Paleo Crockpot Apple-Banana Sauce

I like applesauce. I don’t like all the crap in store-bought applesauce. I also had way too many “too ripe to eat” apples sitting around and can’t let things go to waste, so I decided to try a version of crockpot applesauce. I scoured all sorts of paleo/non-paleo recipes and then just decided to wing it with my take on the idea. The bananas were totally random (also have a few “too ripe bananas”) and I crossed my fingers it would be good (FYI, they remained on top of the apples, a little shrunk up, and totally brown until blended-don’t be dismayed by their gross look).

It turned out fabulous and I can’t believe how easy it was. Never thought I’d say, “I licked the immersion blender,” ha. Saved lots of fruit from going to waste 🙂

And now, I imagine marinating some meat in it.

Paleo Crockpot Apple-Banana Sauce

  • 8 apples, peeled and slice (I had honeycrisp and pink lady)
  • 2 bananas
  • 1 1/2 C hot water
  • 1 TBSP Bourbon Vanilla
  • 1/4 C organic, raw maple sugar
  • 1 TBSP Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Allspice
  • Generous grinding of sea salt

Add everything to the crockpot, turn up high to bring to a boil then turn down and let simmer. I let mine simmer overnight on low. Use immersion blender to blend, right in the crockpot. Made about 10 cups. Enjoy!

Garlic Charred Broccoli

I’ve been craving broccoli. It upsets my stomach, but I eat it anyway because IT’S SO GOOD.

I bought two bags of organic broccoli from Trader Joe’s, dumped it all on a foil lined baking sheet, drizzled olive oil over it (very little), sprinkled with fresh ground sea salt and black pepper, and garlic powder. Roasted at 400 degrees until it started to char. Slightly crunchy, super flavorful and delicious!photo 1 (24) photo 2 (25) photo 3 (14)

My new favorite salad, full of flavor and health. One of my favorite things is a cold refreshing salad with light ingredients, and adding something steaming to it.

Avocado Kimchi Salad

  • Butter lettuce
  • 2 sliced avocados
  • 1/2 cup kimchi
  • 3 scrambled eggs (in grassfed butter)

Voila.

Amazeballs!

Apple Egg Scramble

I always buy too many apples. Always. I also don’t let food go to waste, therefore, I end up with lots of soft apples. They’re great for cooking, baking and sometimes even salads.

Apple Egg Scramble

  • 1 soft apple, diced into small pieces
  • Diced red onion
  • Handful of fresh basil, chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • Blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 TBSP ghee
  • Ground black pepper
  • Truffle salt

Start by melting 1 TBSP of ghee in a pan, and add the red onion. Saute until they begin to turn transparent. Add the chopped basil and 3 eggs and continue scrambling until eggs are almost cooked. Toss the diced apple in, stirring until it’s warm, but stays crunchy. Top with blue cheese crumbles and a sprinkle of truffle salt.

Don’t worry soft apple, I still love you.

Pig Candy!

The best holiday finger food ever. Or just the best year-round finger food ever. It’s always the first thing 100% gone, guaranteed.

Pig Candy

  • 1 package uncured bacon
  • Coconut sugar
  • Cayenne pepper

Mix coconut sugar and cayenne pepper (we don’t measure, so more = spicier, obvi) in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Coat both sides of each slice of bacon in the mixture, and lay flat on an aluminum foil covered cookie sheet. Bake in the oven at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and use a fork to roll-up and stick with a toothpick, ta-da! You must roll-up the bacon promptly after being removed from the over, or else it will adhere itself to the foil, and that’s sad.

When Seth first learned of this, we used regular brown refined sugar, but we changed our sugar to be more paleo-friendly (still, we rarely eat any sugar anymore). We always take it to parties, and it is always the first thing to disappear, and we usually make double batches 🙂photo 1 (18)photo 2 (19)
