Sweet 'Tato and Leek Soup

This recipe was so easy, I almost couldn't believe how much flavour it had!

Recipe:

about 4 cups of frozen cubed sweet potatos

1 leek, chopped

frozen homemade chicken stock, about 3 cups

1/2 head of roasted garlic

1) I put everything in my slow cooker for about 5 hours.
2) Pureed it all.
3) Top with a sprinkle of pepper and a hint of sea salt.
4) Eat two bowls and don't feel guilty! (or maybe that's only me ;))

Paleo-style Pancakes!

I can't get enough of these things! They are so dang tasty! The consistency is pretty simiar to a pancake made with traditional flour, but almond flour is the new tradition, 'round here!

Recipe:

1 egg

about 1/2 cup almond meal

splash of vanilla

bit of cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice is yummy too)

small handful of flax seeds

optional - a few pieces of smooshed fruit, berries are my fave

1) Mix everything in a bowl.
2) Heat a pan with a bit of coconut oil, medium heat.
3) This batch makes 2 small-medium sized pancakes.
4) Flip to other side after about 3-4 minutes or golden brown.
5) Once cooked, top with fruit, almond butter, honey or pretty much whatever you can think of!



First!

Whew! Another blog for me to manage! I decided to start this one to keep to things strictly Paleo. I will have food pictures and links to great articles...none written by moi, of course, and many other things that have to do with Paleo!
