We on paleo love our eggs. A rather simple omelette with peppers,mushrooms,ham,onions, goat cheese and chives.

I used this recipe to make a paleo cake/sweet bread. Instead of baking it into a small loaf pan I used this small square dish. Then for dessert I topped my cake with organic honey & sliced strawberries. 

And I will try this out !

Have a look at their clothes they’re amazing!

How awesome does this Paleo recipe from damedayne for Sweet Potato Shrimp Cakes with Bacon Guacamole look?  LOVE IT!  #crossfitcandy

I was inspired by @paleohunt on Instagram when she posted her brunch of plantains and bacon guacamole. I didn’t have plantains on hand so I was about to make sweet potato chips instead. However my weird brain told me I need to add more protein. Here’s what went down in my kitchen.

Cakes:
3 sweet potato peeled and grated
8-10 tiger prawns/shrimps peeled
4 free range eggs
1/2 yellow onion chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
2 - 4 tbsp coconut oil for frying

Heat the coconut oil in a skillet on low to medium heat. Mix the sweet potato, eggs, onions and salt and pepper in a bowl. Take a handful of the mixture form into a pancake then push one large shrimp on the center of the pancake. Fry shrimp face down for about 4 minutes on low to medium heat. Turn the pancake on the other side when the shrimp is cooked. Fry for another 2-3 minutes until it is cooked through.

I wanna make love to this.

theangrytherapist reviews Store Bought Paleo Bread and Captures His Inherent Disappointment  in “The Saddest Paleo Breakfast Photo Known To Man”

Someone posted about Paleo bread on Facebook. With the help of Google, I found a boutique natural foods store 3.2 miles away that carried it. So I get into my car and speed there like a Heroin addict headed downtown. I mean, look at that. Looks like the real deal, right? A cute girl in the nuts aisle smiled at me while passing and I forgot why I was there. Like Nicholas Cage in Weather Man, I had to repeat out loud what I was doing at the grocery store. ”Pale-o bread. Pale-o bread”. Men, predictable. Anyway, bread in the freezer. Not so promising. But I felt hopeful. So I binged at the taco stand right next door because the solution to go from Paleo ”influenced” to strict Paleo was sitting in my car. So I had a bean burrito and a double cheeseburger and I don’t wanna talk about it.

I get home, throw my keys, and decide to make my favorite dinner, breakfast. Toast the bread. Slather it with butter and honey with a shit eating grin on my face like I was about to have makeup sex. 

I take a bite.

Drum roll…

Holy shit!

What do I think about this 8 dollar loaf of “bread”?

Fucking disgusting.

Don’t let that photo fool you. It tasted like a thin dry sponge with dishwashing soap on it. No joke. Not exaggerating. That’s exactly what it tasted like. I almost spit it out.

So disappointed. 

Last night was my “cheat” day. I had wood fire pizza dough that was so amazing, I wanted to roll around in it naked and make love to it. Apples and oranges, guys. There is no bread substitute. 

I say if you’re going to eat bread, just eat bread. The difference between real bread and Paleo bread is like crackers and wet crackers. But do it in moderation like I try. And if you’re not, then don’t. But all this Paleo bread bullshit is only going to get your hopes up and mad at yourself because you should have talked to the girl at the grocery store. What?

PS I have it on good authority, though, that cookingcaveman has an awesome recipe for paleo bread that’s super easy to make & delicious.  #crossfitcandy

Serves 8

The classic pairing of lamb and mint gets another layer of flavor with the addition of spring onions or leeks.

Ingredients: 

• 1 (4-pound) semi-boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of excess fat
• 6 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fennel seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
• 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 bunch spring onions or 4 large leeks, white and light green parts only, roughly chopped
• 1 large bulb fennel, cored and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup white wine or water
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint

Method: 

Preheat oven to 475°F. Place lamb in a roasting pan fitted with a rack.

Put garlic, fennel seeds, salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely ground, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl several times. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and stir in a tablespoon of the oil. Rub mixture over lamb.

Roast lamb 10 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 
300°F and continue roasting until lamb reaches desired doneness, about 1 1/2 hours for medium. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes.

While lamb rests, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and fennel and cook 2 minutes. Add wine, cover, and continue to cook until vegetables are very soft, about 10 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and stir in mint leaves. Carve lamb and serve slices with spring onion mixture.

Serves 4

These easy to make grilled sweet potatoes are a wonderfully healthy substitution for fries or roasted potatoes made with oil. Watch the grill so the potatoes get tender with just a little bit of char and not burnt. Serve with a side of mixed greens.

Ingredients: 

• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
• 2 tablespoons minced shallot
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 pound sweet potatoes (1 large or 2 medium), sliced lengthwise in 1/2-inch-thick slices

Method: 

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, vinegar, honey, cilantro, shallot and pepper until blended.

Prepare the grill for medium-heat cooking.

Brush sweet potatoes on both sides with dressing. Place sweet potatoes on the grill. Grill, covered, about 6 minutes on each side or until tender and charred. To serve, slice in strips and drizzle with remaining dressing.
