Chicken Taco Bowls

This low carb, quick and easy, budget friendly meal has been a hit with our family!! I use green salsa when I make mine. Serve over brown rice for health! It's only 8:40 am and dinner is already in my crock pot!
(Obviously for dairy free, just don't add the cheese)

Coconut Whip Cream

We love our whipped cream in coffee, on berries for dessert, really on any of our primal desserts.  But it’s nice to have an alternative to dairy and for our Paleo friends.
Henry thought it would be good to have some cold coconut milk and stuck a can into the fridge for a couple of hours. When he opened it he noticed that it had gotten very thick on top, so he scooped it out and noticed that it had separated from the coconut water. So he added a little cinnamon and a little organic vanilla extract to the thick coconut and whipped it up. To our happy surprise it got thick and creamy immediately, and Oh Wow!!! sooooo good.
So since then we’ve been enjoying our morning cup of coffee with a spoon full.
So here are a couple of pictures for you – try it, it is so incredibly easy and completely gluten and dairy-free.
Step 1: Take a “full fat” can of Organic Coconut Milk and place it in the fridge for some time or best over night

Step 2: Make sure that you scoop out all the thickened coconut cream, and that the water is left over. Don’t discard the water, use it to drink or in a shake.

Step 3: After scooping it out, add a little cinnamon and vanilla, and whip it in a mixing bowl until it begins to thicken.
Step 4: Enjoy every bite, anyway you like!

Laci says: "This actually is a lot more like a whole wheat bread texture and taste even...would make a good hamburger bun or sandwich bread..not just to sit and eat a slice like I was thinking but great stuff!"

Chorizo and Eggs

I decided to try something different for a protein meal or snack. I've had regular sausage and eggs but wanted to throw in some spice. I bought a package of mild chorizo sausage. This sausage has lots of grease so when you cook it, you'll want to drain the oil and use as many paper towels as necessary to get most of the oil out of the cooked sausage. I scrambled about 5 eggs and added the sausage while eggs where cooking. When eggs were done cooking, I added some sharp cheddar cheese to the top to melt on it. Shred about 1 cup of cheese. This will make 5 servings. Will add nutritional value later. Makes a wonderful protein snack or add a salad, salsa and a few tortilla chips for an eating day.
