Fig Newtons, Grain and Sugar Free

Ingredients

COOKIE
6 cups blanched almond flour
2/3 cup coconut oil, melted
6 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup steviva blend

FILLING
2 cups dried figs (or one 283 gram package)
1/2 cup grape juice
1 tbsp steviva blend

Directions

Combine filling ingredients and allow to soak for at least one hour (preferably several hours). Run through a blender or food processor and puree.

Combine all cookie ingredients. Line a 12 x 17" rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper. Evenly spread 1/2 of cookie dough on sheet. (I used a butter knife and spread it like peanut butter on bread)
Chill the pan in the freezer until some what firm. 20 minutes or so...
Spread fig filling over the cookie dough. Freeze until very firm. At least an hour.
Spread remaining cookie dough over the filling. Butter knife method seemed to work best.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 35 - 40 minutes. Cool and cut into squares. Will freeze fairly well, but you will want to seperate layers with waxed paper.

Makes 64 cookies.

Primal French Toast

So Yummy!!!
I've had this two days in a row now for lunch. tee hee

Ingredients

2 slices Paleo Zucchini bread or Paleo Bread  (elanaspantry.com has a wicked paleo bread recipe)
1-2 eggs
dash cinnamon
1/2 tbsp coconut ghee for frying
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup blackberries
Ali All Natural Syrup (I used boysenberry)



Directions

Heat skillet and melt the coconut ghee. Whisk eggs with cinnamon and coat your sliced bread in it. I like to let it soak up the egg a little bit, but be careful cause this bread is more fragile than that stuff from the grocery store.
Cook both sides until lightly browned. Serve with Greek yogurt, topped with berries and a bit of stevia sweetened syrup (optional). Could add some walnuts too! Yum!

Primal Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Pizza

OOOOO! Yum!

Here's the link for the crust recipe:

http://fitchickshealthylifestyleblog.blogspot.ca/2010/07/cauliflower-pizza-crust.html


For the toppings I added:

1 slice nitrate free bacon, diced
150 grams diced, chicken breast
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1//4 cup tomato sauce
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, grated (30 grams)
1 tbsp yogurt based ranch dressing


I preheated the broiler. Then cooked the bacon in a skillet. Added the chicken. When the meat was cooked through I added the spinach until it had wilted.
Then I assembled the pizza. First the sauce, then the meat mixture. Topped with the tomatoes and cheese.
I put this under the broiler until it was nicely browned. 10 minutes maybe?
Then I drizzled with the ranch dressing.
