Paleo Egg Muffins

• 12 eggs (organic, free range)
• A little coconut oil, olive oil or grass-fed butter to line the muffin tins with
• Sea salt + pepper to taste
• Vegetables — I made the following 3 kinds:

1. Tomato + basil (1/4 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil)
2. Kale + garlic (1/2 cup chopped kale, 3 cloves chopped garlic)
3. Cilantro + green onion (1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup green onion)

Pre-heat oven to 350. Lightly grease muffin tins with coconut oil, olive oil or grass-fed butter.
Chop veggies.
Whisk eggs well in a large bowl, add sea salt + pepper.


Stir in veggies. (If you’re making different flavors, you’ll need to ration the eggs into different bowls for each flavor).

Pour into muffin tins.

Bake for 20-25 mins, or until eggs are fully cooked through.
That’s it! Awesome, yes? I know. And you can add whatever else you want to these.

My recommendation: Since these are just eggs and veggies, I personally like to add a little something else on top after they’re cooked – like sliced avocado, hot sauce, maybe a little goat cheese. So try out different variations and see.

Paleo Coconut Chicken 

Ingredients

• 1 package or about 1 pound of Trader Joe’s Organic Boneless Skinless Free Range Chicken Tenders (or you can cut up chicken breasts yourself) 
• 1/2 cup of almond or coconut flour (I prefer almond)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of organic pasture raised heavy whipping cream (optional)
• 1 Cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• Seasonings - sea salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika and lemon pepper if you so choose (play around with seasonings)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees 
2. Rinse chicken
3. Grease a cookie sheet with coconut oil
4. Set aside three bowls - one for the flour, one for the coconut and one for the 2 eggs beat together 
5. Dip chicken strip in the flour, then the egg mixture then the coconut and lay strip on cookie sheet (repeat until all are coated)
6. Bake at 400 for about 12-15 minutes depending on your oven.  I like mine a little more well done.
7. Mix a little ketchup with cayenne pepper and dip away! 

Homemade Spiced Roasted Cashews

Ingredients:

• 4 cups raw organic whole cashews
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1.5 tsp sea salt (less if you don’t like salty nuts)
• 2 Tbsp avocado oil or melted coconut oil

Method:
Preheat the oven to 325. Put aluminum foil or parchment on a cookie sheet. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine all ingredients. Spread the nuts out in a single layer on the cookie sheet.  Bake for 15 minutes, stirring and flipping every five minutes. Remove to paper towels to soak up any excess oil and allow to cool.

Paleo Crockpot Cashew Chicken

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs boneless skinles chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/4 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot flour (Asian market for tapioca flour, Whole Foods for arrowroot flour)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 Tbsp lard, coconut oil, avocado oil, or ghee
• 2 green onions, chopped (white parts and green parts separated)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tbsp paleo ketchup or organic tomato paste
• 1 Tbsp palm sugar
• 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, minced, or 1/4 tsp dried ginger
• 1 Tbsp sesame oil
• 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 3 Tbsp coconut aminos (or gluten free tamari…it is not “paleo” but better than going straight soy sauce)
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 cup cashews
• Method:
  
  • In a bag, combine the black pepper and flour.  Add the chicken and jostle the bag to coat the meat.  In a skillet, cook the chicken for a few minutes on medium-high heat.  
  • In a bowl, combine all other ingredients (except for the green parts of the onion and cashews)
  • Put the chicken and sauce into a crockpot. Stir in the cashews.
  • Cook on low for 2-3 hours
  • Add the remaining green onion when serving.
  You could eat this right out of a bowl, with endive or lettuce cups, or over “riced” cauliflower
