Paleo breakfast meatloaf

A little paleo update for you all! 

Yesterday I made some yummy meat treats, which kinda sounds gross but they were delicious.

The first came from a recepie in my paleo book, it is an breakfast meatloaf. 

 Firstly you start with 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef or pork if you choose, blend it together with various herbs and spices. I used fresh garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. 

Next in your loaf pan line it with parchment paper and place a small amount of the meat in the bottom of The pan. 

I was only able to fit 5 hard boiled eggs in but you can choose however many you would like, but line then up in there. 

Next cover the eggs up with the rest of the meat.

Bake at 400 for 35 minutes, slice up and enjoy!!! 

Now I had some meat left over, so I decided to make some yummy paleo meatballs!

I used about a little over a pound of ground beef, again garlic, salt and pepper, also I added fresh green onion my favorite. Baked them at 400 for about 20 min or so. They are super good! 

Happy paleo cooking everyone!!!

Home Made Mozzarella Sticks

Home Made Mozzarella Sticks Have you ever just been minding your own business at home, all comfy in your PJs, and then all of a sudden you get that rumble in your tummy that only restaurant style mozzarella stick can satisfy?

 Ok, maybe it’s only me that this happens to, but if you are like me and you suffer from this as well, boy do I have a recipe for you! 

Once again found on pinterest at one point here is how to make some easy mozzarella sticks! 

Take Mozzarella cheese sticks and cut them all in half.

 Roll them in flour 

Then roll them in egg 

Next roll them in bread crumbs 

Put them in the freezer for about half an hour, this way the cheese won’t melt immediately when you fry them up! 

After freezing, fry them up in some cooking oil and enjoy!!

You may notice that the oil looked a little funny, which is because it was bacon grease. We had just made bacon and well being the fatty Americans that we are we figured hey why not?!

Not going to lie, they tasted like heaven, I think mostly because of the bacon grease.

Well enjoy!

Pumpkin muffins and potato wedges!

My father recently had hernia surgery, so on Friday I went down to my parents to spend the day with him keeping him company. While I was there my sister told me to make healthy muffins and supplied me with pumpkin, organic honey, and coconut oil. I went immediately to my trusty ole Pinterest to see what I could find and created these yummy treats! 

 I used the recepie from this lovely blog http://www.hungryhealthygirl.com/2012/10/16/thebesthealthypumpkinmuffins/

Made with whole wheat flour they are pretty solid and heavy but still pretty dang yummy!!

Later that night I helped my mother with dinner, found another awesome recepie on Pinterest for potato wedges from this blog

They were super tastey! And went well with the burgers my mom made 

Well that's all for now! Happy baking/cooking!!!

Spaghetti Pie

I wanted to share an old family recipe with all of you! 

 And when I say old family recipe, I really mean we ate this almost every week growing up and it is still a quick easy staple for my family. 

 As you may have guessed it’s called spaghetti pie! This dish is very similar to lasagna, but way easier/quicker to make, and it’s from a weight watchers recipe so you could say it’s even better for you!

You need… 2 cups cooked spaghetti 

 1 oz. grated parmesan cheese 

 1 egg beaten 

 1 tablespoon margarine 

 1 jar spaghetti sauce 

 1 container of Ricotta cheese 

 Some mozzarella cheese 

 Mix in a large bowl together the Spaghetti, Parmesan cheese, Egg, and Margarine. Spread into a pre-greased glass pan. Scoop Ricotta in big spoonful’s over the mix, covering the whole thing. Pour the Spaghetti sauce over the top. (I add cooked ground beef to my sauce; you can add anything you want, meat, veggies or whatever!) Bake at 350 for 20 min, top with mozzarella cheese and bake for another 15 min. Take out of oven, let sit for 10-15 min and enjoy! 

 I like to let mine sit for a bit so it stays together, when it’s hot it tends to fall apart, so if you want it to look presentable on your plate before you devour it, let it sit. 

 Well there you have it! Happy cooking everyone!
