Garden Veggie & Bacon Egg Bake (Paleo)

Well I’m into my pregnancy about 6 weeks and have become as nauseous as ever!  The weird thing is that I still get hungry and crave certain things.  I have to eat that specific thing right away or I get sick.  I definitely feel like a real pregnant girl now!

I don’t know why but one day I was craving all of these foods combined.  I decided to create this recipe based on my real need to eat and satisfy my weird craving.  Ends up that it’s actually pretty tasty for those who aren’t pregnant too! LOL…  I love it when my family actually likes the healthy meals create as I go.

I get my bacon at Sprouts or Whole Foods.  It’s Paleo Approved Bacon because it has no sugar added.  It tastes amazing so I don’t really know why there is sugar in all the others, but just pay attention next time you are at the market looking for bacon.

These tomatoes are divine.  I purchased these and the squash at my local Farmers Market, and I can’t get enough!  What is it about garden fresh fruits and veggies that you get from a farmers market versus the grocery store?!  Sooo much tastier!  I’m trying to grow some of my own herbs and veggies, we will see how I do in this crazy AZ sun!

So… one more thing.. I topped this dish with Avocado and Fresh Cilantro.  It added some more nutrition but I just love avocado.  Ok, now go make this dish and Enjoy!

 

Ingredients:

2-3 Cloves of Galic, minced or roughly chopped

1/2 Jalepeno, chopped small

2 Sprigs of fresh Thyme

Fresh Cilantro to taste

Sea salt & Pepper to taste

1 T Avocado Oil

3 Lg Eggs

1/2 Red Pepper, sliced

1/2 Green Pepper, sliced

1 Cup Fresh Spinach

1 Small Zucchini, sliced

1 small Yellow squash, sliced

6-8 Pieces of cooked Bacon

2-3 small tomatoes (try yellow and red)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a frying pan add oil and heat on medium high.   Once heated, add garlic and jalepeno and quick stir for a minute.
3. Add in Peppers, sea salt, black pepper and thyme.
4. Place Spinach on top, don’t stir.
5. Layer on sliced squash, bacon and tomatoes.
6. Lastly, crack eggs right on top in 3 different places and place directly in the preheated oven.
7. Bake for about 5 minutes.
8. Remove and top with fresh Cilantro
9. Serve Immedietely.

ENJOY!!

Paleo & Pregnant

 

I am beyond excited to announce my long awaited pregnancy!  My husband and I have two boys ages 12 and 14.  My first pregnancy went very well and I Worked up until the day I had him.   My second pregnancy was an awful trial which ended in a sac with no baby.  I had to have a DNC/DNE and at that time was relieved that I wasn’t pregnant anymore.  I had been extremely sick for 3 months and then one day it all just stopped.  I went in to be checked and found out the devistating news.  It was such a horrible experience, as is every miscarriage.  Soon after the failed pregnancy, I felt very sick and went to the dr to find out why.  I wasn’t told that you are very fertile after a DNC and didn’t even think about the fact that I could be pregnant!  After talking with my dr they decided to give me a pregnancy test.  I laughed and told them it wasn’t possible because of what I had just gone through.  Well to my surprise, I was indeed pregnant and in for a very long and hard, high risk pregnancy.  My hormones weren’t right and caused major health problems for me.  Luckily, baby was always healthy.  We had our second child in Jan of 2004.

My health wasn’t horrible after I recovered, until I got viral meningitis 2 weeks after the birth.  I was in the hospital for a week, and then it took about 6 months to recover.  It wasn’t until I healed that I became very interested in health and nutrition.  I worked out and took a few classes in healthy eating.  I became very fit and finally understood what nutritious eating really meant.  Still, I had multiple health problems and hormone issues.  I went on hormone replacement therapy and felt great for about a year.  I was body building and eating pretty healthy, only to get adrenal fatigue, depression, anxiety and skin problems.  My health depleted rapidly and by ob’s recommendation I finally went off gluten.  Not long after, I went off dairy, and had already been off refined sugar for a year or so.    It seemed to help a little, but not enough.  I continued to struggle, and was a mystery for the many doctors I saw.  I was told I was bi polar, ADD, depressed and manic.  I never believed any of it.  I became depressed because I didn’t understand why I felt so horrible.  I met a few helpful people along the way who helped me and gave me some helpful tools to understand what I wa going through.  I was holding on to some major pain from my childhood as well as having many food allergies.  I was mentally, physically and  nutritionally depleted in every way.  After close to a year of searching for answers, I was blessed to meet a holistic counselor who worked with me to heal my painful past.  Through my time with her, I healed mentally and that helped me heal physically.  I still had some lingering health issues, and searched for answers.   I was blessed to meet a nutritionist who helped me understand what the paleo lifestyle is.  I latched on to that idea and never looked back.

