Organic Ville Sesame and Teriyaki Sauce & Marinade

Today I was at Publix and saw this great looking selection of dressings, sauces, etc at Publix.  It seems our Publix keeps adding tons of organic, gluten free products each week.  I had no idea as to what we were having for dinner but after I saw this sauce I knew right away it was going to be stir fry night!  Oh yeah! 

I also saw that Publix has fresh sliced, chopped veggies for stir fry all ready and packaged for you near the fruit and salad area just for stir fry which sounded perfect to me!  I used top round steak also.

I would give this sauce a 10!  It was delish!  Perfect dinner which was quick and easy!

Flatbread Pizza with shredded boston butt, red onion, and bell pepper

Tonight I made a flat bread pizza with flat out bread that was very similar to an entree Justin ordered at a place last week.  I already had everything on hand so it was super easy and fast to make!

flat out bread
pizza sauce
mozzerella cheese
bell peppers
red onion
seasonings (Italian, garlic, parmesan cheese)

I placed some pizza sauce over the flat out bread and sprinkled garlic salt, italian seasoning, and some parmesan cheese over it.

Next just add your toppings! And bake for 10 minutes at 350 degree's.

ENJOY!

Boston Butt over shredded Cabbage!

This morning I put a boston butt in the crock pot before heading out the door for work.  When I got home it was done!

I then shredded it and stuck in back in the crock pot until later when Justin got home.

I served mine over shredded cabbage which was left over from last night's soup!  Enjoy!

Taco Tuesday!

Tonight was Taco night.....a fav in our house!  I usually make the kids a seperate skillet of beef as they do not care for onions, peppers, etc in their beef.  It usually makes enough for one more additional night during the week which is great since I am working all month!  I did use the El Paso dinner kit and I used the seasoning it came with for the kids beef.  I used a paleo recipe I found online for ours which def does not taste the same but it works!

                                 I cook our beef with bell peppers, red onion, and green onion.

Taco Seasoning Recipe:

2 T chili powder
1-1/2 T cumin
1-1/2 T paprika
1 T onion powder
1 T garlic powder
2 tsp oregano (which I left out of the picture :/)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (I used crushed red pepper since I did not have red pepper flakes)

Taste it and add more seasoning...this recipe did not do it for me as far as taste...so taste and keep adding!

I made a taco salad.....bed of lettuce, beef, tomato's, jalepeno's, extra fresh onion, and topped with avocado and salsa(Publix has the best organic green wise salsa)....  Enjoy!

 

Paleo Cabbage Soup-YUM!

So my mom gave us a huge ham at Christmas which was totally awesome!  I knew right then I would get at least 3-4 meals out of it!  We ate regular sliced ham last week and froze 2 bags + 1 bag to munch on in the fridge.  I googled Paleo leftover ham and found this recipe = Paleo Cabbage Soup w/ leftover ham!   Score!

Here are the fresh items I used along with the ham that I chopped (not pictured).  I used yellow onion and red onion since that is what I had on hand.

 

1/2 head cabbage;

 

2 TBSP Paleo cooking fat; (I used coconut oil)

1 onion, chopped; (I used 1/2 yellow and 1/2 red)

1 bell pepper, chopped;

2 carrots, chopped;

1 lb cooked ham, cubed;

2 cloves garlic, minced; (I used 3)

2 bay leaves; (I skipped this as I was out)

8 to 10 cups homemade stock; ( I make my own /freeze it, very handy when you need it)

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

In a large saucepan over a medium-high heat melt the cooking fat. Sautee the onions and garlic in the cooking fat for 5 to 7 minutes, just until the onions are translucent and tender.

Add the cabbage, bell pepper, carrots and ham and toss with the onions and garlic. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, frequently stirring to prevent anything from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pot.

 
Pour in the stock with the bay leaves. Allow the soup to come to a simmer and cook partially covered for 35 to 45 minutes. Season to taste with freshly cracked black pepper, but taste the liquid before adding any salt, as the ham will most likely give off enough saltiness on its own.
Remove the bay leaves and serve.  ENJOY!

Just a hint...since you only need 1/2 the head of cabbage save it for tomorrow's dinner!  I serve my Boston Butt shredded on top of Shredded Cabbage!  Just put the Boston Butt in the crock pot while at work all day and it's done when you get home!  Easy &  Delish!
