*Recipe from Paleo Readers’ Favorites Cookbook Favorite Paleo, Primal & Grain-Free Recipes

Estimated Prep time – 15 minutes

Estimated Cooking time – 45 minutes

Servings – 4

24 Whole Chicken wings, washed and patted dry. (I soak my wings in a sea salt brine for a few hours)

2 Tbsp coconut oil

Seasoning:

1 Tbsp paprika
2 tsp granulated onion
1 / 2 tsp granulated garlic
1 / 4 tsp smoked paprika (I didn’t have this) I used a tsp of garlic pepper instead which we always have and use often!
1 tsp sea salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Wing Sauce:

1 (15oz) can organic tomato sauce
1 (6 oz) can organic tomato paste
3 Tbsp raw honey or maple syrup
3 Tbsp organic apple cider vinegar or coconut vinegar
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp paprika
1 / 2 smoked paprika (I used garlic pepper)
2 tsp granulated garlic
1 Tsp coconut aminos, gluten-free tamari soy sauce, or Bragg’s liquid aminos.  (I use Coconut Secret Raw Coconut Vinegar from Whole Foods)

Directions:

Mix wing seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Coat wings with coconut oil. Sprinkle the seasoning over wings and rub in evenly with your hands. Don’t forget to wash your hands!

Cover a large baking sheet with foil and grease the foil (I use my large Pampered Chef Stone Bar Pan for this duty! No foil or extra oil necessary, they clean us quick and easily with a scraper!)  Place seasoned wings evenly on pan, trying to not let them touch so they bake evenly and get crispy.

Cook wings in a 375 degree oven for about 45 minutes, or until wings are browned, crispy, and cooked through.  I hit them under the broiler too for about 3 minutes to get some extra crisp! 

Meanwhile, combine all sauce ingredients in a large saucepan and heat through on low-medium heat.

Placed cooked wings in a large bowl, add sauce at your discretion, and toss lightly to coat wings. 

Serve and devour! And remember the napkins!

Refrigerate extra sauce to use with chicken fingers, steak bites, or mini meatloaf.  You can even use it as a dipping sauce for Italian meatballs!


Enjoy the Journey in happiness and great health!

Paleo Breakfast Cookies

Made these for our Sunday AM 'God Is Closer Than You Think' group to try out at PRF.. they're real yummy too so best not to miss class!  LOL!

Here's a breakfast that's Kid Friendly and they are Gluten/Wheat/Grain Free! Yummy healthy treats great on the go packed with real food nutrition! I just pulled some out of the oven and oh my they are so deliciously yummy and moist too! I added my own touch with the Tiger Nut flour..

1 cup raw almond butter or organic sunflower seed butter. (I didn’t have enough to make a whole cup so used about 1 /4 cup of some Chocolate Hazelnut butter I had on hand.) Now if your child is allergic to nuts you may have to substitute Coconut Butter in place of the nut butter and do not add in nuts, just add more fruit! 

1 pasture egg

1 / 4 cup raw honey or maple syrup (I used pure organic Maple Syrup)




3 Cups total mix-ins of choice (what you may have on hand such as - unsweetened shredded coconut, raw cacao nibs, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, raisins, dried cranberries, or hulled hemp hearts).

I just used a tablespoon measurement to get it to 3 cups and used more of some things I love like coconut.  I had all this stuff on hand already too to make nutritional bars)... 

4 to 5 Tbs Pumpkin Seeds
4 to 5 Tbs Sunflower Seeds
10 Tbs Coconut
5 Tbs dried Blueberries
5 Tbs dried cranberries
4 Tbs chopped Walnuts



4 TBS of the Tiger Nut flour which I ground up in my Nutra Bullet (this is optional only if you have some.   Details are here if you’d like to check out and try some Tiger Nuts which are nut free, gluten/wheat/grain free, no sugar added, high in nutritional value  - http://bit.ly/YqnBgA





1 / 2 tsp vanilla
1 / 2 tsp cinnamon
1 / 2 Baking soda
1 / 4 sea salt

Preheat oven to 350

Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer until thoroughly blended.





Drop by tablespoon onto a greased or Silpat-lined baking sheet. (I use my Pampered Chef small muffin pan so they came out like a little muffin). Press down lightly with hand.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. (my electric oven was 15 min)

Allow to cool on wire rack. Enjoy!

