Curried Bok Choy and Kale / Baked Cod

Heat up some coconut oil and curry paste.  (Red curry paste from Mae Ploy.  So good.)

Add an onion, saute until it seems ready.

Add a few big handfuls of kale and baby bok choy with the ends cut off.

Saute until wilted.

Add 1/2 can (or more) of coconut milk.  Stir, enjoy!


Easy baked cod:
Using frozen cod fillets from Costco:
Squeeze on lemon juice.  Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika on them.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Easy and delicious.

Vegetarian Chile Verde

Not Paleo, BTW, it has lentils in it.

We were having Chile Verde day here at work, so I thought I'd give a try at a Vegetarian version for the meat-averse.  I got the basic from a Giada de Laurentiis recipe.  I think it turned out really well.  The lentils added a lot of thickness to the texture.

In a large saucepan, saute the following in olive oil:
2 med. onions
1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped
couple cloves garlic.

Saute for 10-15 minutes, stir frequently to prevent burning.

Add:
Couple shakes of salt, pepper, and cumin.
2 -12 oz.jars of verde salsa (I used a brand from Smith's marketplace that had good ingredients).
I also added about 2 cups of water (or broth).
Bring to a simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Add 1 cup lentils, make sure there is plenty of liquid as the lentils will absorb it.

Simmer another 20 minutes or until the lentils are done.

I was thinking of using this base, adding chicken, and dehydrating for a backpacking meal.

Sausage, Spinach, Cauliflower (Fewer Eggs) Bake

Got this recipe idea from The Prime Pursuit and made a few additions/omissions.

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 package pre-made sausage, chopped (Or make your own.  1 lb.)
5 cups-ish spinach
4 eggs.

Rice the cauliflower.  And do it with this method, from Big Red Kitchen.  (In a blender with water, then strain.  Super, super easy.  Way better results and much faster than anything else I've tried.)

Melt some coconut oil in a pan, and saute the cauliflower bits until they are browned.  Remove
Cook the sausage in the same pan. Remove
Cook the zucchini and spinach (until the spinach wilts) in the same pan.  Remove, squeeze water out.

Combine all ingredients in a baking dish along with 4 eggs.

Cook at 350 for 45 minutes.

Super good!

Cabbage - Beef Casserole

Got this one from Health-Bent.  It's important to read how long it takes when you're planning on eating it for dinner....starting at 8:40 pm is not a good idea.

But it's delicious:
Brown 1 lb. ground beef with some garlic powder, onion flakes, smoked paprika, dash of cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
Meanwhile, boil 3/4 head of thinly sliced cabbage (green) in some salted water for about 10 minutes.  Drain.

Open a 29 oz. can of crushed tomatoes (or diced, or....I used Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes.)

In a big casserole dish, layer: cabbage, meat, tomatoes until it's all in.

Bake at 350 F for 1.5 hours.  Let rest 30 minute before digging in.
