Paleo Homemade Guacamole

Kerrie Bross

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes, preferably organic
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt, to taste
  • 1 Tbs finely diced onion
  • 1/2 Tbs fresh squeezed lime juice or organic lime juice

Directions:

1. Cut avocados the long way, remove the seed and scoop out the green goodness. Use a fork or potato masher until desired consistency is acheived.

2. Add the finely chopped onion. Dried organic onion (1/2 TBS reconstituted) can be used for those who don’t really like fresh raw onion.

3. Add salt, and lime juice to the guacamole. Stir well and adjust salt if needed. Add tomatoes and serve immediately.

Pro tip to keeping the top from browning if you are not eating right away: put the homemade guacamole in as small a container as possible – you want as little as possible open to the air. Slowly, gently add water so it sits on top and completely covers the guacamole with roughly 1/4 inch of water. When you want to eat it, pour the water off and stir.

Keto Bean Salad

Kerrie Bross


Ingredients:

5 15 oz (ish) cans of organic beans – green beans, wax beans, kidney beans, black beans, garbanzo beans, etc. – pick your faves!
Juice of one lemon or 4-5 Tbs organic lemon juice
3/4 cup organic vinegar of choice – I’ve used apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar and balsamic.
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/2 tsp mustard powder
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2Tbs onion, finely chopped
1 Tbs maple syrup
1/4 tsp monk fruit powder
Reserved juice from canned green or wax beans or water

Directions:

1. Put all but the last ingredient into a large bowl.

2. Add water or reserved juice to taste. I use 2 – 3 cups of water or bean juice when I make this. Yes, the juice completely covers the beans so they marinate in it.You can eat it right away, but it is best after it marinates at least a few hours.

Tip: Once all the beans are gone I add more cans of beans to the marinade for a quick second batch when the first is finished!

Best Gluten Free Naan Recipe

Kerrie Bross

I recommend making a double batch! I always go through these quickly and want more!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups organic almond flour
3/4 cup organic casava flour
1/2 cup organic arrowroot flour
1 cup organic coconut milk
1 Tbs raw apple cider vinegar
1/4 – 1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 – 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder (optional)

Directions

  1. Get a griddle or frying pan warming up with melted real butter, ghee or coconut oil. I use an electric griddle at 300°.
  2. Put all dry goods in a large mixing bowl. I tried this recipe with garlic and fresh ginger, too! Those are also good.
  3. Add theapple cider vinegar and coconut milk, and stir well. Add water until it is a think pancake batter consistency. You don’t want them runny. They are a bit like pancakes, but not really.
  4. Once the pan is hot and the butter is melted, drop scant 1/4 cup amounts on the griddle and spread them around a bit so they aren’t too thick. Then basically cook them like pancakes. I like them a bit crispy, so I let them brown a little in the butter. Yum! I get 8 – 10 out of a batch. They reheat easily in the toaster oven or air fryer. Since it was just me eating them, I froze half until I needed more.

Paleo Asian Ginger Salmon

Kerrie Bross

Ingredients:

  • about 1 1/2 lb wild-caught salmon, sockeye salmon is my favorite
  • 1 1/2 Tbs organic coconut aminos
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp organic ginger powder
  • 1/8 tsp Pure Monk monkfruit powder
  • 1 Tbs olive oil

Directions:

  1. Add all marinade ingredients to a leak proof container and shake to mix well.
  2. Pour the marinade over the salmon and let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Longer is great! I accidentally marinated some for a couple days – it was sooo good!
  3. Remove from refrigerator 15 to 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it to cook evenly.
  4. Bake or grill until the salmon is cooked, about four to six minutes per 1/2 inch of fish.

Serving Suggestions:

I like it with brown rice or riced cauliflower and salad. Leftovers are great for lunch on salad!
