Paleo Spaghetti Soup

I was craving Spaghetti, but of course cannot have that being low carb/ paleo.  So I thought I'd just make a basic spaghetti meat sauce and it turned out really great!  Here is my recipe:

2 lbs of grass fed ground beef
1 chopped onion
1 small chopped bell pepper
4 chopped cloves of garlic
3 (8oz) cans of tomato sauce
1 can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup Ideal
1/4 cup butter
2 tspns dried oregano
1/4 TBL dried basil
salt & pepper to taste

Brown the ground beef in a deep skillet along with onion and bell pepper and garlic.  Once the meat has browned, add in all other ingredients, bring to a boil and then put on low for about an hour.  YUM!

Sorry...again no picture.

Hannah's Favorite Paleo Stew

I threw this in the crock pot the other day so I'd have a pile of food to feed my kids and their friends.  I'll try to remember the amounts I used, but most of it was just winging it.  Hannah LOVED this stew and even ate it as left overs the next day!

2 lbs of chili meat
1 large onion
1 small green bell pepper
5 cloves of garlic
1 quart of beef broth
1 bag mixed veggies (brocoli, cauliflower & carrots)
salt and pepper to taste
1 TBL onion flakes
2 TBL garlic powder
1 TBL chili powder

Brown the meat on high heat along with onions.  Don't fully cook the meat, just brown the outside.  Dump all the meat and onions into the crock pot along with the grease.  Add the bell pepper, garlic, broth, frozen veggies and all the spices.  Turn it on low and cook for 5 or so hours.  YUM!!

AWESOME Paleo Biscuits

I found a declicious Paleo Biscuit recipe yesterday.  Thank you Pinterest!  I made them last night and tested one out straight from the oven with some fresh melted butter (I know, not Paleo) and it was heavenly!  Once they cooled I put the rest in the fridge and warmed one up for breakfast this morning and it was just as good!  I found the recipe on http://paleorecipespaleomeal.blogspot.com/2012/08/paleo-biscuit-recipe.html
