Paleo Pigs in a Blanket

This recipe is basically the adult/paleo twist on a childhood favourite! This combines grass-fed pork sausages, with a perfectly fluffy egg wrap. A perfect meal at anytime of the day.

Ingredients:

2 large eggs

2 grass-fed pork sausages

2 tbls. Olive oil

1 tsp. salt & pepper

1 tbls. hot Sauce

3 tbls. honey-mustard

Directions:

1. Begin by heating oven to 450 F and two small skillets on low heat. Then in a separate bowl, combine hot sauce, honey mustard, and salt & pepper in a small bowl and set aside.

2. Add a thin layer of olive oil to the base of both pans. Turn one pan to medium heat and add both sausages. Cover to avoid loss of moisture and let sit until one side is browned, then flip. Approx. 7 mins  per side. 

3. Turn second pan on medium heat. Crack and wisk one egg, add to olive oil based pan. Create a thin egg layer and cook until side is golden brown in colour. Flip, and allow next side to brown. Repeat this for second egg. 

4. Once both egg wraps are finished, add a thin coating of sauce mix. Place one sausage to end of each egg wrap and roll. 

5. Wrap both rolls in tin foil and place on baking tray in oven for approx. 10 mins. 

 

Honey Walnut Kale Salad

Kale is loaded with nutrients, and beyond good for your body. And if you love an easy, fresh tasting, and delicious salad then look no further. This Kale Salad recipe uses only 4 ingredients, but can be adjusted to whatever your heart desires! Does not get any simpler, and is absolutely amazing on its own, or as a side dish to some proteins. The most important part is to really massage the wet ingredients into the leaves, otherwise they will not absorbed the sweetness of the honey completely. Many people don't know about this step, but trust me, once you try it you will be amazed by the difference.

Ingredients:

1 head fresh kale

1/3 cup olive Oil

2 tlbs. organic honey

1/3 cup crushed walnuts

1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions:

1. Being by tearing the kale leaves from stems and ripping into smaller portions. Place in bowl, and discard of the stems.

2. Add olive oil, and honey into bowl and begin to massage into the kale leaves. This will allow for the kale to properly absorb the honey and oil, and will improve the overall taste greatly (a little secret I picked up during a cooking class).

3. Next add the crushed walnuts and mix entire bowl all together.

3-Ingredient Protein Ice Cream

This is a super easy and delicious recipe to create a 100% Paleo ice cream, with no churring or fancy equipment needed! Plus, you can put your own spin on it to make it whatever kind of ice cream you've been so desperately craving. Serves 1-2

Ingredients:

1 banana 

1 scoop protein powder (I used vanilla)

1 cup almond milk

Directions:

1. Peel and place banana in a ziplock bag into a freezer overnight. Peeling it before freezing will remove most of the banana taste. 

2. Once frozen, cut banana into 1/2" slices and place into blender or processor. 

3. Add scoop of protein powder, along with around 1/4 cup of almond milk to blender and begin blending. 

4. This part is important. The thickness of the blend should be very thick and almost "paste-like". So continue to add small amounts of almond/coconut milk, and blend. Remember that it's better to have to little almond milk, than too much! 

5. Once blending is finished, add any mixtures and toppings into it and enjoy it right then and there, or place back in freezer for the next time you want a treat!
