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.

Paleo Tuna Spaghetti with Pansit-pansitan

    I was glad to see my plants growing abundantly in my garden after more than two weeks of not seeing them. Thank God for my household help who tended my garden while I was away. cuban oregano pansit-pansitan basil, my poor basil, leaves were eaten by insects     I decided to try making spaghetti using carrots as pasta (Erich taught me this idea) so I can make use of these plants. Paleo Tuna Spaghetti with Pansit-pansitan     I have not cooked spaghetti since I turned Paleo and Tommy's eyes brightened when he saw what I was serving him. Spaghetti was his favorite and still is. I didn't tell him it was carrots, I just let him eat. He liked it! He consumed half of it, I ate one-fourth, the remaining we will bring to my kids for them to taste.  We will be going there in their apartment in a few hours.     I would love to share the recipe:) Paleo Tuna Spaghetti with Pansit-pansitan 2 big carrots, julliened enough olive oil to fry the carrots (I

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