This dish is so unbelievably good and it's Paleo!!! I'm on a role and Clif is in Hog heaven after eating out for six days! He's so glad to be back in my kitchen and so is my stomach!!! He said this is better than any restaurant we went to on our vacay this last week in Baltimore! So healthy too because it's absolutely grain free! And the shrimp really makes it even better!!! Double YUM! We had some salmon cakes (fresh grilled salmon, not in a can!!) on the side! Recipe to follow!! Triple YUM! 

4 Small Zucchini

2 Tbsp coconut oil or Walnut Oil

1 Avocado

Juice of half lemon

Salt and Pepper

Handful fresh basil

2 Tsp olive oil

3 Tbsp coconut milk

Black Olives for topping

Cut Zucchini into noodles with a Julinne slicer

Chop olives and set aside

In food processor or blender, add avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, and coconut milk and blend until creamy.

Add basil and more olive oil if needed

Heat pan with coconut oil and toss in Zucchini. Cook for a few minutes over medium heat.

When the noodles are done, throw sauce into pan while it’s still a little hot and mix.

Yummy & Easy Paleo Brownies

Hey Gang I'm going Paleo (grain free) so stay tuned for some good foodies coming your way for Pot Luck!  Picked up a new Paleo cook book at Whole Foods and oh my some good healthy stuff!  Lot's of fresh clean meat, chicken, fish, veggies, and YES.... desserts with no refined sugar!!! 

Time to get your chocolate on! These are absolutely the best brownies we’ve ever had and so healthy tasting yet so moist and YUMMY!! No one would no they are healthy with no added sugar!! Really! My husband couldn’t believe they are actually healthy!




1 cup Almond Flour

1 / 4 tsp Sea Salt

1 /4 tsp baking soda

4 oz baking chocolate

7 Medijool dates (1/2 cu – 2/3 cup)

3 Large pasture eggs

1 / 2 cup coconut oil (I didn’t have enough so used about 1 /4 cup Walnut Oil to make 1 / 2 cup)

1 / 2 tsp vanilla stevia (I didn't have Vanilla Stevia so used ½ teaspoon of real vanilla and put some fresh ground stevia in from my garden) or use powdered stevia instead in your vanilla). I'm always improvising!  

In a food processor, pulse together almond flour, baking soda, and salt.

Pulse in squares of dark chocolate until texture is like coarse sand. (I cut the chocolate in half)

Pulse in dates until the texture of coarse sand. (I chopped my dates)

Pulse in eggs

Pulse in coconut oil and stevia until mixture is smooth.

I put in about ¼ cup of chopped walnuts and pulsed.

Transfer mixture to a greased 8” x 8” baking pan.

Mixture will be thick , so smooth with a spatula.

Bake at 350 for 18 to 22 minutes (I baked in electric oven for 22 minutes and they were perfect). Cool for 2 hours. (I cooled and then put in frig for about an hour).

Enjoy with some Coconut Vanilla Ice Cream!

ARUGULA WITH GRILLED PEACHES AND A SHERRY VINAIGRETTE

Prep time: 15 min • Cook time: 5 min • Yield: 4 servings

Equipment

BBQ grill or a grill pan

Ingredients

6 to 8 cups loosely packed arugula
¼ cup fresh basil, cut into thin ribbons*
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto (if you are not eating meat leave this out and add some slivered almonds)
4 small to medium peaches, cut in sixths
4 scallions (optional)
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted, or coconut oil spray

Salad Dressing/Sherry Vinaigrette

⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon salt

To finish

Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Prepare charcoal until the coals are white and ashy or preheat propane/gas grill to medium. (Wait to heat grille pan until just before cooking if you are not grilling outside.)

Combine all salad dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to blend, or put all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously. Taste to adjust spice. Set aside.

Brush or spray peaches with coconut oil. Peaches will cook very quickly in 1 to 2 minutes per side depending on their size; the goal is to give them grill marks and let their natural sugars caramelize.

To serve, plate the arugula, top with prosciutto, peaches and scallion. Sprinkle basil over the top and dress. You can also toss the arugula and basil in dressing, plate and top with remaining ingredients. Finish with freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

Miracles do happen! Thanks to all the great helpers yesterday with moving the fitness equipment from Lakeway to Pedernales River Fellowship! God has really been moving this ministry project along and He has been supplying all our needs! He's given me every direction too including how to set everything up. I'm even having dreams about it!

I took photos of the equipment in Lakeway last week and then yesterday printed each one out and laid them out on my table in the correct order! Then numbered each sheet in order. Took the photos up to the building today and Clif and Floyd moved everything into place! Of course I was good at giving directions! LOL!



We still have more to do!  And I'm getting the Personal Trainer Certification.   Keep praying!
