Paleo Cranberry Apple Crisp

February 8, 2016 By Ligia

IMG_0599

I’ve never been a big fan or cranberries, but when my sweet tooth is craving something and I can’t have cookies or danishes, I turn to what I can have. Luckily, I found this great Paleo apple crisp recipe that has gotten me through the last month. It is so yummy.

I found this recipe here.

4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced (probably the hardest part)
1/2 cup dried unsweetened cranberries
2T honey
2T orange juice
1t. cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg (I don’t have so I didn’t add it)

For the crumble:
1 cup almond flour (I use Trader Joe’s almond meal)
1/3 c. pecans, finely chopped
3T coconut oil, melted
2T honey
1t. cinnamon
pinch of salt.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the apples, cranberries, honey, orange juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Place the mixture into a pie dish.

Using the same bowl, mix together the ingredients for the crumble until combined. Spoon the crumble over the apple mixture Bake for 30-35 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

I pretty much ate the whole thing (not in one sitting). I divided up into portions and put some in the freezer and the rest in the fridge so I can enjoy throughout the week.

I have a lot more yummy Paleo recipes to share so stay tuned!

January 31, 2016 By Ligia

My journey with the Paleo diet started January 2nd. At the end of this month we will come completed a 30 “cleanse”. I have found some delicious new favorites, there is the first.

First up are these yummy amazing Paleo Steak Rolls. I found the recipe here.

Ingredients include:

Skirt steak (also called Arrachera in Mexican Butcher shops)

Green pepper

Red pepper

Carrots

Zuccini

Salt/pepper to taste

Homemade rub or any rub of your choice (optional)

  1. Cut the steak into strips.
  2. I add salt and pepper and olive oil to my veggies and then wrapped them with steak.
  3. Use a toothpick to keep secure. Grilled them on my stove griller.
  4. Oven at 350 degrees and cook for 20 minutes.IMG_0748

Both of the kids liked them. I saved some for lunches for the next day. We easily eat 2 each.

I love having my veggies and protein in one dish.

Gluten Free Strawberry Poke Cake

June 9, 2015 By Ligia

I have found a new favorite summer treat: the gluten free strawberry poke cake.

A friend brought it to a gathering (it was not gluten free) but I decided that I was going t make it! That is my mission in life: to create what isn’t gluten free into Gluten Free. So far I have had many successes and some fails. Luckily more successes than fails.

Here is a new success:

IMG_4736

 

I found the recipe here. Not gluten free but I just swapped my handy-dandy Safeway Gluten Free Cake Mix.IMG_4557

Box of gluten free white cake

1 box of instant pudding (3.4 oz)

4 eggs

3/4 c. vegetable oil (I used Coconut oil)

3/4 c. milk (I used Lactaid)

1 (3oz) box strawberry flavored Jell-O

1 c. boiling water

1/2 c. cold water

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Spray 9×13 in pan with cooking spray.

Using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, and milk until well mixed, about 2 minutes. Pour into pan and bake for 4o minutes.

Let cool for 20-30 minutes.

Using a serving fork or straw, poke holes all over cake.

In a medium bowl, mix Jell-O and boiling water until Jell-O is dissolved. Mix in cold water and pour mixture slowly over cake so that it sinks down in all holes.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours.

Spread cool whip on top of cake and top with sliced strawberries.

(In the original recipe, she tells you how to make Whipped Topping)
