    What a brilliant idea. ;D

    Noms over the past few days:

    8463516893_95819419fc.jpg

    Ox heart/liver nachos on sweet potato crisps, topped with GY, guar and salsa.

    8472436062_8f1259a311.jpg

    Salmon sushi with a crapton of wasabi sauce. Because I like wasabi sauce.

    8465125997_d77c34f4f6.jpg

    Pumpkin cinammon sludge. That's a whole kg (1000g) of pumpkin, a tad bit of cinnamon and stevia, left to chill in the freezer for a few hours. Truth be told... that's only half of it. I ate the other half while mulching it up - it's too damn tasty, hot, to cold.

    8466221320_a11ab7a17e.jpg

    Chocolate caramel version pod the above. Om nom nom.


    8471840133_ceee9d6ca5.jpg

    Goat steaks and baked potato, all coated in a homemade goat-feta gravy, because I felt like being ironic.

    :D I enjoy this. Does that make me weird?

    Im confused, rice is ok on Paleo/Primal?
    .

    Like potatoes, it's considered a "safe starch". Whether you choose to have t or not, I guess, is up to you.

    Sure. :)

    You will need:
    -Bacon (at least two strips)
    -Potato (of your preference)
    -Ox heart (cow)
    -Ox liver (cow)
    -Assorted vegetables (mushrooms, capsicum, broccoli, carrots, nori wraps)
    -Tomatoes (canned or whole)
    -Spices of choice (Paprika/Cumin/Tumeric/Etc)

    Preparing the heart and liver:
    -This deserves a little section of it's own. Basically, get the heart and slice all the fat off it. Why? Because it looks gross and adds unnecessary chew factor to the meal. Bleh. Then, slice the heart into thin strips - then, slice the strips into cubes. Do the same with the liver - thin strips, then cubes. Place both the liver and heart chunks into a bowl and mulch together.
    -Note that the heart is a lot like a steak in texture, whereas the liver is a lot more... Squelchy. When mulching together, keep that in mind.
    -If you have a meat grinder, then I'm jealous. Use tha, instead.

    1: Slice your bacon strips into pieces, then lay them out in a pan and leave to fry.
    2: Slice your potato(s) into very thin crisps and lay upon a baking tray. Garnish with a seasoning of your choice (I use garlic pepper and salt) and place in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius (I think 350 Fahrenheit, not too sure)
    3: Now a good put of bacon grease is bubbling in the pan, pour your heart/liver mulch on top of it. Stir, making sure all of it gets to taste the heat.
    4; Once a good deal of the mix is browned, pour in your canned tomatoes. The meat will now cook a lot slower. Leave it to simmer for a bit.
    5:Whilst simmering, slice up your veggies - mushroom, carrots, broccoli - whatever, doesn't matter. Try to get a lot of 'em, because they add a good deal of bulk to your meal.
    6: When veggies are sliced, pour them into the pan and stir. Mix it in nicely so the meat/veggies are balanced throughout the pan - you don't want to have one serving meat, half serving meat tasting veggies. That would be weird, and disappointing for whoever received the latter dish.
    7: While stirring, add in your spices. Try not to add anything to spicy... It can really ruin the taste. My favourites are smoked paprika, cumin and Tumeric.
    8: WHOA. Better check on your chips. Srsly, you should have been keeping an eye on them throughout the whole process; they only take about 15-20 minutes to bake. Take them out of the oven and distribute onto a plate(s).
    9: Once your satisfied the mixture is complete, spoon out your desired serving (for me, all of it :D) on top of the chips. Ay leftovers can be stored in a Tupperware in the fridge - assuming some are left over.
    10: Enjoy! :D

    That's all there is to it, really. If you eat dairy, put some cheese on top and microwave it to get it all nice and melty. I also love to top it with Greek yoghurt, guacamole and salsa... Because nachos just isn't nachos without guac and salsa. ^_^

    Leftover lamb-bacon chilli on white rice with cheese, salsa and guac. Weird thing is, 150g of uncooked rice fills me up WAAAAY more than roughly a kilo (1000g) of potatoes. I struggled to eat this.
    Really. It's as if I *couldn't* have eaten another two platefuls and dessert. ;D

    Primal "Black Forest Ice Cream".
    Basically, two frozen, whipped bananas with a scoop of whey protein, two tablespoons of cocoa powder, raspberries and half a strawberry lint bar. OM!

    Tommorow night's dinner.

    I'm thinking... fried with some grass-fed butter as a steak, with a side of potatoes and eggs, garnished in homemade goat feta gravy. I dunno. Might change my mind, depending on how i feel.
    As for dessert, well, I have half a lint bar to finish. :D
