Paleo Chicken Pot Pie

I have been using Simply Living Healthy's perfect paleo biscuit recipe quite often and used it for my personal paleo chicken pot pie recipe. This is very yummy!


Ingredients:
1 Perfect Paleo Biscuit dough recipe
4 egg yolks (of the 6 remaining from the biscuit recipe; adding the rest will simply make it taste more like a quiche)
1 can coconut milk, full fat (separate water to use elsewhere)
4 Tbs butter (1/2 cube)
1/2 golden onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 celery stalks, sliced
1 1/2 cups broccoli
1/3 cup bacon, diced
2 Tbs almond meal
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
Sea salt, garlic salt, pepper as desired
 (feel free to add any other veggies that sound yummy...this is all I had at the time)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F. Grease loaf pan with butter. Squish half the biscuit dough into the pan.

Whip coconut milk in mixer to thicken. As coconut milk thickens, saute onions and garlic in 1 Tbs butter over medium heat. Add veggies to saute pan (I steamed mine first just to speed things up). Add onion/veggie mixture to coconut milk, stir. Add in almond flour, bacon, egg yolks and remaining butter. Stir in chicken. Season with sea salt, garlic salt and pepper. Pour over biscuit dough in pan.

Flatten remaining biscuit dough over chicken mixture. Bake for 20-30 minutes.

Enjoy!

Paleo Baby "Num-Nums"

I've looked everywhere for a cracker-type snack for my little one to eat when we're on the go. He loves meats, veggies and fruits, but they are a little more difficult to travel with since they need to be refrigerated. Also, I'm a little leery of giving him too many dehydrated fruits. I have inspected the ingredient panel of almost every box of snackies and have found the leading ingredients to be rice, corn or wheat flour. So, I set out to make some using coconut flour instead.


Ingredients:
2 Tbs coconut flour
4-5 Tbs sweet potato puree
1 Tbs bacon fat

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. Grease baking sheet with bacon fat.
Measure out coconut flour into mixing bowl. Melt bacon fat in saucepan over low heat, add in sweet potato. Once combined, add mixture to coconut flour. Stir until dough forms. 
Press dough into greased baking sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes depending on desired thickness of crackers.

Cut crackers into desired length or crumble into bite-size pieces.

These taste great and dissolve quickly!
