A Few Favorites

Hey All,
I wanted to share a few of my favorite Paleo recipes.  These recipes are all tried, tested and true to their deliciousness :).   

1. This "cream" has been amazingly good.  I've already made two big batches thus far!  I use it in my coffee.  Black coffee is pretty good; but I really enjoy cream in my coffee.  This concoction is a very close second to cream.  I also suggest using it as a treat with frozen berries.  Thank you Ann for recommending this! 
2. Ok Folks, this chili is incredible.  Josh even said it may be his favorite chili of all time.  You've got to try it out.  I got this recipe from a friend.                                                                                                         Paleo Chili
   Ingredients:
   6 slices of uncooked bacon, cut into small pieces
   2 celery ribs, chopped

   - Remove meat from skillet and mix with bacon pieces in stock pot. add cooked vegetables, tomatoes, sauce, and spices.
   -simmer for a few hrs. Then top with bacon crumbles 
3. Try this chicken marinade tonight.  You'll be happy you did.  It is so flavorful!  It's found under the title "grilled chicken".  It was another recipe Josh claimed to be his "all time favorite" for marinades.

One last favorite I'll leave you with.  Have you tried coconut milk smoothies before?  Oh goodness, they are good!  I just whipped two up this morning for our breakfast.  They are so easy too.  Here's what I did... 

I put all of these ingredients in the blender:

one can of coconut milk

frozen mangos

frozen strawberries

one ripe banana

frozen pineapple

a splash of orange juice

*You can add any type of frozen fruit.  We've even added spinach to make it a "green monster" smoothie.  The possibilities are endless :).
