Paleo Cheese Sauce

Against All Grain recently posted this Paleo cheese sauce recipe, and I've been wanting to try it so bad! I made fajitas the other night and made this to go with it. I was surprised at how delicious it was. Especially on a fajita, it gave it that creamy saucy taste I love. Plus, it's hidden veggies for my boys!:)
Check out her recipe HERE. 



Ingredients:
  • 1 cup peeled and cubed Hannah sweet potato, or other white-fleshed sweet potato (I used regular potatoes. She says orange sweet would work too, but would it give it a sweeter taste)
  • 1/2 cup peeled & diced carrots
  • 1 1/4 cup chicken bone broth (regular broth or chicken stock would work fine)
  • 3 Tbsp melted Ghee (make sure it's melted.)
  • 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 1/2 tsp sea salt 
  • 2 gloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/4 cup fresh store-bought roasted tomatillo salsa (mine was not fresh, it was canned :)
  • 3 tsps arrowroot powder, OR 2 tsp tapioca starch

Directions:
       Step 1: Put the potatoes, carrots, chicken stock, ghee, nutritional yeast, sea salt, garlic cloves, and salsa in a pan or skillet. 
       Step 2: Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes, until the vegetables are fork tender. 
       Step 3: Blend, carefully add the arrowroot powder, then return to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until thickened, whisking constantly. (Mine did not take very long to thicken at all)



**Note, you can also do this in the instant pot, but I do not have one. If you're interested in that, be sure to visit her recipe on her blog for directions.

Marinated Chicken Thighs

         This is one of my favorite, easiest meals! It's great for company, too. Each time I've made it someone has commented on it. It's even Whole30 friendly, and can be either baked in the oven or grilled. I love this with roasted sweet potatoes-Yum yum! Whole30 Marinated Chicken Thighs from Just Jessie B.

Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust

It's been over a year since I've posted a new recipe! I'd say it's about time. But you know how you have seasons of your life when you just make your tried and true recipes over and over again, and other seasons when it's so much fun to try something new? Well, pregnancy for me has definitely brought cooking down a notch, that's for sure. We've had a lot of comfort food around here lately, and things I know are good and wouldn't make me nauseous. Anyway- that to say, I only have 3 weeks until my due date for #3. I have a few recipes to share with you that we love before baby girl makes her arrival, but I can't promise a consistent update of new recipes.  So- back to our recipe for today. Homemade Pizza! This Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust is the best I've ever made, and it gets the crispiest, as long as you roll it out thin. But even if it's thick, we still love it. So make it how you love it! We had a Friday night pizza night where