I healed my hyperthyroidism and hypoglycemia naturally.   All of my Hashimotos symptoms were disappearing.  I noticed a difference within a couple months.  My stomach felt better, my skin got clearer, my energy was higher and I felt a zest for life.    I finally healed after being sick my whole life.  We had wanted to add to our family for about 10 years, and we tried, being disappointed time and time again.

I have been living this Paleo lifestyle for about 1 1/2 years now, and to our surprise we Finally got pregnant!  We still can’t believe it’s true, but this is apparently very common for women who have been on the Paleo diet for the same amount of time.  I now know that I needed to heal my body completely before I could conceive.

Our family is living a healthy lifestyle.  We are taking care of our bodies, minds and spirits.  I am so grateful for all of the trials that I have been through.  I have learned so much and gained tons of knowledge about our bodies and how they work.  Our food can be reponsible for so many of our health problems or successes.

I reccommend trying the Paleo lifestyle for all you women with similar stories to mine.  Paleo food is a healthy, natural alternative to medication, and hormone replacement therapy.  I am proof that it works and is worth the difficulties that may go along with it.  I will share my pregnancy journey with you and hopefully my Paleo pregnancy can help and inspire you!

Cinnamon Swirl Bread (Vegan/Paleo)

I am so glad that one of my Instagram fans reminded me about this recipe!  I was going to post it awhile ago and completely forgot.  I get caught up in other recipes, posts and well… just life!  This is a goodie though, and I’m excited to share it with you AND just in time for Valentines Day too!

This recipe may look like it would be complicated, but just roll with it because it’s actually pretty simple.  The main thing here is making sure you have all the ingredients.  I’m known for mixing many ingredients, which could seem like too much work and money.  The key to my Paleo baking is mixing interesting ingredients together.  I always recommend adding one or two new flours, at a time, to your paleo pantry.  I didn’t start off having every flour under the sun either.  It’s a slow process, and you need to keep balance so you don’t get overwhelmed.  This recipe is great to start with because you only need a few common Paleo approved flours.  You can find most of them at Whole Foods or Sprouts, but you will need to order the Cassava Flour from Otto’s online. ottosnaturals.com

I use Konjac Powder in place of Xanthan Gum.  Xanthan Gum is corn derived and GMO… Not Paleo approved and not healthy for our Paleo diet.  Konjac Powder helps to keep baked goods together and it has natural fiber.  I use it in my Paleo Flour blends as well.  You can find it at your local health/vitamin stores.  The specific name to look for is Gluccomine konjac powder (it’s a dietary supplement powder).

So now that you have a little background on my version of Paleo baking, I hope you will start adding to your Paleo pantry and start making more Flour Blends.  I’ve done all the work and research for you so you can hopefully find Paleo baking fun and easy!

Paleo Granola

I taught my first cooking class a couple weeks ago.  I was nervous and excited, and not sure I was justly certified to teach.  Yet, I did and it went really well!  I was teaching a large group of 16-18 year old young ladies and their adult teachers.  I decided to show them how to make Acai Bowls and my Vanilla Almond Cardamom Scones (recipe is on the blog).

We talked a lot about health and nutrition while making food.  It was fun to help this group understand that food can be healthy and taste amazing.  My passion for food is what drives me to develop healthy recipes.  I live the Paleo Lifestyle and I want to share that it can still be delicious, even when most of your common ingredients need to be substituted!

I whipped up some granola to throw on top of the Acai Bowls that night.  I made it up as I went along, but made sure to write down every ingredient.  I use to make up recipes and not write them down during the process.  I quickly learned that I needed to be organized and document what I create.  I was then able to better my blog and remake the recipes I developed.

The group loved the granola, and asked for the recipe… So I am finally getting to it!  I love adding this granola to my Paleo Yogurt bowls too.  Check out my post on Paleo yogurt Bowl recipe.  So here is my Paleo version of “granola”, and it can be Vegan as well, just exclude the egg white!

 

PALEO Granola Recipe

Ingredients:

1/2 C Raw Almonds, coarsely chopped

2/3 C Raw Cashews, coarsely chopped

1/2 C Raw Sunflower Seeds, coarsely chopped

1 C Raw Pepitas, coarsely chopped

3/4 C Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

1/2 C Raw Honey ( Add less if you desire less sweetness)

1/4 C Grade B Maple Syrup

1 C Dried fruit of choice {raisins, zante currants, apple sweetened cranberries} *Optional* You can leave fruit out for plain granola

1 T Ground Cinnamon

1 tsp. Sea Salt (Pink Himalayan Salt is my favorite)

1 egg white, lightly beaten *optional* don’t use if you want this to be Vegan

3 T Coconut oil, melted

1 tsp. Vanilla

 

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. To coarsely chop your nuts and seeds, add one type at a time, to food processor and pulse on high until you reach desired texture.  Be sure not to process to long and turn nuts or seeds into butters.
4. If using egg white in this recipe, lightly beat in a separate bowl and set aside.
5. Add all ingredients in a mixer bowl, adding egg white last, and mix very well.
6. Scoop the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet and smooth out evenly with a rubber spatula.
7. Place in oven and bake 40-45 min. or until golden brown.  Stir once after 10 min, then again after 20 minutes and one more time before it’s done.
8. Take out of oven and cool on a wire rack.  *Mixture will not be crisp until it cools completely!
9. Store in a glass jar on counter.

