Living Insanity's Loving Food

My husband signed up for a cow share with about 5 people total.  A farmer met them all and they took turns picking packages of beef.  It was a really great experience and buying a 1/5th of a cow and storing it in the average person's freezer is doable.  I've heard from people who buy 1/2 a cow that you need a lot of storage for all that meat.  This is our haul.  There are some beef bones, ground beef, two roasts, cubed beef, and a steak.  I have the steak thawed for dinner tonight.  Both of the roasted have already been cooked and several of the ground beef packages have been used too. 

I think I told everyone I know yesterday how great this biscuit recipe is.  I am used to my paleo baked goods not being very good.  This recipe rocks and I'm so happy I found it.  I can see people making these biscuits to go with Easter ham next weekend.  My husband wants to try to make them spicy and use them with cornbread.  I'm using the leftover rosemary biscuits and adding some coconut butter and Italian seasonings to go with some zucchini spaghetti later this week. You must rolls these out thick.  They do not rise and they do flatten out a bit.  I got about 9 biscuits out of the recipe.  I also used coconut flour on wax paper so the dough wouldn't stick while rolling.  I just like how fluffy coconut flour is and I happen to have more of it in my pantry than almond flour. Almond Rosemary Biscuits 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour plus 1/2 cup for dusting (I used coconut flour for dusting) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking sod...

I hated this recipe .  It was very bland and a lot like eating soupy mashed cauliflower.  I love cream of mushroom soup, but this paleo version did not work for me.  We tried a lot of different additions to make it edible but I could only eat one bowl and could not like this.

I love this recipe!  I have made this casserole twice now and the leftovers are perfect to reheat in the microwave.  I made some additions to the recipe , add diced mushrooms and diced parsnips to the filling and season with some minced garlic.  Shepherd's Pie with Garlic Mashed "Potato" Topping filling: 2 tbs. olive oil 1 large onion, diced 1 lb. turkey or pork bacon, cut into 2 inch slices 2 cups diced carrots 2 cups diced parsnips 2 cups diced celery 1 lb. ground meat of choice 1 package of mushrooms, diced ½ tsp. salt 1 tsp. black pepper ½ tsp. smoked paprika 1 tsp. minced garlic 1 cup low-sodium, organic chicken broth Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 10-15 minutes, until soft. Add chopped bacon and cook until just getting crisp. Add carrots, parsnips, mushrooms and celery, allowing to cook in bacon fat for 10 more minutes. Add ground meat and garlic to skillet and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook until me...

I just love these!  I've made them for breakfast twice now.  I used this recipe .  I threw half a rutabaga and half an onion into my food processor.  I added seasonings, just salt and pepper, and fried it all in some coconut oil.  Ingredients (2 servings) 2 tablespoons of coconut oil 1/2 cup diced onion.  I used a sweet yellow onion 2 cups shredded rutabaga.  I just shredded half a large rutabaga  1/4 -1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper Instructions Heat a frying pan (I used nonstick) on medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Add everything into the pan and cook for a few minutes to soften the onion. Continue cooking on medium heat tossing gently a few times for about 10 minutes. Cook for another 5 minutes pressing down with a spatula to brown them a bit more being careful not to burn the rutabaga. Use a spatula to remove from the pan and eat!  So simple and very good.  

I found this recipe after Thanksgiving was past but it tastes like stuffing.  I've made it a few times now for breakfast and for a dinner side dish.  We added Italian seasonings and instead of trying to force the mixture into patties we just cook it all in a non stick skillet.  We also used the whole egg Ingredients 2 medium zucchini, grated 1 medium sweet potato, grated 4 green onions, minced 1 -2 lemons, zested 2 handfuls mint (we skipped this and added dry Italian seasonings) 1 egg white, or egg substitute(we used 1 whole egg) 2 ...
