BBQ Sauce

Simple BBQ Sauce

Great thing is, you can easily turn up or turn down the heat on this by adjusting the chili powder and honey ratios.

1 can of Tomato Sauce (8oz)
1/4 to 1/2 onion 
2-3 garlic cloves
1tsp. ground pepper
1 Tbs. of basalmic vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 Tbs. of Raw honey
1 Tbs. ground mustard

Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Add red pepper flakes to give the sauce a little kick. OR make it a bit sweeter by reducing heat and adding pure maple syrup, just a tad (maybe a tsp.)

Homemade Mixed Berry Ice Cream

 
Homemade Mixed Berry Paleo / Primal Ice Cream
 
This recipe can be made strict Paleo by substituting Coconut Milk or Almond Milk, it just won't be quite as creamy.
 
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream (or Coconut milk or Almond Milk )
1 1/2 Cups of Frozen Mixed Organic Berries
1 tsp of Organic Vanilla Extract
1/8 to 1/4 cup of Coconut granules ( tastes just as good without the "sugar")
 
Add Cream, Vanilla and Coconut sugar to blender first, then add mixed frozen berries. PULSE the blender for about 30 seconds to mix the ingredients and chop the berries. Continue to blend/pulse the mixture until smooth.
 
Serve immediately for soft serve consistency. Place in freezer for 15-20 minutes for firmer ice cream consistency.

Rosemary Bacon Chicken

 

Rosemary Bacon Chicken

 

Ingredients

4 tsp garlic powder

4 boneless, skinless organic-free range chicken breasts

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

4 sprigs fresh rosemary

4 thick slices bacon (should be nitrate free)

Instructions

Preheat outdoor grill for medium-high and oil grates

Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Lay one rosemary sprig on top of each chicken breast and wrap a slice of bacon around to hold the rosemary in place. Secure each piece of bacon with a toothpick or another rosemary sprig.

Cook the breasts about 8 minutes per side on the grill, or until juices run clear and there is no pink in the middle. Can be cooked indoors as well: Heavy skillet, If you are cooking chicken in a pan on the stove, more time is needed per side. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165° F. If you are roasting chicken in the oven, place chicken on baking tray at 350F for 40 minutes, or until fully cooked.

This recipe inspired in part or in whole from here.
