It Feels Good to be Back


After a long hiatus, I've decided to start the blog up again. I think it's a really great way to share recipes and paleo cooking ideas and also keep me on the right track. I'll probably keep the format a little looser and not necessarily log everything I eat EVERY day, like I was before. We'll see how it evolves...
Sunday Night Dinner (pictured above)
Grilled chicken:
Marinated in rosemary and olive oil. Grilled slowly over low heat and finished with fresh lemon juice - delicious!
"BBQ" Cabbage (adapted from a recipe by the Neelys on FoodNetwork):
Ingredients:
1 head red cabbage, chopped
3-4 strips bacon* chopped
1 red onion, sliced
2-3 Granny Smith apples (depending on size), peeled, de-cored and sliced
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper
Directions:
Heat bacon over medium heat to render the fat. Do NOT allow it to get crispy. Add the apples and red onion with a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue cooking until soft. Add the cabbage and cook for approximately 5 minutes before adding in the chicken broth and vinegar. Again, add a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat for 45 minutes. Enjoy!
Note*: The original recipe calls for BBQ sauce, which is omitted here. Because of this it's really important to use good quality bacon. We found good quality bacon ends at Treasure Island for cheap. Make sure that whatever you use is thick and smoky. No turkey bacon here!
