Taco Sauce
powderCombine ingredients together in a pot and heat on low until it begins to bubble and is thoroughly incorporated. Serve on tacos, nachos, Mexican pizzas or whatever you wish 🙂
Don’t you love those days when you haven’t made it to the grocery store yet and your inventory is running kinda low. You go to the pantry to see what you have the ingredients to make and of course you need 1-2 more ingredients to make ANYTHING that you normally fix. Although, some may see this as a perfect excuse to get creative and wing it. For some reason *cough cough*, this happens to us a lot (ok, the real reason is ….I hate strongly dislike grocery shopping)
BBQ Bean Chili (no, it isn’t your imagination, you DO see the word BBQ on my blog a lot)
For frying beef:
Add all above ingredients to a deep skillet or other large pot and cook on medium heat until meat is thoroughly cooked, lightly drain and return to skillet or pot. (if you aren’t eating clean grass fed meat, drain completely)
For the rest:
Add second list of ingredients, stir until combined, cover and simmer on low for 1 hour stirring occasionally
serves 4-5
This recipe I used to make years ago. I came across the recipe recently and decided to give it a try using organic ingredients instead of *cough* what I used to make it with. Here is what I did and it turned out quite nicely, definitely a repeater.
Spicey Southern BBQ Chicken
Place chicken in a 9×13, then place onion slices over top of the chicken. In separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and stir well. Pour mixture over chicken and bake at 350 for 1 hour or until cooked thoroughly, basting with mixture occasionally.
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
)
Combine all ingredients (excluding chicken and noodles) in crock pot and turn on high while you cook your chicken. While chicken is cooling, prepare your noodles. Add chicken, broth and noodles to crock pot and cook on high for approx. 2 hours or until flavors are well incorporated and veggies are tender.
I now have a new favorite dip. I call it Salsaguac (Salsa + Guacamole – amole….). I am sure someone else already makes this and calls it something more sophisticated. As usual, I use all organic ingredients for this recipe.
Salsaguac
while I am working on perfecting my own)Cut, Pit and Peel your avocados, then mash them as well as you can until fairly smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients. Serve with tortilla or pita chips or whatever else you like. Store in refrigerator.
I eat wheat (organic, mill it myself). I drink dairy (raw from grass-fed). Why am I posting a paleo recipe? Well one reason is, I have lots of friends who are either on a paleo diet, primal diet, gluten free diet, GAPS diet etc and I like to provide options for all. The other reason is, when I am not eating something with my milled wheat, I prefer it to have no wheat and paleo recipes work perfect! I am sure I have before and will again post recipes that are geared for a specific lifestyle not just general organic etc. I would like to start making note of these in the title for easier navigation for those of us with specific eating requirements. Enjoy this oh so delicious recipe for all to enjoy!

Add the reserved cup of chicken broth, apple juice, cabbage, tomatoes, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper.

Cook on low to med-low for approx 1 hour until cabbage is tender.
