Hey guys! I have a couple of new favorite recipes you have to try. Whether you’re new to Whole30 or Paleo, or you’re a seasoned veteran like us, both of these recipes are super yummy.
The first one is the Layered Taco Casserole from Living Loving Paleo. If you use just-ripe plantains that are sweet but still firm, you end up with an amazing flavor paired with the spices in the ground beef. I made guacamole on my Sunday cook-day to go along with this one and portioned it out in small plasticware cups so it could be added after the meals were heated. We also added a dollop of lactose-free sour cream to it when we had it for dinner, which really took the flavor up another notch. Spanish cauli-rice pairs nicely with this one too.
The second actually came about during one of my famous “E.J’s hungry, wants something different, and I didn’t prepare anything specific to eat” days. We had pork chops and apples that needed to be used, and while I had originally intended to do something in the oven with them, I made Wiener Schnitzel instead. It’s a bit messy in the kitchen, like all fried meals, but the flavors really shine, especially when I topped them with quick homemade applesauce:
{Super Cheating Quick Applesauce recipe: peel and core 3-5 granny smith apples and chop into 1/2-ish chunks. Put in microwave safe container and cover, microwave for 6 minutes. Transfer to blender and blend. If serving with savory dishes, nothing else is needed. Otherwise you can add cinnamon and/or coconut sugar to ramp up the sweet factor.}
Served with a salad topped with oil and balsamic vinegar, this meal turned boring pork chops into restaurant-quality yum!
