Southwest breakfast scramble

Good morning! I've never really been a breakfast fan, I'm never really been an egg fan...as long as something is mixed into my eggs I will eat them! Last night for dinner we had stuffed bell peppers, and I have a little bit of ground beef leftover, so after my workout I threw the ground beef in a pan let it get warm put my eggs in one time and tell they were done added some guacamole and salsa. Bam! You have yourself a Southwest breakfast scramble! 

Dinner idea

I have to admit sometimes it's hard to come up with dinner ideas because my family isn't on the whole Paleo idea (yet)

My husband is okay with eating meat and a veggie but always wants something else on the side, I just always skip that something else. The other night I made salmon and asparagus, it was so good! 

Kale chips

This is new to us! I've seen lots of ways to make these, I used garlic and chili powder with some extra virgin olive oil and then turned on the oven to 400° let it pre heat and then turned it off and put in the cookie sheets for about 20 minutes 

Hamburger/ turkey soup

1 bottle tomato/ vegetable juice

1lb hamburger/ ground turkey 

1 can rotel

1/2  onion

Brown one pound of hamburger/turkey, add taco seasoning,  add in onions and a can of rotel. In a separate pan diced potatoes and semi pan fry your potatoes, only used a splash of oil, add both pans together and let simmer.

The boys are gonna have ranch style beans along side! 

It was a quick filling meal! Yum!  

Happy new year!!!!

You know the whole 'New year, new me!'

That's not one of these posts... We had a very low-key, iced in, Watch movies with the kids Kinda night. We made burgers, everyone had red velvet cake (I didn't touch it) And had snackfood! 

This was my burger

Turkey burger with avocado wrapped in lettuce! So yummy!!!! 

My Paleo chili

It's super cold in Texas this week and because my husband works outside in it I made chili to warm him up! He's weird and only thinks you can have chili and stews when it's cold. So here it is my Paleo chili recipe

Ingredients: 

1lbs ground beef or ground turkey 

1/2 onion 

1 can tomato paste

1 can diced tomatoes 

1 can rotel (I know not really compliant) rinsed 

2 Tbls chili powder

1 Tbls cumin

1 tsp garlic

splash of water 

What to do:

Brown beef or turkey, add in diced onion until onion is clear

Add in chili powder, cumin, garlic and splash of water

Add in tomato paste, diced tomatoes and rinsed Rotel 

Leave on burner on low until desired thickness

(You could also add in bell pepper and zucchini, when simmering.) I forgot this time... 

Top with avocado and enjoy!

2. I was looking on Pinterest for a great zucchini bread recipe and came across a bunch of yummy looking ones! Next time I'm going to make a chocolate loaf... This time was trial (and alittle error)  I'll explain later... This is what I can up with after merging a few recipes

5. Ingredients:

10. ½ tsp. nutmeg
11. 4 eggs
12. 3 Tbsp. raw honey 
13. 1 cup (1 medium) zucchini, shredded
14. 1 banana, mashed
15. 1 Tbsp. coconut oil, extra if greasing your pan

What to do: 

Preheat oven to 350

In 1 of 2 mixing bowls shred zucchini and  all dry ingredients

Here's what I did wrong. I have temptations stone ware that is nonstick but I did grease the pan... It's a little greasy on the bottom 😜 I also used only a half cup of coconut flour, but think more flour would make it not as eggy (is that a word?)  all in all it's yummy! 

Enjoy! 

My sweet potato!

Oh my sweet potato! Since going Paleo I have been using a lot of sweet potatoes, instead of regular potatoes. The other day I diced up a sweet potato smeared a little coconut oil on some foul and wrapped it up and tossed it in the oven along with diced up chicken wrapped up in foil and baked at 400° for about 30 minutes. After it comes out of the oven I sprinkle some cinnamon on my sweet potatoes and season my chicken with garlic salt and pepper. Yum!
