My Paleo Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I've been craving for my Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies for so long a time now since I decided to try the Paleo diet. And for this reason I have attempted to try several recipes from the net that are considered Paleo friendly. But then again, I still cannot get that specific taste that I miss from the chocolate chip cookies that we are familiar with.

    My favorite recipe before was the one I got from Better Homes and Gardens and since then I've been using that recipe at home, in my defunct internet cafe and gifts for my loved ones. Everybody craved for my cookies and they were sold like hotcakes. But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end (but better things are yet to come).

   Until I stumbled on this and voila! I tweaked a little and here goes..

A combination of imported and local ingredients 
    Most of these ingredients I bought at Healthy Option and the locally produced ones, like the dark chocolate and honey, are from nearby supermarkets. The butter is imported from France, not grass fed though, you can cheat sometimes lol. Or you can use coconut oil for a healthier cookie.





    With this silicone baking mat, cookies always bake so perfectly. This is the advantage of having a sister with whom I share the same passion for baking. Whatever she discovers, she shares with me. This mat is a gift from her, thank you, Lelet :)


    


    This is how my cookies look when baked. I baked this batch for more than 11 minutes (around 13 minutes) because I want the cookies crispier but still chewy inside. Go try this recipe and you be the judge :)



Paleo Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
2 c. almond flour
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/3 c. butter, melted
1/4 c. honey
2 tsps. vanilla

For the chocolate chip cookies: 1 bar (38 gms) dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
For the cinnamon-raisin cookies: 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and 2 T. chopped raisins

Procedure:
Preheat oven to 350 deg F.
Mix the dry ingredients, almond flour, salt and baking soda. 
Add in the melted butter, honey and vanilla.
Mix just until no trace of flour is seen.
Divide the batter into 2.
Add the chopped chocolate to the first half of batter and mix lightly.
To the second half, add in the cinnamon and raisins.

Drop by tablespoon on silicone lined baking sheet.
Bake for 11 minutes, if you want chewy or 13 minutes, if you want 
crispy but chewy inside, or 15 minutes, if you want crispy all throughout.

    The meaning of this is that you literally kill fat by consuming coconut fat (including coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).

Healthy Paleo Chicken Recipe

Image
    Second day of Paleo and I'm again excited as to what to cook for lunch. Found these chicken thighs in the freezer and started to look for a recipe for chicken in this awesome cookbook, Everyday Paleo.     I found this recipe, Chicken with Mushroom Basil Cream Sauce and was glad to see that all the ingredients are available in my pantry. Tommy and I love this so much Chicken with Mushroom Basil Cream Sauce     I remember cooking this similar dish using cream of mushroom soup then, but we all know that cream soups are not paleo. Thanks to Sarah Fragoso for sharing this recipe, I will definitely include this on my everyday menu. I served this with plain lettuce and I would say that that was a very satisfying meal. CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM BASIL CREAM SAUCE 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts ( I used thighs, bone-in) sea salt and black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons coconut oil 2 tablespoon chicken broth (recipe here ) 2 cups sliced mushrooms 1

Pork Binagoongan with Ampalaya

Image
    One of the dishes I always have in mind when I have bagoong (fermented small shrimp) on hand is Pork Binagoongan. My mom always cook bagoong whenever we visit her for us to bring home. We love her bagoong so much that it takes only a few weeks to finish a big jar. We serve it side by side with Karekare, we use it as dip for steamed vegetables, use it to season Pinakbet and other Sauteed mixed vegetables and as dip for Manggang Hilaw (unripe mangoes). The list goes on and on...     Today, I'm sharing the recipe for Pork Binagoongan with Ampalaya and I'm using the last morsel of bagoong from the jar.   Pork Binagoongan With Ampalaya Pork Binagoongan with Ampalaya Half a kilo of pork belly strips, sliced Water enough to cover belly 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium sized onion, sliced 3 Tbsp. bagoong 1 medium size ampalaya, sliced into 1/2" thick 4 pcs. finger chili, sliced into 3 Place pork belly in a wok and add enough water to cover pork.

Cream Dory Paleo Piccata

Image
Cream Dory Paleo Piccata     Piccata is a method of preparing food: meat is sliced, coated, sauteed and served in a sauce . The dish originated in Italy using veal (veal piccata). In the United States, the most well-known variant is chicken piccata. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccata     I don't have veal and  I don't have chicken, all I have is cream dory. Found this recipe in my very prized possession for 2013, Everyday Paleo cookbook, and excitedly tried it. Tweaked a little and with a few mistakes, it tasted oh so yummy. My helper in the kitchen directly fried the fish fillet which I seasoned with salt and pepper but I haven't coated it yet with anything. I immediately sprinkled coco flour on the fish but still she had a hard time turning the fish. Next time I will coat the fish with beaten egg and coco flour.     Here's the recipe: Cream Dory Paleo Piccata 2 pcs. cream dory 1 tbsp. coconut flour  1 egg, slightly beaten 1 tbsp. coconut oil
