Jalapeño Popper Pork Loin

This dish is decadent and rich and oh, so yummy! I make this for a regular, old Wednesday night, but it would be perfect for a special occasion meal or a family, holiday get-together. The red bacon and green jalapeños do have a certain Christmasy-ness …

Paleo “Corn” Bread

With fall in the air and Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s time to think about cornbread. Cornbread is delicious alongside a steaming bowl of chili and it’s an essential ingredient in the very best Thanksgiving dressing recipe – coming at you soon!

Thanks to some flax seeds and a screaming hot cast iron skillet, we can have the most delicious cornbread, minus the corn and gluten and dairy.

Smothered with some ghee and dripping with honey, this cornbread even makes a delicious breakfast….mmmmm….make this!

P.S. If you want more delicious paleo holiday recipes, you can find them in my holiday cookbook here.

So you can see with your very own eyes just how delicious this cornbread is, I’ve made you a little video. I’m sorry your mouth has now watered all over your computer.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp. ghee or grass-fed butter
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 Tbsp. coconut flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup palm shortening melted
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup almond milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add ghee to a 9 inch cast iron skillet and put the pan in the oven to heat.
  • While the skillet and oven heat, make the batter by combining all the dry ingredients in one bowl (almond flour, flaxseed meal, arrowroot, salt, baking soda and coconut flour) and all the wet ingredients in another bowl (eggs, shortening, honey and almond milk).
  • Mix the dry ingredients well and mix the wet ingredients well. Now add the wet to the dry and mix to combine. Don't over work the batter, just get it all combined. A rubber spatula works well for this.
  • Remove skillet from oven, swirl to make sure the melted ghee is coating the entire bottom and sides of the skillet. Remember that it is hot! Put a pot holder over the handle so you don't accidentally touch it. Pour the batter into the pan, being careful not to splatter the melted ghee. Spread the batter evenly.
  • Bake 23-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just one or two crumbs attached. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into desired pieces.

Paleo Bread

Ok, where to begin. For years, I have tried to make a really good gluten free bread without success. I never even tried to make paleo bread because I figured it just wasn’t possible. Well, shame on me, because it was possible and I’ve finally done it. …
