<span style="font-size: x-large;">For some reason, pineapple upside down cake has been on my brain lately. So, I knew it was time for me to come up with a Paleo-friendly alternative. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">That's just how this recipe came about. It was borne out of a pineapple upside down cake craving. I decided I'd try to make one with apples, cinnamon, and toasted pecans, instead of the traditional pineapple with maraschino cherries. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The trickiest thing about this is arranging the apples on the bottom of the pan. Here's a little picture so you can see what it should look like: </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Doesn't that look yummy?!?! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And here's what it should look like after you bake it and flip it over onto a plate: </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As usual, this recipe doesn't require a whole bunch of specialty ingredients. It can be prepared mostly with whatever you have in your kitchen, plus some apples. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I enjoy a smoothie almost every morning. And this recipe is a variation on the first smoothie I ever came to love: a Strawberry Mango Smoothie. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;">So, I first started drinking smoothies back in 2005 when I saw a holistic practitioner who put me on a three-week cleansing diet. That diet was very similar to Paleo. And as part of the cleanse, I had to make these smoothies with a supplement powder, called Clear Vite. I still use Clear Vite to this day, if you can believe it. I started experimenting with different smoothie flavors, but I came to really adore the strawberry-mango combination of flavors. Back then I also used to add a little bit of pineapple juice. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So, this recipe is a take on that initial strawberry-mango smoothie I came to love. This recipe includes leafy greens, which gives it that green color. It also includes almond milk, which is surprisingly high in calcium, and coconut milk, which helps give it a creamy texture. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This smoothie is really great if you are new to adding greens to your smoothie or just new to smoothies in general. I hope it gives you all the same burst of energy in the morning as it does me! <3 --J </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am a big fan of the Epic Bar line of products. I've done several blog post reviews when they launch new products. And when I stumbled upon the new Venison Epic Bar, I knew I had to try it right away. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;">Let me tell you a little bit about this new Epic Bar. The Venison is sourced from grass fed deer. One bar is 80 calories, with a whopping 12 grams of protein, 0 grams of sugar, and an amazing 25% daily value of calcium and 10% iron. This is such a great bar if you are trying to make your macros without eating those crappy, synthetic bars you find on the market. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I tried this bar after I got back from vacation in San Diego. I had a super indulgent long weekend--too much drinking with the girls and Paleo deviations. Yea. I had a cupcake. A real one. But because I hadn't been fueling my body as I normally do with lots of nutrient dense food, I felt kind of tired and cranky to be back at work. After I had this bar for a snack, I immediately felt a burst of energy! Yep. That's what quality-sourced food will do for you, right? And I'm not even being paid to write this, folks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Now for the flavor. I really enjoyed it. It's just right. Meaty. Seasoned well, but not too much. Flavor-packed, not too gamey, not too dry. It might just be replacing the Chicken Sriracha flavor as my favorite Epic Bar. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So if you weren't sure--I definitely recommend this Epic Bar flavor. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What do you do when you have a wicked craving for chocolate, you've raided your cabinets, and there's just nothing to satisfy it? You make a mug cake, of course! </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;">The other night I had a chocolate craving that would just not go away. I considered heading out to the grocery store to pick something up, until I realized that I could whip something up myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">But I did not want to wait. I wanted immediate gratification. That's where this magical mug cake comes into play. Guys--this mug cake is actually really satisfying. It takes care of the chocolate craving without making you feel gross afterwards or putting you into a sugar coma. It's chocolate-y and cake-y and has melt-y chocolate chips in it. Yum! This recipe can go from mixing bowl to belly in less than 6 minutes. No joke. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I'm having lots of fun experimenting with Otto's cassava flour. I'm going to spend some more time working with it before I post a review. But this recipe is just one example of my Paleo-friendly baking adventure with cassava flour! Hope you all enjoy this super simple but rich and indulgent Paleo Chocolate Chocolate Chip Mug Cake. --J</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Summertime reminds me of fresh, juicy and red ripe tomatoes from back home in Pennsylvania. And there's no better way to enjoy the seasonal bounty than a BLT sandwich. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Back in Pennsylvania, I used to eat fresh tomatoes all the time. Tomatoes were everywhere. My grandma tended to her own tomato garden and had plenty to spare. But you could also buy them from Amish farmers at roadside stands. