Paleo pot stickers (inside out)

I have been on a pot stickers kick lately and I  usually just buy store bought cook them then eat the inside lol. So I thought one day why don't I just make the filling myself with a side of ham fried cauliflower rice.

Magic happened in the kitchen tonight. I bought the amazing coconut aminos which is a paleo and vegan "soy" sauce. And began cooking.

Chopping away with a bag of mixed carrots, cabbage and broccoli

Next adding my ground turkey into my mixing bowl

Then adding diced onions garlic and my cabbage mix 

Dont forget about this magic sauce

Next mash that meat and veggies together like meatloaf

Grab some good quality olive oil for frying and add it to a hot pan

Using a tablespoon scoop meat out and fry away turning after 5 minutes 

After frying them place onto parchment lined baking sheet

Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes

My husband says it smells like pot stickers and it sure does.

Serve with a side of ham fried cauliflower rice and coconut aminos!

Ingredients :

1pound ground turkey ( chicken or pork)

2 C cabbage carrot mix chopped fine

3TBS onion diced

2 tsp minced garlic 

1 TBS coconut aminos 

1/2 tsp Himalayan salt

Place ground turkey in a mixing bowl. Chop up cabbage,carrot, and broccoli mix very finely. Next dice up onion and garlic. Place everything with the ground turkey. Add coconut aminos and mash together. Next add salt. Heat pan and once hot add olive oil and start scooping your meat with a tablespoon and place into hot pan.  After about 5 minutes turn all the meat over.  Once frying is complete place onto prepared baking sheet. Cook in oven for 20 to 25 minutes at 400 degrees. Serve with a side of coconut aminos for dipping and enjoy!

Healthy Sweet and sour chicken !!

My family loves Chinese food. But do you honestly know what you're eating? I sure don't know if it's full of gmo, msg, gluten....etc.

My take on this is a little healthier and full of flavors.

Oven 325° 9x13 baking dish.

Ingredients:

1 pound chicken cubed
1/4 C ketchup
1/4 C raw honey
1/2 C coconut sugar
1/3 C Apple cider vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbs coconut aminos
1 tbs coconut oil
Optional- pineapple and veggies

In a mason jar mix vinegar, honey, coconut sugar, garlic powder, coconut aminos and ketchup. Shake well.  In a skillet place coconut oil and turn on medium heat once hot add chicken and fry.  Once the chicken is fully cooked add to 9x13 baking dish. Place veggies and pineapple then pour sauce over and bake for 30 minutes. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice.

Can you smell it? No probably not, but I can.

Healthy oatmeal peanut butter cookies

I absolutely love peanut butter. But with all the new nut butters it's hard to decide which to choose. I usually eat cashew butter or sunbutter. But today its all about peanut butter.

 This cookie is rich in flavor and packed with protein. Simple ingredients all organic make this cookie worth every bit.

 I stay away from white and brown processed sugar and opt for a natural healthy pure sugar like agave, honey, maple syrup, stevia, dates, and coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is exactly what brown sugar taste like. So using it in place of brown sugar in cookies and homemade bbq sauces is a must.

Ingredients:

3/4 C organic rolled oats
1/2 tsp organic cinnamon
1 Tbs baking soda
Pinch himalayan sea salt (small pinch)
1 large egg ( room temp)
1 Tbs maple syrup
5 Tbs coconut sugar ( blended fine)
2/3 C peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla( good quality)

Pre heat oven 350°

Mix oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
In a separate bowl beat egg. Add in peanut butter and maple syrup mix well. Next add in coconut sugar and vanilla beat with whisk until combined.
Using a spoon add in the dry ingredients into wet half at a time until mixture is completely combined.
Spoon a tablespoon onto a silicone lined baking sheet. Should make 12 nice size cookies. Bake for 8-10 minutes. But check during the cooking process.  Cool for 2 minutes and eat up!

healthy banana blueberry muffins

I could not find any healthy muffin recipes that I would feed my kids online. Recipe after recipe I would find "healthy" muffins loaded with refinded sugar and wheat. I came up with this simple, kid friendly, figure healthy muffins.  Made with organic oats, applesauce ( no sugar) raw honey, organic cinnamon.

Ingredients

1 cup ground oats ( oat flour )
1 1/2 cup oats
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp himalayan sea salt
2 ripe bananas (smashed)
1/3 c applesauce
1/4 c honey
1 C blueberries

Pre heat oven to 350° Prepare muffin tin using paper cups or oil.
Mix oat flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, baking powder in a bowl. In a seperate bowl add applesauce, honey, bananas ( mashed). mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients mix well. Fold in blueberries. Scoop batter into the muffin tin. Fill until batter is gone. Cook for 20-25 minutes. Cool and eat up. Store in fridge up to a week if they last that long.

For vegan you can substitute honey for agave or maple syrup.
