5 Ingredient Paleo Chocolate Sun Granola

by 2 Comments

Last week I was frantically trying to get the kids and myself ready to tackle the busy day. 30 minutes before I was supposed to start work, I got a call that my childcare plans fell through for the day. This also meant I had to figure out breakfast.

All the kids wanted was cereal. The Dad loves to buy an organic gluten-free cereal that’s really good, but full of sugar. I’m not down to load the kids up with refined sugar for health reasons of course (we save those times for donuts!), but my kids literally turn into Tasmanian Devils when they have sugary cereal for breakfast. I’m not talking the cute Tasmanian Devil animal, I’m talking the Looney tunes character (did I just age myself?). They get nuts….

Paleo Blender Blueberry Muffins

by Leave a Comment

When I was in high school, my favorite breakfast was blueberry muffins. My parents used to buy a giant tray of muffins from Costco every couple of months. The tray had blueberry, banana nut and chocolate chip muffins. Blueberry was always my breakfast of choice. This tray of muffins was delicious because it was as close to fresh-baked muffins as we got in our house.

It always felt like a special morning treat to have a fresh blueberry muffin for breakfast….

I couldn’t eat beef (or a lot of things) for about four months. I was working though some auto immune stuff and eliminating beef was part of that. During that time, All I wanted was a burger. So I created a paleo turkey burger.

Substituting ground turkey into ground beef recipes works a lot of times. But when you want a burger-like a real hamburger, it’s just not the same vibe. It’s a different kind of sandwich….

How to Set up a Paleo Kitchen

A couple years ago I made Rawtarian’s banana cream pie and thought it was a lot of work. That pie is still one of my favorite things. I just made the filling as a pudding for dessert and it triggered my memory of how much work I used to think it was. All you have to do is throw everything in a blender. It takes about five minutes. I struggled to cook and prepare real food for a long time because I didn’t have my kitchen set up for cooking….

When first making the switch to a paleo diet, it can be really overwhelming. One of the difficult things is building up your ingredients so you can always make a meal with what you have. Every week you can create your shopping list from the meals you will be making, but it can be exhausting never having the condiments and repeating ingredients you need.

I created a list of the pantry items used most often with paleo cooking. I bulked some baking ingredients in here because for me, baking is essential. Feel free to eliminate those if baking isn’t your jam….

Have I mentioned how much I dislike recipes that require you to use every dish and utensil on hand so you can spend 30 minutes cleaning?

That’s where High Speed Blender comes in (I currently use a Vitamix and we are in love). If you haven’t met High Speed Blender yet, let me tell you why you need an introduction (I have more information about high speed blenders in this post)….
