Paleo Chili

Paleo Chili

 

I usually just wing this recipe, but a friend asked for the recipe, so I'll do my best. Hope it doesn't disappoint Corey!

1 1/2 lb Organic Grass fed Beef
1/2 to 1 lb of Fresh Pork Sausage
8-10 slices Nitrate free bacon (chopped into small pieces)
2 Cans of Organic diced Tomatoes
1/2 to 3/4 of a chopped onion
1/2 cup (or so) thinly sliced/chopped carrots
2-3 chopped or pressed cloves of garlic.
1 can black olive (optional)
Cayenne Pepper, Chili Powder, Cumin, dash of Oregano, Salt, Pepper, to taste
Arrowroot, just enough to thicken Chili, if needed.

In a large pot, add bacon and onion, saute together until onion is translucent. Add garlic saute for a few minutes (careful not to burn the garlic)
Add pork sausage and beef, continue cooking until all meats are done.
Add the cans of diced tomatoes (and olives, if using them) Add all spices and simmer on low for 30 - 60 minutes. The longer the low simmer, the more the flavors fuse together.

Makes about 4-6 average size bowls of Chili.

Kaytlyn's Carnitas Tacos, Paleo Style!

Well it's been quite a while since we started the nutrition challenge at OCF, 53 days to be exact! The 7 day count down to the 60 DAY mark begins....... Although, I must admit, I will likely continue in the way of "Paleo"!

Even Kaytlyn, my daughter has pretty much converted to the Paleo lifestyle. After battling with digestion issues all her life, and realizing that her daughter, Jaydin Lilly, (my sweet little princess grand daughter) was starting to suffer the with the same, Kaytlyn decided to change her eating! For the most part she has cut out dairy, grains and legumes, and guess what! No More intestinal cramping or digestive issues!! And sweet little Jaydin Lilly is doing great as well!

She even came up with a great tasting Paleo Carnita's Recipe


Ingredients:
2lb. (small) Pork Sirloin Tip Roast (or any lean cut of pork roast)

Celery (couple stalks)

Carrots (one or two)

Cilantro (to taste)

1/4 to 1/2 and Onion (to taste)

Salsa Verde (7 to 8 oz. depending on size of Roast

Salsa Rojo (for you gringo's, that just regular salsa, the red kind!)

Iceberg Lettuce



Place the Pork Roast in the crock pot

Finely chop, Celery, carrots, onion and cilantro, throw on top of pork roast in crock pot.

Add Salsa Verde, and Red salsa to taste.....if you like it spicy add more, mild add less!

If you wish to make a larger batch, just use a larger pork roast and adjust the rest of the ingredients accordingly.......it's not rocket science. :-)



Depending on the size of the pork roast, crock pot cooking time can vary from 6 to 8 hours.
The 2lb roast I made only took about 5 1/2 to 6hrs.

The meat should shred easily with a fork.


Gently separate the Iceberg lettuce leaves.

Use the iceberg lettuce leaves as your "Taco Shell", spoon the Carnitas meat in the center of the leaf, fold over and ENJOY!!

I usually serve with steamed cauliflower ...... kind of gives it a "rice" texture and is really very tasty!

Veggie and Ground Pork Soup

Day 23 of Oceanside Crossfit Paleo / Zone Challenge
Day 3 of NO WOD, due to my l lower back / hip pain.......funny thing is, I don't think it's from "woding", it's from carrying my 3 month old granddaughter around on my hip!

Truly starting to enjoy cooking again, it's been a long time since I enjoyed cooking! Just ask Steve!

Here's one I have made once or twice before, always good on a cool day.


Ingredients:
1lb. or so Ground (lean) pork
1/2 Red onion (chopped)
Tbs. or so of Olive oil
2 or 3 carrots (sliced)
3 or so stalks of celery (sliced)
1/2 head of Cauliflower (chopped)
2 or so stalks of Broccoli (chopped)
Sea salt
Fresh ground pepper
Bragg's Organic spices and seasoning sprinkles (there's like 24 different spices in it)
12oz. can of organic stewed or diced tomatoes
6-8 cups Organic sodium free chicken broth

Please Note: I really don't measure much......but you know what you like and how much you like it, so just go with it......it'll be good!

In a large stock pot, add olive oil and onions, cook until onions start to become translucent, add pork, salt and pepper to taste, continue cooking until pork is no longer pink. Add Chicken broth, veggies, can of tomatoes. Add spices to taste. Simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until veggies are cooked to desired tenderness.

Substitute: Beef stew meat for the pork, just cook the meat longer before adding veggies.