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There's nothing like a fresh, summer tomato grown right in your own town. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I'd just slice them and salt them. Or, I'd make fried tomato sandwiches. Of course, I'd make BLT sandwiches too. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Since summertime reminds me of tomatoes and sandwiches, I set to work to create a Paleo-friendly BLT sandwich using Otto's Cassava Flour. I'm still getting used to working with this new Paleo-friendly flour, but it certainly is nice to have a new alternative. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Guys, this pita sandwich is so simple and so good! Bacon. Yum. Pita. Yum. Fresh tomatoes. Yum! I hope you all enjoy. <3 --J </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Coffee cake has been on my mind lately for some reason. I think probably because it reminds me of being young and of my mom. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I can remember my mom making coffee cake when she wanted a sweet treat but didn't really have a lot of ingredients in the house. It always felt so magical to me that something so tasty could be made with regular pantry ingredients we had on hand everyday. Coffee cake reminds me very much of my childhood. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So, I set out to re-create the no-frills coffee cake my mom used to make me. And that's what we have here in this recipe. Not too many ingredients. I did include cassava flour, which could be substituted for almond flour, if you don't want to deal with the hassle of using two flours. But the crumb texture might not be quite the same as a warning. This coffee cake could easily be made after work one night for the next morning. I can attest to the fact that that it pairs delightfully with a cup of coffee in the morning. So much yum. Hope you all enjoy! ---J</span><br />

<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">To make the crumble, add the cassava flour, coconut sugar, and cinnamon to a bowl and mix together with a fork. Add the cold butter and cream in in the butter until crumbles begin to form. The mixture should have crumbles form, but also have a sandy texture too. Keep in the refrigerator for later.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">So, this is the next in my series of recipes for putting together that yummy turkey cranberry sandwich I made a couple weeks ago. And of course, the fresh turkey is the star. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">This recipe is super easy to make. Just throw everything in, and let the slow cooker work its magic. It would be perfect to throw in the crock pot before you head out to work for the day, so that you have something delicious for dinner when you return. I like to eat this over salads for lunch, or on gluten free sandwich bread with my <a href="http://faganeatspaleo.blogspot.com/2016/06/fagan-eats-paleo-recipe-paleo-cranberry.html" target="_blank">Cranberry Sauce</a>, or even just as a side with some Creamy <a href="http://faganeatspaleo.blogspot.com/2014/06/paleo-cauliflower-puree.html" target="_blank">Cauliflower Puree</a> and sauteed greens. You can mix the leftover onions and carrots with the turkey after you shred it, or you can puree it with an immersion blender and make a simple, flavorful and flourless gravy. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Guess what?! Cranberry sauce isn't just for Thanksgiving anymore...</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;">So, there's this sandwich shop in our little town that makes this turkey cranberry sandwich that is so delicious. I have not had it in years. The other day my boyfriend told me he was really craving it. And I thought--that's definitely something I can make sorta Paleo-ish. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I made some roasted turkey tenderloin in the crock pot. So yum. Watch out for that recipe soon to follow on the blog. I bought the sandwich rolls from this wonderful gluten free bakery in the San Francisco Ferry Building, <a href="http://www.mariposabaking.com/" target="_blank">Mariposa</a>. And of course, I made my <a href="http://faganeatspaleo.blogspot.com/2014/09/fagan-eats-paleo-recipe-kitty-cup-aioli.html" target="_blank">Paleo Mayo</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I was just going to buy some cranberry sauce, but then I looked at the options. Guys--that canned cranberry sauce you buy at the grocery store has got a bunch of crap in it, including high fructose corn syrup. Watch out. I'm so far down the Paleo rabbit hole that I sometimes forget that companies still put that junk in things. Check, check, check ingredients. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Having no other options, I set out to make my own cranberry sauce. It is SO easy, folks. And the best part of it all is that you can adjust the sweet-tart level to your own liking. You just put some cranberries in a sauce pan with some Paleo-friendly sweetener and a little water and you let it cook down. Simple as that. Cranberry is not just for Thanksgiving any more guys. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hope you all enjoy! --J</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Vital Proteins was a generous sponsor of the giveaway that I was running with some other Paleo bloggers this month. And they sent me some of their products to try out and review for you all. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have so much respect for companies that are so confident and proud of their product that they are generous-generous with samples and donations and the like. It means that they KNOW you will want to buy more. