I made meat wrapped in meat, wrapped in meat!

It was delicious. We have a couple of friends doing the Primal Diet and they came over for a dinner/board game night. So to make sure I made a gluten free/carb free meal my friends and non-vegetable eating boyfriend would eat I figured you just can't go wrong with MEAT!

4 servings

4 chicken breasts (I used boneless skinless)
3/4 pound ground pork
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 package of bacon

Preheat your oven to 375

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté pork, shallot, parsley and half of spices for 6-8 minutes until pork is just cooked, but still slightly pink.

Open up the breasts and pound briefly with a meat tenderizer to thin the meat out a bit. About 1 inch thick seemed to work best to hold the pork and not fall back open.
(PS You need a meat tenderizer, putting a cutting board over the breast and beating it with a real hammer doesn't do the trick...HAHA!)

Sprinkle the remaining spices evenly over the inside of the breasts.

Spoon equal amounts of ground pork on to one side of each breast, then fold the other side over the top.

Wrap bacon slices snugly around each breast, covering entirely.

Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, then put under the broiler for 3 minutes to crisp up bacon. I flipped the breast over and broiled both sides because I like crispy bacon.

Can be eaten warm or cold.

                                             Add a Little Sweetness to your Steaks

This is a nice Sweet sauce to put on your Steak instead of using A1.

What you'll need

2 Tablespoons Raspberry Jam
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Worceshire Sauce
2 Tablespoons Tomato Sauce
2 Tablespoons Malt Vinegar
5 Drops of Hot pepper juice
Salt and Pepper to taste

Put everything in a sauce pan, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 mins or until it thickens. Remove from heat to allow the sauce to thicken up!

Now I substituted the Raspberry Jam with Raspberry Preserves (Hubby bought the wrong stuff lol), and the Malt Vinegar with Apple cider Vinegar, and the Tomato Sauce with Ketchup. The sauce turned out great! The only thing is that the preserves had seeds in it, and I'm not a big fan of seeds, but it still tasted great! Next time I make it I am going to try doing Apricot Jam instead of Raspberry. Don't worry I'll let you know how it turns out :)

Some healthy breakfasts

I am trying this Blueprint diet thing. Its basically a no carb, whole foods only diet. Its pretty easy. Here's a couple of breakfast recipes I have tried so far:


1 small handful of walnuts
1 small handful of pecans
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
1/2 – 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch of ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground ginger
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 banana, mashed (I used applesauce)
3 eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (add more if you prefer it a little runny)
2 teaspoons pumpkin seeds
1 handful of fresh berries

Mix all the nuts in a food processor, wisk together egg, applesauce and almond butter and stir those into the nuts. Microwave for like 2 mins.



6 eggs
1/4 – 1/2 cup cooked meat, cut or crumbled into small pieces
1/2 cup diced vegetables - I omitted because Nick won't eat veggies
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground pepper
1/8 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup water
some cheese.

Mix everything together and pour into greased muffin tins, I didn't use any paper cups. Bake at 350 for about 20 mins. They puff up pretty good so don't fill the tins to the top. You can freeze or refrigerate these and eat them later too.
