Sweet Potato Chili 

This is David's favorite chili recipe.  No beans, but instead carrots and sweet potato!  It has a spicy and sweet flavor.  

2 lbs ground beef
1/2 red onion diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 small can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes with juice
1 tablespoon better than beef bullion
1 can of sliced carrots
2 sweet potatoes- sliced in half
Olive oil
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Dash of oregano
Dash of red pepper flakes
1/4 cup water

On a baking sheet, add potatoes (cut in half long ways) and drizzle with olive oil.  Heat oven to 400 degrees and cook for about 8-10 min until tender.  Once tender, cut the potatoes into cubes and set aside.

In a large pot, add onions and garlic and cook until done on medium heat.  Add ground beef and dry ingredients and cook until brown.  Add all remaining ingredients including carrots and stir.  Lower heat to medium low.  Once the sweet potatoes are finished, add to the chili and stir.

ENJOY!

Paleo Almond Coconut Crusted Chicken Fingers

These were like buttermilk chicken fingers, but I used Greek yogurt instead.  These were really good!  

1 lb Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup almond meal (You can also blend some almonds if you have some...)
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
1 can coconut milk
1 container of plain Greek yogurt
Peanut Oil
1 Tbsp Paprika (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 400
2. Pound and Slice your chicken into small strips.  Mix together almond flour, coconut flour, and coconut, paprika, & garlic.
3. Dredge each piece of chicken in the Greek yogurt and then into the coconut milk and then coat with the almond / coconut mixture.
4. Fry in a pan until outside is brown and then put on a baking sheet in the oven for about 10 min until cooked through.
5. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

**Tip - If you want the strips a little bit more brown, you can always turn oven to broil.  Just make sure to keep an eye on it so they aren't burnt to a crisp!
