Awesome chicken BBQ sliders

As I promised.

2 green plantains
1 chicken breast
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup Cole slaw mix
1 avocado
1 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup Olive oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 an apple

Preheat oven to 350F.

Use 3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce to coat chicken breast and bake.

Heat coconut oil in skillet. Cut off end of plantain, slice peel and pull off peel.  Cut into 3 sections.  And fry until light Brown on all sides. Remove from pan and mash each plantain flat with something flat and solid like a cast iron skillet, clean flat rock, or if you happen to own a tostonas maker. Re fry until crisp. Place on paper towel to remove access oil and sprinkle with sea salt.

Boil egg in water for 45 seconds to kill bacteria then crack into blender and whip for about 1 minute, slowly add olive oil. Add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and 1/2 an apple. Season with salt. Pour over coleslaw cabbage mix.
Slice chicken breast. Slice avocado.

Build in this order.
Plantain, chicken, coleslaw, avocado and drizzle with leftover BBQ sauce!

Hope you enjoy! Absolutely delicious!

Pancake morning!

My daughter asks for pancakes almost every morning! Definitely one of her favorite foods next to bacon and eggs. It's interesting how she use to eat gluten filled pancakes before we learned about Paleo. She prefers the almond pancakes. They are quite delicious!

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup almond milk
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon arrowroot
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Paleo pasta!

I've had a few people ask me what type of pasta can they eat. The answer use to be none beside spaghetti squash or making zucchini noodles but now we have real Paleo pasta!!! It taste more like a whole wheat noodle but none of the horrible wheat and gluten. Enjoy!

Recipe serves 2 but is super filling!

1/4 cup flax meal
6 tablespoons hot water
1 egg
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cups flax meal
4 tablespoons coconut flour
1/4 cup arrowroot powder

In a bowl combine 1/4 cup flax with hot water then stir in applesauce, egg and salt.

Pour remaining flax, coconut flour and arrowroot. Use extra arrowroot if dough is too sticky. Knead dough until well mixed.

Boil pot of salted water.

Roll out dough as thinly as possible between 2 sheets of parchment paper.  Use knife to cut dough into strips. Boil noodles for 20 seconds. Strain and serve warm with ghee and chives or pasta sauce.
