I had no idea there was such thing of coconut cream and found it at Walmart. This quiche was quick and easy made of coconut cream, bacon, spinach, onion, I added red & green peppers, since it's just for me I used a 8x8 glass pan greased with bacon drippings, the original recipe called for a 9x13 pan.
The strawberry cinnamon blended water is awesome for digestion and the watermelon was just because.
I made the sweet potato fries staying within the 'paleo' way of cooking so I oven fried them in coconut oil with seasons of garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, & sea salt on parchment paper. They were season perfect but not crunchy so back to the drawing board for them.
The steak I rubbed yesterday with a homemade rub then grilled approx 5 minutes each side then rest under a foil tent for 10 minutes topped with Blue cheese. Served wirh a salad of Romaine lettuce, spinach, basil, and tomato dressed with pomegranate Chipotle aslo doubled as dip for my steark. I paired this with a glass (or rwo) of Pinot Noir.
Today while waiting in the E.R for my friend I read in a magazine (Good Housekeeping or Womans something? ) that yogurt & fresh fruit wasn't bad as a late snack so its 10 oclock I can't sleep and this is what happened...
1 cup Oikos plain greek yogurt
Handful of blueberries
Handful of pumpkin seeds
....topped with a honey drizzle
Goodnight yawl sleep well*

Get your vitamins and antioxidants in a few fresh gulps. Orange & lemon infused water, green tea & fresh ginger, grapefruit & cranberry blend, watermelon water, & warm lemon water to get your metabolism going. Fruits are high in carbohydrates so watch out but at the same time they are naturally sweetened and great fat burners and a great way to encourage drinking water.