 ENJOY!!

Paleo Yogurt Bowl

I love breakfast!  Breakfast and the Paleo lifestyle go hand in hand.  I am always whipping up some new creation, and this little yogurt bowl is one of them.  It’s quick and full of nutrition… And Probiotics!

Probiotics can strengthen your immune system, improve bowel regularity and gut strength, improve skins function and SO MUCH MORE…  I have noticed great changes in my health since adding Probiotics to my regimen.  *Note* I don’t think it’s healthy to rely on capsule probiotics forever though.  I would recommend adding them for a couple months and then take a break, but probiotics found in food is Great! (This is my opinion, as I am not a certified nutritionist)

I purchase my Goat Kefir at Sprouts Farmer Market or Whole Foods Market.  I use the Plain, unflavored and unsweetened.  I sweeten it up with my own refined sugar-free jam and fresh fruit.  I actually don’t mind the Kefir all by itself as well.  You can add whatever nuts and fruits you love, and you may even want to try making some Paleo Granola for it too!  I will post a recipe for that soon.

(PALEO) Yogurt Bowl:

1-2 C “RedWood Hill Farm” (Plain) Goat Kefir

1 T Refined Sugar-Free Jam

1 T sliced Almonds

Optional Topping Ideas:

*Paleo Granola

*Hemp Hearts

*Fresh fruit

*Almond Butter

Paleo Chili

I’ve made this chili quite a few times, and it has now become one of my families favorites.  It’s hearty and comforting, and it can be adapted to your personal taste as well.  I have changed the veggies up a bit too, depending on what’s in my fridge at the time.

One of the great things about “Chili” is that you can easily double the batch when you have more hungry bellies to feed.  This recipe is kid and adult approved, tested by my picky family and friends.  I serve it up with my fresh Paleo Grain Free French Bread and a big Green Salad…YUM!

————————————————————————

Paleo Wraps

I recently posted on my Instagram page about these new Paleo Wraps.  They are such a great find!  I whipped up a quick Paleo wrap for lunch the other day.  I used these new pre-made “Coconut Paleo Wraps” that I ordered  from Julian Bakery.  You can find them on Amazon too.  They are perfect for a quick meal, and the coconut flavor is lessened if you stuff the wrap full of your favorite meat and veggies.  You can play up the coconut by filling it with fruit and nut butter too!

I made breakfast burritos with the wraps, and they were SO good.  I am so excited to have these wrap sheets on hand for those times when I… Have No Time!  Raising two boys leaves me with short time and pre-made paleo food can be very handy.  Keep them stored on the counter in a Lg Ziploc baggie, if they are open.  Don’t store them in the fridge!  They also have a long shelf life, which I never need because I eat them too fast.  The sheets are very thin, but wrap fairly easy without cracking.  Wraps are a great way to change up your salad and make you feel like you are eating something different.  Those living a Paleo Lifestyle know what I’m sayin!  Try this recipe or get creative and make your own… Hope my fun find will help make your life just a little easier! ENJOY!!

Breakfast Burrito-

Ingredients:

• Scrambled eggs with cilantro
• Bacon (Paleo approved found at Sprouts)
• Avocado
• Romaine lettuce
• Collard Greens, sliced
• Sliced Zucchini
• Salsa

Directions:

Pile all of your ingredients onto a Paleo Wrap Coconut Sheet.

Roll and wrap in wax paper, or use the paper that the sheets are wrapped with*

Enjoy with your favorite Green Juice for ultimate nutrition!

 Try using the wraps to make crepes too!  I filled mine with JEM Raw Cinnamon Red Maca and sliced bananas.  YUM!!  You can fill them with whatever you love and just fold in half or thirds.  *Check it out *

Vanilla Almond Cardamom Scones(Paleo) &/or (Vegan)

My Personal Favorite Treat, from my own creations, are these scones.  I was inspired from a local bakery in Northern California when I was visiting a couple years ago.  Those were NOT Paleo, and I could do nothing but dream that they were for months after my visit.  Therefore, I created my own version that made me and many others very happy!

