Do You Even Paleo?

4 Ingredient Paleo “Peanut Butter” Fudge

March 20, 2015May 17, 2018 Chelsea 10 Comments

Hey everyone! It’s the first freaking day of Spring and I’m back at it, sharing another incredibly easy recipe with you. 4 Ingredient Paleo “Peanut Butter” Fudge! It’s easy, uses ingredients you probably already have (or at least have easy access to), and tastes fantastic!

I feel like I’ve just been killing it in the kitchen lately. I mean, the majority of my meals are still crazy simple and mundane, but I have a slew of new recipes to share with y’all and I’m really excited about that. I’ve already shared a few! I don’t know if you’ve noticed the pattern, but I share one recipe a week. I have a pretty safe back-log so I can continue to post when life is stressful or I’m struggling with recipe inspiration.

Eventually, when I finally get myself to post more than just recipes, I’ll probably post one recipe and one non-food post a week. Or something like that. I just don’t like feeling chained to a schedule, so I’m not making a post schedule at this point in time. Deal with it.

Spicy Pork Tongue Tacos with Cilantro Avocado Creme

“Pork tongue” tacos may not sound all that appetizing to you. I get that. Kind of. Don’t be afraid, though. Shredded tongue is the BOMB. Trust me!

I made these tacos to fill a void in my life. You see, there’s this small taco and burrito shop called Romo’s in Fargo that my partner and I frequent. Now, having never been to Mexico or certain other southern states, I can’t really say I’ve ever had authentic Mexican…however, my partner claims that this taco shop has the best and most authentic Mexican meat in town. We actually prefer this place over Chipotle, which just opened in Fargo – it’s cheaper, we get more food, and it tastes phenomenal.

When we first went to Romo’s, I spotted beef tongue on the menu and knew I had to try it. I love being adventurous in regards to food. (If only I could apply that zeal to other parts of my life. Ah, well.)

So anyway, I tried the shredded beef tongue and absolutely fell in love. Salty, spicy, not dry at all…oh man, I still have dreams about this stuff. For a few weeks, we frequented Romo’s and I got the beef tongue every time.

Bacon-wrapped asparagus is so incredibly simple that it’s almost a scandal to call it a recipe. But here it is.

This side dish is an instant crowd-pleaser — it’s not only easy to make, but it has bacon! Plus, it’s gluten free, dairy free, paleo, low carb, keto, and Whole30-friendly. The only friends it can disappoint are vegans, vegetarians, and weird folks who don’t like asparagus.

Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein

I love how versatile food can be. Seriously, real food can be so, so simple, but it can also be used for a never-ending variety of meals. I’ve recently discovered how versatile spaghetti squash can be. Case in point: Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein.

This recipe makes a lot of food, which is always awesome because then you get to use the leftovers. And let me tell ya, the leftovers are almost better than the original recipe. Don’t you just love when food tastes better the second time around?! Obviously, this would pair extremely well with my Eggroll in a Bowl, and that makes an equally epic amount of food.

Chunky Monkey Chia Pudding with Pure7 Chocolate

Chunky Monkey Chia Pudding + Pure7 Chocolate Amazingness

I’m going to be totally up front. I actually really hate the term “Chunky Monkey”. I don’t understand at all why the terms “chunky” and “monkey” apply to food…it doesn’t sound appealing at all. But, to be fair, it is an easily recognizable way to describe a food that has banana and peanut butter and possibly chocolate. And can you imagine how long the title of this post would be if I had to type all that out? So, this delicious breakfast/snack/treat is Chunky Monkey Chia Pudding.
