Mexican Spicy Meat (or Beyond Meat) FillingBy Jill PlaceThis is my absolute versatile go-to base for quick Mexican (I LOOOVVVE Them!) meals, whether they be tostadas (my fave), tacos, chimis, or ... you name it! And I've made it even more food-sensitive with "Beyond Meat" ... a Non-GMO and Gluten Free pea-protein DELICIOUS meat alternative.The BEST Paleo GranolaBy Jill PlaceThis TERRIFIC paleo granola from theroastedroot.com is great for breakfast (now that I'm doing intermittent fasting I have no use for it) or a snack (I'm AT it!). You can even make it vegan. And it's infinitely cheaper (and much fresher) than what you can buy. Eat it up FOR REAL!Chicken with Quick Mole SauceBy Jill PlaceMole, a signature sauce in Mexican cooking, is made lower-calorie and even food-sensitive with this knockout recipe from Eating Well magazine.
I just LOVE cooking with herbs (the leaves of the plant) and spices (the roots, bark, and seeds, or essentially any part of the plant that isn't a leaf) as many of them have been used for healing for eons. And wellness gurus now tout their benefits for healing leaky gut.Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes with PecansBy Jill PlaceYou can make these crunchy (due to the surprise of the cacao nibs), moist Paleo gems with the pecans on top as written. Or frost them with your favorite Paleo frosting. Either way, you'll have a hard time keeping them in the house!Paleo Chocolate No-Bake “Cheesecake”By Jill PlaceThis recipe is almost verbatim from Kelsey Ale's cookbook, Paleo Sweets, and is dairy- and gluten-free. I took it to my Qigong teacher's farewell practice (Boo Hoo ... she's moving to Portland) in the park near the Rose Bowl (yes, I live near there!). It was devoured! Can you guess what the filling is (besides the tons of chocolate)? Bet you can't ...Slow Cooker Pork RoastBy Jill PlaceI love, love LOVE Chinese barbecued pork. I will drive 30 miles for really good stuff at a restaurant. I love it so much I even make it myself. But it's a bit of a hassle, a tad drippy, ad I have to scrub my roasting rack of sticky goo afterwards. YUCK! So I was beyond happy when I found this simple recipe using my favorite kitchen utensil ... the crock pot.