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Vital Proteins sent me two things to try: Collagen Peptides and Beauty Greens. Their Collagen Peptides are sourced from pastured, grass-fed cows and dissolve in hot or cold water. Yay! According to the Vital Proteins website, "Collagen peptides contain the same amino acids as gelatin which are identical to the protein found in skin, nails, hair, bones, cartilage, and joints." It's gluten free and non-GMO. Their Beauty Greens product is a "nourishing elixir" that "combines marine collagen with raw organic greens, hyaluronic acid, and probiotics." It's flavored with organic coconut water and Madagascar vanilla beans. Wow. You get the point: these products contain quality ingredients. Isn't that what Paleo is all about, anyway?!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I heart the Collagen Peptides. I incorporate them as a Paleo-friendly protein powder source for my pre-workout <a href="http://faganeatspaleo.blogspot.com/2015/07/fagan-eats-paleo-recipe-paleo-protein.html" target="_blank">Protein Smoothie</a>. There are 18 grams of protein per serving! You could use either the Collagen Peptides or the Beauty Greens in a, smoothie recipe, but this is a great and clean Paleo source of protein (though collagen is not a complete protein because it does not contain all the essential amino acids), especially for those of us who do not tolerate whey very well. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Collagen is wonderful for healthy skin, joints, and bones. I also personally find that it helps with those pesky sugar cravings. It also can be a fat loss aid. I like to put some in my hot black tea as a snack: <a href="http://faganeatspaleo.blogspot.com/2015/09/fagan-eats-paleo-quick-tip-collagen-tea.html" target="_blank">Collagen Tea</a>. The Vital Proteins website is a great resource for information about the health benefits and research on collagen: <a href="http://www.vitalproteins.com/collagen-benefits" target="_blank">Collagen Research</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Beauty Greens product is made with marine collagen but has the added benefit of probiotics and, of course, organic greens! My boyfriend loves this product and has started incorporating it into his morning smoothie, while I prefer the Collagen Peptides because they are flavorless. While I find the Beauty Greens to be an amazingly quality product, I did not enjoy the taste. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Vital Proteins products are of the highest quality, and since I started using them, I've noticed a difference in my skin, hair (it grows like a weed, and nails. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I absolutely recommend that you check out the <a href="http://www.vitalproteins.com/" target="_blank">Vital Proteins website</a> and look at what they have to offer: gelatin, whey protein (in various flavors), marine collagen, Type II cartilage collagen capsules, developed with Dr. Kaayla Daniel, and beef liver capsules. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hope you find this helpful! <3 --J</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">Hi everyone, my name is Kristina and I run the blog <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://kavebabe.com&source=gmail&ust=1465325665817000&usg=AFQjCNEfJ8lJ2beEwShMBlMEav48tQU_rg" dir="ltr" href="http://kavebabe.com/" target="_blank">kavebabe.com</a>. and @kavebabe on Instagram. I have just started in this blogging world about a year ago and I am so excited to partake in this huge giveaway with all these amazing bloggers. I started eating Paleo on and off a few years ago and became hooked when I realized every time I stuck with it, all my digestive issues went away. This led to an obsession with nutrition and health and trying to be the healthiest I can be. I started getting asked by friends and family for diet advice so I decided to make my passion into a profession. I am currently studying nutrition, hoping to get my degree in the next couple of years. I also love blogging about the latest beauty products, Paleo recipes, lifestyle tips, and of course my adorable puppy! I hope to continue blogging about my lifestyle and making it into my career. </span></div>

I’m ready to kick off summer and that means making lots of cool smoothies! This smoothie recipe is like a healthy Piña Colada and will be perfect for breakfast or a snack on a hot summer day. Hope you all enjoy!</span></div>

flavorful dish with you all. </span><span style="line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">You miss those Campbell's Soup casseroles you used to enjoy before you went Paleo? I know sometimes I do. They are just so homey and comforting...</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Well, this recipe is a great substitute for those casseroles you might have enjoyed back in the day without any of the garbage. But this recipe is tuna noodle casserole with a little twist. And that twist is curry. Yum. And crispy shallots. Double yum. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you want it a little creamier, you can add one less egg and a little more mayo. Oh, and don't eat all the crispy shallots before the casserole is done cooking, like me! </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you've read my recipe for <a href="http://faganeatspaleo.blogspot.com/2016/05/fagan-eats-paleo-recipe-paleo-stuffed.html" target="_blank">Stuffed Shrimp</a>, you know I've used <a href="http://www.treelinecheese.com/" target="_blank">Treeline Treenut Cheese</a>. But I have to say that I love this product so much that I thought i'd devote a post to it. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Treeline is a dairy -free, soy free, gluten free, and non-GMO, cultured, probiotic nut cheese made from cashews. Whew. That was a mouthful. Said another way--There's no crap in it, and it's got probiotics as an added benefit. Consequently, those probiotics are what give it the tangy cheese-like flavor that made this product so wonderful. Yum. