot sauce if you like

    Huge brunch. I was in a meat mood when I woke up this morning... Probably won't be hungry till dinner. Sausage, bacon, prosciutto and copa cooked in the bacon fat until crisp, eggs, a small avocado and some of the pickled green beans I made. I might have a little piece of mango to wash it all down if I can manage lol

    Went to a local sushi place for dinner and I was excited to find that they had riceless rolls! I found riceless roles at a more "upscale" sushi place but I was surprised to find them in my local strip mall sushi joint. Tuna (ahi and yellowtail), salmon and avocado wrapped in cucumber with a sauce of vinegar and whole grain mustard. SO GOOD!

    I have never tried bok choy, what should I expect if I do?
  • I've had bok choy before and always thought it was delicious! But, this was my first time cooking it. The recipe called for baby bok choy (more tender/less cooking time), but all I had was regular bok choy. Thus, it cooks a little longer. I chopped the stems (white portion) separate from the green leaves, and tossed them in to saute first, and once they were tender (3-5 minutes) but still had a crisp to them, I tossed in the leaves...which only took about 2 minutes to cook down. I used this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/bacon-y-bok-choy/ but with a few tweaks/additional veggies. :)
