BBQ Beef Brisket on Paleo bread and Broccoli slaw


We roasted the brisket in the oven (4 hours at 300F), but in the past AND in the future we'd do 8-9 hours in the slow cooker. It was still good though. Topped with spices like pepper, paprika, sea salt, garlic.
Placed atop coconut flour bread and drizzled with BBQ sauce.
Slaw: buy broc slaw mix in market, add 1/4 cup dried fruit (we used cranberries) and 1/4 cup chopped nuts, we used a mix of almonds (mostly almonds), walnuts and pistachios. Mix with dressing - either Paleo mayo (1 egg plus copious amounts of oil blended to thicken) or your favorite cole slaw dressing.

Easy dinner with little prep.
Enjoy!

Poached Egg & Bacon-Wrapped Fillet Mignon on a Sweet Potato Pancake


Still inspired by my trip to IKEA (i.e. Swedish cuisine-ish), I thought I'd try to change up my breakfast. I have to admit, this turned out really good and was not nearly as difficult or time-consuming as I thought it was going to be. 

Let's start from the bottom and work our way up. 

Paleo Sweet Potato Pancake: Mix almond and walnut meal with the meat (no skin) of 1 small cooked sweet potato, and 2 eggs. Mix until lit forms a batter. Spoon batter onto hot skillet. Makes 4 small or 3 relatively large sweet potato pancakes. 

Bacon-wrapped Fillet Mignon: OK, I cheated here. The supermarket had a sale on Fillets so I bought a few extra and grilled them up for dinner a few nights ago. This was a leftover. :-) However, it could be pan grilled or grilled in about 10 minutes (medium rare), 5 minutes per side. 
Poached Egg: Bring a small pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat so it's just on the verge of boiling. Add a dash of salt and a few drops of vinegar. Crack egg into a ramekin and then pour into water or crack directly into the water. Allow to cook for about 4-6 minutes, depending on the size of the egg. 

To serve place the fillet on top of the pancake and place the egg on top of the fillet. Pierce the yolk just a little so that some runs down on the fillet and pancake and then add a few chopped spring onions. 

Delicious new breakfast!

Enjoy!
