Ginger beef

We're slowly entering grilling season-- slowly, but surely. In light of that-- here is one of my favorite paleo-grill receipes!

Ginger Beef-- from Everyday Paleo

1 skirt steak (mine was 1.5#)

Marinade:
1/4 cup coconut aminos
1 TBSP fish sauce
1/2 tsp ground ginger (or 1 tsp fresh ground ginger)
pinch of salt
Sriracha to taste (I usually use two squirts or so)

Mix the marinade ingredients together, and pour over the steak-- marinate for a 2-24 hours. Put it on the grill-- careful not to overcook since this is a thin cut of meat.

Italian Turkey Meatballs

I still love spaghetti with meatballs from time to time... and especially in this crazy weather, I could use some comfort food!


Meatballs

• 1# ground turkey
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1 TBSP oregano
• 3/4 TBSP dried rosemary (I tried to crush mine up into smaller bits)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp basil
• hot pepper flakes to taste
• salt/ pepper

Mix all of the above ingredients. Roll into 1-2 inch balls and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake in the oven at 350 for 25 minutes (or until meat is cooked).

I use a spaghetti squash instead of noodles-- just poke some holes in the squash and put it in the microwave for 10 minutes (turn it once around 5 minutes)...and let it cool before you handle it. 

Serve the hot "noodles" and meatballs with your favorite sauce... and maybe some fresh Parmesan cheese if you're feeling frisky. Pairs nicely with dark chocolate for dessert. :-)

Stuffed chicken

Last Sunday I bought some thinly sliced chicken breasts and decided to make some stuffed, baked chicken.

I got myself all set up and ready to stuff some chicken! You can use whatever you want... I settled on 3 varieties--
1- Ham + mustard + cheese
2- Bacon + greens + cheese
3- Tomato sauce + pepperoni + parm cheese

I just set my chicken breasts out, had my foil and skewers handy and just put the ingredients in the middle and rolled them up! I stuffed them in foil then poked them with a skewer to keep it all together... threw them in a baking dish and called it a day. 350F for 30 minutes, or until chicken is booked.

Tip-- I had thick-sliced bacon and I microwaved it for 2-3 minutes first just to get it a little cooked... It takes a long time for the inside of the chicken breast to heat up- and I wasn't sure the bacon would cook thoroughly by itself. I'd recommend just cooking your bacon all the way, and then stuffing it.

Foil + skewer

Finished! I made about 8 of these bad boys for the week!