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Treeline products are vegan-friendly, and their website goes a long way to demonstrate their devotion to the humane treatment of animals. I so respect ethics in business. I've often felt that vegans and Paleo-ers aren't so far off from one another. Largely because we both avoid dairy, and that can be a little trickly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Treeline offers hard and soft nut cheeses. Though I must confess, I've only sampled the soft, French-style nut cheeses. They offer aged, hard nut cheeses in classic and cracked black pepper flavors. The soft cheeses come in scallion, chipotle serrano pepper flavor, green peppercorn, and garlic herb flavor. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I love, love, love these cheeses. I am sensitive to dairy, and I really have to limit my intake to just about zero. But I SO miss cheese. Treeline products really help satisfy that craving for me. When vegan products like this exist, there really is no reason to fall off the Paleo, dairy-free wagon. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You can't find Treeline nut cheeses everywhere yet, but Whole Foods and Natural Grocers both carry Treeline. Seriously. I can't recommend these products enough. Can you even imagine how they'd taste with Cappellos lasagna noodles?! Mmmmm. Paleo lasagna heaven. That experiment might just be in the near future. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hope this helps any of you who may be missing cheese on Paleo just like me. --J</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So, this isn't exactly authentic spumoni ice cream, but I'm guessing you already figured that much out. It's my Paleo take. Traditional spumoni ice cream has three flavors: chocolate, cherry, and pistachio with candied fruit/nut in between them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My version is strawberry, chocolate and avocado. Yum, yum! And even better, it's made with only frozen bananas as the base?! Give it a try, and if you're feeling adventurous - add some dried fruit/nuts to add a little texture. Hope you enjoy! --J</span></div>

<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Slice bananas into coins. Place in a freezer bag and freeze for at least two hours.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">

<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Take one third of the bananas and place into a food processor (a small food processor is best). Process until smooth. Add the strawberries and process again until smooth.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Place the strawberry mixture in a small freezer safe container (I use a 6 inch mini pie dish), moving the mixture to one side to make space for the other flavors. Place back in freezer.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Add the next third of bananas into the clean processor. Process until smooth. When smooth, add the cocoa and process again until combined.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Take the dish out of the freezer and if the strawberry has not completely set yet, use a spatula to move the strawberry mixture to the side and put back into the freezer until it is solid enough not to melt into other side. Add the chocolate mixture when the strawberry is set enough. Put back in the freezer.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Add the remaining third of banana slices into the clean processor and process until smooth. Add the avocado. Process again until smooth. Here, you may want to add additional maple syrup to taste.</span></div>

<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">ake the dish out of the freezer and and scrape any melted cocoa mixture to the side. When set, add the banana-avocado mixture.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Please the dish in the freezer for 2 hours loosely covered with foil. Then it's ready to serve and enjoy. This is best enjoyed immediately. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This past week, I tried out a pescatarian diet to see how I'd feel. But that got abandoned quickly when I had the idea to make Paleo a dish I used to enjoy when I was in college: Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Stuffed with Pineapple, Green Pepper and "Cheese." And boy am I glad I did!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;">This recipe is making me a "bacon makes everything better" believer. After being pescatarian for a week, eating bacon totally made fireworks go off in my brain. But I totally had been craving this recipe. I had to make it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You see, when I was in college, I used to spend my summers on South Padre Island, Texas with a big group of friends. I have some very fond memories of those summers. What an amazing time in my life! But at least once every summer, we used to cook a seafood feast for ourselves. My one friend, who was an SPI native, knew his way around the kitchen when it came to shrimp. By far, the crowd favorite was bacon wrapped shrimp with pineapple, green pepper and cream cheese. It was SO delicious, and that's what I've been craving lately. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So I set out to Paleo-ize that summer favorite. I guess I'm putting a pause on the whole pescatarian thing. But I disgress. To make this recipe Paleo, the main issue really was the cheese. If you are primal, feel free to substitute the nut cheese for cream cheese. I just don't do well with dairy myself, so I was thankful to find the Treeline brand of nut cheeses. Blog post review soon to follow! But spoiler alert, I love, love love their French-style nut cheeses! Treeline products really satisfy that unique dairy taste for me without the negative digestive consequences I'd normally suffer. Oh and they have probiotics. Score!