The vegan vanilla frosting a top these scones is not paleo, but a little treat for those who do not need a paleo approved frosting.  They are great without the frosting, or you could top them with Paleo Almond Cream frosting… that would be delish! (Recipe below)

The original recipe was (Vegan) (Gluten Free) (Refined Sugar Free) (Dairy Free).  I have adapted most of my original recipes to be Paleo now as well.  I will share the Paleo version with an option for Vegan as well!  *I usually double batch this recipe, wrap the scones in bakers paper and a Lg Ziploc bag, and freeze the scones to have them on hand*

Prep Time: 15 min.       Bake Time: 10-12 min.     Yields 8 Scones

Ingredients:

1 tsp. ground Cardamom

2 tsp. Vanilla extract

1 tsp. Almond Extract

1/2 C Coconut Palm Sugar

2 C “Pure Goodies” Paleo All-Purpose Flour blend

1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder

1 T Apple Cider Vinegar

1/4 C Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

1/4 C Coconut Oil (Can also use Spectrum All-Vegetable Palm shortening, melted)

VEGAN/PALEO Almond Cream Frosting: 

2 T Cold Coconut Cream

1 tsp. Honey

1/8 tsp. Almond extract

1/4 tsp. Vanilla Extract

 

Directions: 

Place all the ingredients in a bowl and use a hand mixer to whip.  Whip for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.

Store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for about 1 week.

 

Vegan Vanilla Glaze:

2 C Confectioners Sugar

1/4 C Coconut oil

2 T Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

1 tsp. Vanilla extract

1 pinch of sea salt

Directions:

* Place all ingredients into a food processor and combine until smooth.

* Once Scones are completely cooled, glaze each scone with about 1 tsp. of icing.

* Let glazed scones sit out for at least 30 min.

NOTE* Icing can be stored in an airtight container for about 2 weeks.

 

Scone Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• First mix egg substitute if opting for Vegan recipe, set aside.
• In a mixer bowl, combine egg or egg substitute, oil, vanilla, almond extract, almond milk and coconut palm sugar.  Mix well.
• Mix in apple cider vinegar and let sit while you combine and sift dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
• In a separate bowl, sift together flout, cardamom and baking powder. NOTE** The larger crumbs from the flour will be left over in your sifter… dump those in at the end of sifting.
• Add sifted dry ingredients to your mixer bowl with the wet ingredients.  Mix just until combined, DO NOT OVERMIX!
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Place dough on parchment and form into a disk about 1/2 inch thick.  Plump up the edges just a bit.
• Slice dough disk into 8 even wedges with a pizza cutter.  Separate each slice with a lightly oiled spatula for room to bake. * You may need to reform the scones if they break during this process.
• Place into preheated oven and bake for 10-12 min.
• Remove and cool on wire rack
• Cool completely before glazing

ENJOY!!

MaCafe Maca Drink

Good Mornings happen when I have a big mug of my new favorite MaCafe Maca drink.  This is a coffee substitute with no caffeine, yet it gives you healthy energy that will last for hours!  I don’t drink coffee, but I love the smell and the frothy look of it.  Isn’t it such a calming feeling to have a big, warm mug of frothy delishiousness in your hands?  It’s even better when it makes you feel balanced and energized too!

I am all about health, and I don’t believe that high caffeine is all that great for our bodies.  I learned of this MaCafe drink from my Aunt Lena.  She owns Rosemary’s Garden in Sebastopol, California.  It’s an herb, tea blend, essential oil and more healthy stuff store.  I love it there.  I ordered my MaCafe the moment I saw her post about it on Facebook!

At first, I tried heating Unsweetened Almond Milk and adding the MaCafe powder to it.  It didn’t mix very easy, so I decided to throw it in my blender and that worked like a charm.  It frothed right up and reminded me of those fancy coffee drink pictures that you see all over Instagram.  I’m such a sucker for that kind of stuff!  I drink this every morning and wish I could drink it all day long… but as with everything, too much of a good thing is…Bad..

MaCafe pairs wonderfully with my (Paleo) Vanilla Almond Cardamom Scones too by the way.  I will post that recipe next!

 

MACAFE MACA DRINK available @ rosemarysgarden.com/products/maroro2oz

 

Ingredients:

1 C Unsweetened Almond Milk

1-2 tsp. MaCafe Maca

Dash of Grade B Maple Syrup

 

Directions:

In Blender (I use a Blentec) place 1 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk and 1-2 tsp. of MaCafe Maca powder.  Add a dash of Grade B Maple Syrup and start by blending on low.  Once incorporated, blend on Medium until frothy.  Pour blend into your favorite coffee mug and heat about 1 minute and 20 seconds. *You can also slowly heat the drink in a pan on the stove.  This would be healthier I’m sure!  Pour into your cup and ENJOY!!
