Baked Eggs
What you need:
Bacon or Ham (If your meat is raw, cook it thoroughly first)
Eggs
Salt and Pepper
Cupcake tin
Any other spices you like on your eggs
Pre-heat your oven to 325
Next, line your cups with the cooked bacon (or ham). I tore some of it up to put in the bottom
Next, crack one egg in to each cup
Sprinkle salt and peper
Place them in the oven for 10-12 min depending on how you like your eggs cooked
Watch them very closely, as to not over cook them
Run a knife around the bacon (or ham) and pop them out of the tin
Serve them hot with your favorite breakfast side dish
Enjoy!

Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
What you need:
Pork Tenderloin
1 Red Bell Pepper (or roasted red peppers in a jar)
1/2 small red onion
1 large handful of baby spinach
2 cloves of garlic
olive oil
salt and pepper
wooden skewers or kitchen twine
What to do:
Dice up the red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic
Then:
Heat up a few tbs. of olive oil in a pan and sauté the red pepper, red onion, and garlic;
add in some salt and pepper (just a dash of both)
Cook until the onions are translucent, then add in the spinach until wilted
Let cool completely
Next:
Preheat the oven to 375º
Take the pork tenderloin and cut down the middle (butterfly them) but do not cut all the way through
Then lay plastic wrap over them and take a meat tenderizer (the smooth side) and level the meat out so it is all the same thickness
Take the cooled mixture and spread throughout the middle, make sure not to over stuff them
Carefully thread the skewer through the meat to seal everything up
Place the tenderloin on a baking sheet and bake for 45 min or until a meat thermometer reads 170º
Slice and enjoy!

Paleo Sloppy Joes
My sloppy joes don't have sugar added and I don't use a bun, but trust me you won't be missing anything!! This dinner is so fast and easy! I made mine in under 15 minutes from start to finish
What you need:
Olive oil
Ground beef (I use 85% lean)
1 yelow onion
1 can of diced tomatoes
2 tbs of tomato paste
a few dashes of worcestershire sauce
Chili powder
Garlic powder
Coriander
Oregano
Oregano
Cumin
Salt and pepper
All-purpose seasoning (something like Mrs. Dash)
What to do:
Start by browning the meat in a pan on med-high heat
add in spices (I typically do not precisely measure the spices, just to desired taste) along with worcestershire sauce
When the meat is almost done cooking, add in the large diced onion, diced tomatoes and tomato paste
Simmer for 5 min.
Enjoy!
Sweet Potato Fries
Sweet Potato Fries pair perfectly with a burger, or in place of the normal non-paleo potato chips.
This recipe can be converted into a single portion or to feed a crowd
What you need:
3 sweet potatoes and or yams
olive oil
salt
Baking sheet
Optional:
Paprika
Garlic Powder
Chili Powder
Black Pepper
What to do:
Preheat the oven to 400º
Cut off the ends of the sweet potatoes/yams, then peel them with a knife or potato peeler
Very carefully (with a really sharp knife) cut the sweet potato/yam in 1/4 in. slices, then cut the slices in to 1/4 in. strips
Place on a baking sheet
Drizzle a few "glugs" of olive oil over the sweet potatoes/yams
sprinkle your chosen spices over the sweet potatoes/yams
Place in the oven for 10 min
After 10 min, toss them around and place back in the oven until done (adjusting the oven temperature if necessary)
Enjoy!

Taco Seasoning
At our house we have "taco tuesday"
I don't like buying taco seasoning from the store because it has a lot of junk added to it
so here is my version
This works for 2 lbs of taco meat (ground beef or ground turkey)
2 Tbs of chili powder
2 tsp of cumin
1 tsp of paprika
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1/2 tsp of dried oregano
1/2 tsp of sea salt
1/4 tsp of coriander
a few cracks of black pepper
a dash of cayenne pepper (omit this if you want a mild seasoning)
Enjoy!

Roasted Acorn Squash
What you will need:
1 Acorn squash
A few Tbs. of good quality maple syrup
2 Tbs. of grass fed butter or Ghee
Pinch of salt
What to do:
Preheat your oven to 400° F
Cut the acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds and goop
Score the inside of the squash a few times (so the butter and syrup can melt in to the squash)
Place both haves on to a baking sheet and add some water just to cove the bottom of the pan
Next:
Depending on how sweet you want you squash, drizzle a few Tbs. (or more) of maple syrup on to both sides of the squash and place one Tbs. of butter in each of the squash holes, then sprinkle one pinch of salt on to each of the halves
Place in the oven for about one hour, or until its golden brown and test consistency with fork
(the first time I made this, I sprinkled a little bit of cinnimon over it right after it came out of the oven. It tasted like pumpkin pie!)
Enjoy!
