For Fairysoul:
Primal Reese's Cups
Tools:
paper cupcake wrappers
a cupcake pan
a double boiler or bowl that fits on top of a pot
Ingredients:
2 bars of dark chocolate (I prefer 85%)
1-2 tbs. coconut oil
room temperature nut butter (almond, peanut, whatever you prefer)
1/2 a banana, sliced super thin
Directions:
-line cupcake pan with wrappers
-heat an inch or two of water in a pot on the stove, careful not to boil
-put bowl or double boiler on top of pot making sure the water level is not high enough to touch the bowl
-break 1 chocolate bar into pieces and slowly melt in double boiler with 1 tbs. coconut oil
(be careful not to get it too hot or the chocolate will separate like oil and coffee grounds and be ruined)
-pour melted chocolate into cupcake wrappers, creating the bottom layer of the Reese's Cup. Make it as thick as you want. Usually I get 9 cups out of 1 chocolate bar
-stick the pan in the freezer until chocolate is solid
-dollop a tsp of nut butter onto the center of each cup
-push thin banana slices into the nut butter so it spreads over the cup evenly, but doesn't touch the edges of the wrapper
-place back into freezer so it hardens up a little
-heat up second chocolate bar the same way as the first
-pour remaining chocolate into cups so the sides and top of the banana slice are completely covered, sealing it in and making a "Reese's Peanut Butter Cup"
-put back in freezer so top layer can solidify
-keep refrigerated until eaten
(the coconut oil makes them melt fast at room temperature, so if that's a problem you can always just not use the coconut oil)0 -

My bad if these come out too big; I'm new to the photo-resizing thing.
Breakfast: Salmon fillet baked in lime juice and pepper with a side of avocado and boiled eggs, covered and capers and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
Lunch: Leftover minced lamb from the night before (Lamb-Chilli "Nachos") with - a rare treat - a coconut flour wrap, genuinely fried in coconut oil. Topped with some cottage cheese and homemade chilli-sauce. And what else could go with it other than a glass of chilled whiskey?
Dinner: Mmm... Portabello mushroom burgers with lettuce, beetroot, avocado and tomato interior. The meat? Minced beef with onion and basil. The fries? Sweet potato of course, coated in paprika and garlic pepper. Not pictured is the cottage cheese with tamarillo chutney for dipping. What is pictured is my glass of whiskey - the perfect side to dinner.
Dessert: Not the nicest looking things in the world (I took a crack at making them instead of Fangrok, and it was my first time) - inspired by a fellow member - Dark chocolate Almond butter cups.
Om, Freaking. Nom.0 -

Let's see if I can remember all the things in these. I wish they were more colorful :ohwell:
Pumpkin pie- We repurposed our pumpkin "pudding" for the filling. Pumpkin puree, coconut milk, pecans, almond butter, and chia seeds. Crust is just assorted nuts and seeds, with a little butter, one egg, honey, and almond milk.
Threw this one together one night with leftovers. Smoked salmon pieces in a brown butter sage sauce, sautéed spinach, and garlic sweet potatoes.
Roasted chicken (we always have a few frozen, whole chickens)
This was about 5 fillets of smoked trout (that a friend gave us after he caught them up in the mountains) and salmon. We still have leftovers, lol.
Smoked salmon and trout with lemon pepper kale chips, roasted sweet potatoes, and fried onion straws and sweet potato skins.
ETA: I tried resizing. Sorry guys!0 -
Not a recipe of my own but I just made an awesomely rich caesar salad and dressing using this recipe:
http://www.health-bent.com/salads/paleo-bacon-fat-caesar-salad
Super tasty and very quick to make. Didn't have any chicken so toasted some walnuts instead and used a little fish sauce in place of the anchovy. Great recipe for those aren't really a fan of salad :-)0 -
Salmon looks amazing!!! The pumpkin pie is a must try!! I am going to make that!0

Ooh yummy! Looks so good!
Here's some more recent eats from our place:
Pork patties and poached eggs on salad with sauteed asparagus and sesame seeds
Leftover pork patties for brekky the morning after, wrapped in bacon
Bacon, poached eggs and creamy mushrooms for brekky this morning0 -

Chocolate avocado tart from last night.
Here's the recipe-
Chocolate Fudge Crust Ingredients:
1 Cup Pitted Dates
1 Cup Slivered Almonds
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Tbsp Cocoa
Chocolate Avocado Pudding Ingredients:
4 Avocados
1/4 Tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
4 Tbsp Agave (Maple Syrup, Honey or Stevia)
2 Packets Stevia
1/3 Cup Natural Cocoa
1/2 Cup Melted Dark Chocolate Chips
We prebaked the crust a little, but it can just be frozen too. Then just poured in the pudding, froze, and topped with shredded coconut.
We halved the recipe, and in the crust, we also used figs and pecans. We didn't have dark chocolate chips, so we melted cocoa, coconut oil, and a little butter to substitute. Also used raw honey instead of agave. So rich and filling. Very dark chocolate taste.