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Back to the recipe. I'm really proud of this one, guys. It's one of those recipes that is so delicious, I feel all smug about it being Paleo too. One need not sacrifice flavor or taste on Paleo. This is my Paleo mantra. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You could totally make these as an appetizer or as a main course. After you try them, I think you'll find plenty of reasons to make them again. Hope you all enjoy! --J</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u>Instructions</u></b></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Preheat the oven to 450 degrees</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Prepare a rimmed baking sheet for the bacon to cook. I like to line with aluminum foil when I cook bacon because of the grease.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Also while the oven is preheating, if you haven't already, prepare the pineapple and green pepper, cutting into 12, 1-inch pieces.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When the oven is preheated, place the strips of bacon on the roasting pan and roast for 6 to 8 minutes just until the bacon starts to brown. The bacon should only be partially cooked. Leave the oven on at 450 degrees.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When the bacon is slightly browned, remove from oven and place on paper towel lined plate to drain the grease.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Place the shrimp in a bowl and lightly salt and add oil to coat it.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Assemble the stuffed shrimp by putting shrimp on the bottom, then a slice of pineapple, then a teaspoon of the nut cheese, and then the green pepper. Wrap a slice of bacon around the shrimp and stuffing and secure with a toothpick, going through the bacon, the shrimp, the green pepper, cheese, pineapple, and through the other side of the bacon again.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Repeat that process with the remainder of the shrimp and cook in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the shrimp is turned pink and is cooked through.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Remove from the oven and enjoy!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When I was in college, I used to think that I was too much a modern woman to learn how to cook. I wasn't the only one. A friend of mine would often quip that she had never. touched. raw chicken?!? You can probably guess that my then-diet consisted largely of take out and pre-prepared foods. It's no wonder I ended up gaining 15 pounds in college...</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I write this post to all of you who may believe that cooking is not your thing. To all of you--men and women alike--who may think cooking is just for housewives, moms, and grandmas. Oh or restaurant chefs. To all of you who think that you are too busy to cook---Here's the deal: You are human. You are on this earth. You should know how to feed yourself. And by feeding yourself, I don't mean peeling back foil and putting a plastic dish in the microwave or heading to the drive thru. I mean home cooking. Otherwise, you're ceding control over your own health. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Let me tell you something. If you are working on trying to improve your health, I can think of no better way than to properly nourish your body. Well that and getting sleep and exercising. But i'm getting off track here. I think I've used this analogy often, but it's like putting fuel in a car. With bad fuel, your car might not run at all. Or it might run inefficiently. Or it might break down entirely. And so it is with food. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Unfortunately, in this country, we've become so far removed from food sourcing and food preparation that taking ownership of nourishing yourself with whole, real food can feel daunting. We've grown up in an era where fast, processed food is king because only it can keep up with the pace of our insta-tweeting, screen-obsessed, text-messaging crazed lives. And slow food, well slow food just can't keep up with that kind of lifestyle. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I've learned to nourish myself and to cook in tandem because one habit supports the other. Without cooking food that satisfies my palate, I'd never make it on Paleo. When you learn how to cook food you love, food you love even more than McDonalds or whatever your vice may be, food that suits your palate, that's a very powerful place to be. When you learn that you can make a dish that's better tasting and that makes you feel better than eating a candy bar --good decisions naturally follow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I'm not suggesting we all need to become chefs. But I do believe that if you are new to Paleo and trying to navigate this lifestyle without doing any cooking whatsoever, well, that's a recipe for disaster (Sorry for the pun!) Google some Paleo recipes that look yummy to you. There are so many options out there. Try them, and then repeat until you have some dishes in your repertoire that can keep you going without feeling like you are suffering or doing without. Once you learn how to make whole, healthy, nourishing, enjoyable food you love, you'll forget about those donuts. Go bake yourself some Paleo muffins instead. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I know that this blog post is a dose of tough love. But I have to say that cooking has been integral to my health journey. Absolutely essential. I now find my cook ups wonderful, therapeutic times that I really enjoy and am so grateful for. You may never feel quite that way about cooking, but I guarantee you'll find your Paleo journey will get a lot easier once you take control of feeding yourself. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Happy Monday! --J</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Did you even know that you can roast radishes? I sure didn't until I was at a French restaurant with a friend one day. I have to say--I was intrigued. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;">The cool thing about roasting radishes is that they get a little browned, and the bite that raw radishes usually have mellows a lot. Radishes don't store well in the fridge, in my experience. So, if you buy a bunch of radishes, only intending to use a couple raw ones, this is a great way to use the rest. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This really isn't a recipe. It's more like an idea, just in case it never occurred to you to roast a radish before. Give it a try--it's super simple and yummy. Hope you all enjoy! --J</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I so love this recipe, guys. The lemon dill sauce that goes over the salmon is divine. Believe me, you'll want to find other things to slather it on. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The inspiration for this recipe started out like so many others: salmon in my freezer. And making fish is one of my favorite weeknight entrees because it is oh-so-easy and quick cooking. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This recipe includes one of my favorite techniques when it comes to working with fish. And that's rubbing it with some lemon to start. It really brightens up the fish. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The sauce uses my Paleo Mayo recipe (oh Paleo mayo, how amazingly tasty and versatile you are). But it really was inspired by a Persian dish called mast-o-musir. Mast-o-musir is a dipping sauce that's just yogurt and shallots. Take some pita or chips and dip it in the mast-o-musir, and I guarantee you, you won't stop! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Last but not least, I put a lot of shallots in the sauce, and if you want a little less bit, you might reduce the amount of shallots in the sauce or soak in water first to remove some of the bite. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Anyway, this dish is delicious and simple to cook, which makes it great for a regular weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Hope you enjoy! --J</span><br />

Pictured above are some radishes in my first test batch awaiting the oven. I can't wait to share it with you all!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Sun Basket is a meal kit delivery service based out of the Bay Area. Chef Justine Kelly, formerly of the well-known San Francisco restaurant, Slanted Door, works with local farmers to provide excellent ingredients for her recipes. The produce is organic and non-GMO, and the sourcing of the ingredients is responsible--so, think grass-fed meats, sustainably sourced fish, and pastured eggs. But how is it in practice, you ask?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I received my Sun Basket (pictured at the top) on a Tuesday because that's just when it arrives. There is no option for any alternative delivery date. You confirm some time the week before for delivery the following Tuesday. The packaging is quite nice, with ample insulation and cold-packs. In fact, you can even recycle it by using the printable labels on their website.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The first night I made the salmon puttanesca because I wanted the fish to be as fresh as possible. First off, the quality of the ingredients is beyond reproach. Stunning. See those garlic cloves in the above photo? Some of the most perfect-looking garlic cloves I've ever come across. They must do some serious quality control at Sun Basket. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Sun Basket provides recipe cards for each meal with very simple and easy instructions. They say that each recipe takes about 10 minutes of prep and about 25 minutes cooking time. Roughly. Some do vary. I must say, though, that I believe the cooking/prep times to be inaccurate. Each recipe, by the time prep and cooking was all said and done, took at least an hour. And that's time I'm not used to spending in the kitchen on weeknights because I usually do all my meal prep over the weekend. My stomach was growling. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The next night I decided to make the beef stir fry, because I was really craving beef. At this point, I was struggling with how to fit cooking these meals (yea, on day two, haha) into my evenings because it did take quite a bit of time. But i'm no food-waster, so I made the time. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The beef stir fry was good, but not great. The sauce was a little watery, and I think it's a little too easy to overcook the beef. But nevertheless, it was solid. Plus, I don't cook much Asian-inspired cuisine, so it got me out of my comfort zone, which I always appreciate. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">It makes tons of sense that this was the best, since the chef has quite a bit of experience working with these ingredients at Slanted Door. The dish was packed with flavor and left me licking my bowl--and marshaling every last ounce of willpower not to eat the portion I set aside for my boyfriend. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The only downside to this recipe is that the meatballs were crazy wet. The recipe suggested freezing them for ten minutes so they'd be easier to form. I froze them for 20 minutes, and they were still way too wet and hard to work with. Fortunately, the flavor was so amazing that I soon forgot about my meatball-forming woes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My boyfriend certainly loved this service, mostly because he was a beneficiary of this little experiment every night he came home from work. All in all, I think Sun Basket is really a positive meal kit experience, and I would definitely recommend giving it a try. --J</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Deviled eggs are one of my most favorite picnic foods. For that reason, and because they are oh-so-easy to make, they were one of the first things I ever learned to cook. So this week, i'm fancying up the good old deviled egg. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This recipe doesn't really have an intriguing origin story. One day, it just occurred to me that the ingredients for deviled eggs and the ingredients for bearnaise sauce are not so far off--maybe they can be combined somehow? And well, simple as that. That's how this recipe came about. </span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Bearnaise is a French sauce made with clarified butter, egg yolks, white wine vinegar, and herbs like tarragon. It's rich, smooth, and often used on steaks. Bearnaise is often referred to as the mother sauce of hollandaise. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Back to the recipe at hand. This recipe is so very easy to make. I always say that though, don't I? Believe me--if you can make deviled eggs, you can make this recipe AND it a beautiful (and impressive) dish to bring to parties. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Plus, once you make crispy shallots on your own, you'll start looking for more excuses to make and use them. Crispy shallots are little bits of crunchy goodness packed with onion-y flavor. Yum--Hope you all enjoy! --J</span></div>

<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil, add eggs and boil for 10 minutes. Remove from boiling water, and immediately plunge into cold water so that the eggs will stop cooking.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Once the eggs have sufficiently cooled, peel the eggs and then cut each egg in half lengthwise. </span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Transfer the cooked yolks to a separate bowl.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In the separate bowl, add the ghee, mayo, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and tarragon. Mix until very smooth.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Fill each half of the remaining egg whites with the mixture and set aside.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In a medium saucepan, add the oil and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the shallots and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcook (once they start to brown, they cook up fast!)</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When the shallots are done cooking, remove from heat and strain the crispy shallots from the oil and place on a plate covered with paper towels to drain off the excess oil.</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When ready to serve, sprinkle each egg carefully with smoked paprika. Then add a small sliver of tarragon to each and two small circular slices of crispy shallot. Serve and enjoy!</span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Note: Because these are made with ghee, they may harden in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed immediately. If you do refrigerate, they will soften when they come to room temperature.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This blog post is about an "online shopping club" I just started using called <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/" target="_blank">Thrive Market</a>. I've heard it described as an online retailer that's like WholeFoods and Costco having a baby. If you can picture that...</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I just love that description because it's so true! Thrive Market is an online "socially conscious" retailer that provides wholesale prices on some of your favorite organic and non-GMO products. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There is a subscription fee of about $60, but they offer a free 30-day trial to try it out. However, I think that if you start buying your Paleo staples from this service, you'll see that with the great prices the $60 price of admission is totally worth it. According to the Thrive website, when you pay an annual fee, that fee sponsors the fee for a low income family to become Thrive members too. That's good to know!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Shipping on orders over $49 is free and they have a bunch of different member offers if you place an order above a certain amount (over $99), like free coconut oil or Paleo mayo. You just gotta be on the lookout, but it seems like they always have some deal going on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I signed up for Thrive when they were offering a 25% discount on new orders and a free beef bone broth. (Woohoo!). Plus shipping was free for an order over $49. I purchased a box of Epic Bars, this amazing and oh-so affordable Thrive-branded ghee, the free bone broth, and tons of my favorite Inka plantain chips. On top of the 25% to 50% discounted prices, I saved an additional $23 with the 25% new order discount and the free bone broth. It really was a no-brainer to give it a try. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So what's the verdict? I really love Thrive. Epic Bars are usually so expensive, so buying through Thrive saves me a ton of money. Plus, their branded ghee is awesome. The options at the natural grocery store made buying ghee a little cost-prohibitive, but at Thrive costs, I can afford to make ghee one of my go-to cooking oils. Yay! The price on my oft-purchased plantain chips was a good deal over the retail prices I pay at the local grocery store as well. Overall, I'm really glad I signed up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As always, here's my little disclaimer. Thrive did not pay me or offer me any products to write this product review. I just really appreciate the service, and I feel like it's been really helpful to me. Hope this helps all of you! -- J</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have a confession to make. I know kale is having a moment right now and everyone loves it, but I just don't enjoy it. That's exactly why i'm the perfect person to share a new kale recipe with you. I know how to make it tasty. