Meat Loaf
This is a great Meat Loaf (Dave just calls it Loaf) and it's one of Dave's all time favorites. He has it every 3rd day in his lunch.
Ingredients
- One pound of GROUND organic Turkey, Chicken, Lamb (or other protein of your choice)
- One jar of organic baby food Squash or Sweet Potatoes
- A little bit of nightshade free ketchup (see recipe above)
- Organic Coconut Flour
- Himalayan Sea Salt
- Organic Black pepper
- Organic Onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Lightly grease a glass loaf pan (I use organic olive oil or organic coconut oil)
- Put all ingredients in a bowl (this recipe is a little tricky as I just add a dab here and a dab there). Just add a dash of the ketchup, and a shake or two of the coconut flour, you can always add more of each once you see the consistency
- Mix all together thoroughly, with your hands
- Add more ketchup or flour if needed for consistency
- Place into baking dish and form into a loaf
- Bake for 1 hour
Notes
I usually make three of these at a time. You can bake all in the oven at once, just be sure they are evenly lined up on the top rack of the oven. After they have cooked and cooled, I spread nightshade free ketchup over the top. I freeze two and keep one in the fridge. These also freeze well.
Chicken Piccata
Chicken Piccata is one of my all-time favorite dishes. The original recipe calls for flour, eggs, and wine, so I knew Dave would never get to enjoy it. I tweaked the ingredients and figured out how to make it AIP Paleo friendly. And the sauce tasted so good, I had a couple spoonfuls myself! Now this is one of Dave's favorite dishes!
Ingredients
- 2 Organic Chicken Breasts
- Organic Olive Oil
- Organic Arrowroot powder
- Organic Chicken Broth (if you want to go AIP Paleo be sure the kind you get does not have paprika in it)
- Organic Lemon Juice (or fresh organic lemons)
- Organic Capers
- Organic Black Pepper
- Himalayan Sea Salt
Instructions
- Pound Chicken breasts
- Sprinkle both sides with Salt and Pepper
- Lightly dust each side with Arrowroot powder
- Put a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan (enough to cover th bottom of the entire pan and heat
- Place chicken breasts in pan and cook until browned on each side (about 5 minutes per side or until no longer pink). Remove chicken from pan but leave the juice/oil in the pan
- Add 1/2 cup of chicken broth
- Add 1/4 cup of lemon juice
- Sprinkle a dash more of arrowroot powder (if needed based on consistency)
- Use a whisk to stir up the sauce (if you put in too much powder it will get really thick so watch how much arrowroot powder you use)
- Let chicken simmer in sauce, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes (sauce will begin to thicken)
- Add capers and stir for another minute
Notes
The only bad thing about this recipe is the sauce is a 'one-time only use.' It just doesn't come back together if you try to freeze or refrigerate so only make what you plan to eat in one meal. Buon Appetito!
Enchiladas
I usually make the sauce in several batches and freeze (see sauce recipe). And then whenever Dave wants enchiladas, it's easy to throw this together.
Ingredients
- 4 Grain Free tortillas (I use Siete tortillas - the blue wrapping)
- 1/2 pound boiled and shredded chicken
- 1 - 1.5 cups of Cashew 'Cream' Cheese
- Enchilada Sauce
- Avocados
Instructions
- Put a little olive oil on the bottom of a glass casserole dish
- Smear some enchilada sauce at the bottom of the dish
- Fill 4 tortillas with shredded chicken, some cashew cheese dollups and then place in dish
- Pour a bit of enchilada sauce over the tortillas
- Bake for about 20 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven
- Place sliced avocados over enchiladas, pour more warm enchilada sauce over top
Glass Noodle Spaghetti with Garlic Bread
Again, this is more of an 'idea' rather than a recipe. I just found some great products. (Note this is also the 'nomato' sauce I use as the base for the enchilada sauce).
Ingredients
- One pound organic ground turkey
- One package of "Chung Jung One" Sweet Potato Glass Noodles
- One jar of "KC Natural" Carrot Marinara
- Two pieces of "Julian Bakery" Paleo Thin Bread
- Organic Olive Oil
- Organic Garlic Powder
- Organic Black Pepper
- Himalayan Sea Salt
Instructions
- Boil the glass noodles in water as directed on package
- Brown the turkey meat
- Drain noodles
- Add pasta sauce to meat
- Toast the bread, drizzle olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper
- Serve!
Coconut Cereal with Berries
This is more of just an idea rather than a recipe. I didn't 'make' any of this myself. Just found a great product!
Ingredients
- Organic, fresh berries
- Organic Banana
- Pro Granola Vegan Vanilla Cereal (I get from Julian's Bakery)
- Organic Coconut Milk (I get from Costco)
Instructions
- Pour the granola into a bowl
- Cut up fruit and add to granola
- Pour cold Coconut milk and Enjoy!
