Learn something new every week: Paelo awesomeness


It is hard to pick the best things I learned this week, but here goes.

We've gone paleo.  We are trying it for a month and seeing how we feel.  I'll be honest though, once you do it, I don't know that you can ever go back.......

I've learned two amazing paleo recipes that I want to share with you.  Seriously life changing stuff here.  Life changing in that even my two year old eats them no problemo. 

First off is paleo pancakes.  Eggs, bananas, almond butter, voila.  Yup, that's it.  The almond butter is even optional.  Okay, I'll make it a little more formal.

 
Easy Paleo Pancakes
 

2 Bananas
2 Eggs
1 spoonful of almond butter (optional)
 
Mash up the bananas, add the eggs and almond butter.  Stir up.
Melt coconut oil (or butter if you're not doing paleo) in a pan and cook these like regular pancakes.  Only difference is you won't be looking for "bubbles" like regular pancakes, just keep checking them for the right consistency to successfully flip.  This will feed 2- 3 people.
 
 
There you have it.  Kids eat them right up.  Want a little something special? 
Drizzle some honey on top.
 
 
Next up, Cauliflower Rice!
 
Rice is not on the paleo plate, but this is an awesome replacement.
 
 
Cauliflower Rice
 
1 head of cauliflower
Garlic
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
 
Cut off cauliflower florets, microwave for 4 minutes.  Put the cauliflower through a processor or blender.  Saute some garlic in olive oil and add the cauliflower.  Saute for about 7-8 minutes.  Add sea salt.
Serve like rice!  Feeds 3-4.
 
 
Really, how much cooler could these get?!
 
 
Also, did you know Brussels Sprouts came like this?
 
 
I had no idea....