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am a firm believer that any vegetable can be made to taste delicious. It's all in the preparation. Except for beets. Beets are the devil... But I digress, yes, any vegetable can be made into something delicious. (Except beets, haha). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Kale is just one of those things I never got into. It has a distinctive flavor. It 's earthiness can definitely overpower the flavor of a dish. And it's tough and the edges are coarse. To me, it just screams "don't eat me." But the health benefits of eating a nutrient-packed powerhouse leafy green like kale cannot be ignored. And they especially can't be ignored when they show up in my Imperfect Produce box for the week. Oops. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">So, I set to work to make the kale into something I actually wanted to eat. This meant adding tons of flavor through duck fat, chicken broth, lots of garlic, and fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And boy is it yummy. With this simple, fast, and flavorful recipe, there is no reason kale should ever go bad in your fridge (as it has in mine before). Whip up this sauteed kale real quick on a weeknight for a nutritious side. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hope you all enjoy this recipe--oh and go out and buy some duck fat for roasting and sauteeing veggies. You'll thank me! --J</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You may have noticed that I've been talking a lot about this new produce delivery service called Imperfect Produce. And I thought I'd take a moment to do a quick review of their service. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<a href="http://shop.imperfectproduce.com/faq" style="font-size: xx-large;" target="_blank">Imperfect Produce</a><span style="font-size: x-large;"> is a Bay Area produce delivery service that sources "ugly" fruits and vegetables or surpluses from local farms that would otherwise go to waste. That makes it extremely affordable. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You can get a mixed produce box, a vegetable box, or a fruit box in four different sizes (S, M, L, XL.) They even have all organic box options. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Imperfect produce delivers to multiple Bay Area public locations and offers home delivery to some areas too. Fortunately, home delivery is offered where I live. Yippee!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Before I launch into my feelings on this service, I just want to give a little disclaimer in that I am not being paid to write this review. I just find the service so valuable that I wanted to share. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">The picture above is of a small organic produce box. I got 2 pounds of sweet potatoes, 1 pound of zucchini, 1 pound of cameo apples, 1 pound of lemons, 1 pound of valencia oranges, 1 pound of watermelon radishes, and 2 heads of butter lettuce. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">This was one of my favorite boxes I've ever received. I mean--watermelon radishes!?! They aren't the kind of thing you work with as a home cook everyday. I feel like this service is like getting a discounted price on designer clothes. And yeah, in this analogy, watermelon radishes are the designer clothes. That's how excited I get about hard to come by produce.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Anyway, that's the other thing I love about this service. It gets me to try stuff I might not normally buy on my own when left to my own devices, you know. I have to confess that I haven't been the biggest fan of kale, but thanks to the Imperfect Produce box I got this week, I've got a pretty tasty kale recipe coming your way. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">To give you the quick conclusion (in case you haven't already figured it out), I love this service. I totally recommend it because it's a convenient, affordable way to enjoy quality local seasonal produce. And that's totally Paleo. ---J</span>FaganEatsPaleohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11983889218652745654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361379163562827420.post-84026078864205205702016-04-01T03:00:00.000-07:002016-04-01T14:22:45.947-07:00Fagan Eats Paleo Recipe: Paleo Chicken Pizza Poppers <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I don't know about you, but I miss eating chicken nuggets sometimes; that experience of eating bite-sized chicken pieces and dipping them in sauces. Yum. Not the easiest to recreate on Paleo though. But I think my new recipe does the trick...</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You see, if I see a long ingredient list in a recipe, I move on. It feels too daunting if I have to buy a bunch of things to use just once. That's why I aim to make recipes super simple, mostly with stuff you might have around the house. And this recipe is no exception. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Here, I was hoping to create something fun that would work as a chicken nugget substitute without a bunch of fuss. Something I might try to make on a weeknight. This recipe strikes that balance. These Chicken Pizza Poppers would be great for kids too. But I must admit, I haven't had a chance to test that theory! If you do, let me know what the verdict happens to be. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hope you all find these fun to eat. Enjoy! --J</span><br />
