Some more ways to make your Thanksgiving Paleo!!!

Pecan Pie

Crust:
½ cup Coconut Flour
½ cup Coconut Flakes (unsweetened)
½ Tbsp  Agave (Amber)
¼ tsp Sea Salt
¼ cup Coconut Oil
3 Egg Whites
Filling:
1 Egg White
1 Egg
¾ cup  Agave (Amber)
¼ cup Maple Syrup
¼ cup Coconut Crystals or raw Sugar
2 Tbsp Arrowroot Powder mixed with 1/8 cup Water
¼ tsp Sea Salt
¼ tsp Vanilla
1 (6oz) bag Pecan halves
For the crust:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the agave, sea salt, coconut oil and egg whites. Sift in the coconut flour and coconut flakes. Mix until incorporated. Grease a pie pan (we use coconut oil spray) and press the dough into the pan. Try to make it thin. Poke the bottom of the crust a couple of times with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes.
For the filling:
Mix all ingredients (except for the pecans) until thoroughly incorporated. Pour the pecans into the pie crust. Pour the sugar mixture over the pecans.
Wrap the edges of the pie crust in tin foil to prevent burning. Bake for 40 minutes uncovered or until set.

Sweet Potato Casserole

2 large Sweet Potatoes
Sautéed Apples
2 Eggs
½ cup raw Sugar (or Coconut Crystals)
½ tsp Sea Salt
¼ cup Coconut Oil​
¼ cup Coconut Milk (the thick kind in the can)
2 tsp Vanilla
Toppping:
½ cup Coconut Crystals (or raw Sugar)
¼ cup Coconut Flour
¾ cup Walnuts
3 Tbsp Coconut Oil
½ tsp Cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Dice the sweet potatoes into large chunks and boil them in water for about 20 minutes or until soft.
While the sweet potatoes are boiling, make the sautéed apples. Combine the apples, eggs, sugar, sea salt, coconut oil, coconut milk, and vanilla in a blender (or Bullet!) and blend until smooth.
Combine the sweet potatoes and the apple mixture and mash until the sweet potatoes are the desired texture.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased glass baking dish (should fit about an 8×8).
In a separate bowl, combine all topping ingredients. If you are using coconut oil that is solid, you will want to heat it to liquefy it first. Once the ingredients are mixed thoroughly, spread the topping out over the sweet potatoes.
Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes.

Apple & Bacon Stuffed Pork Chops

Ingredients

6 1″ thick pork chops
2 Tbsp lard
2 medium baking apples (Gala and York are our favorites), peeled, cored and diced
10 strips of bacon, diced
1 red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minces
4 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
1/4 tsp paprika
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions

1. Ask your butcher to “pocket” your baking chops.  If you need to do it yourself, use a 4-6″ knife and pierce the fatty side of the chop. Wiggle your knife side to side until your “pocket” is about 5″ long and 3″ wide (70% of the chop)
2. In a medium pan (we recommend a cast iron skillet or dutch oven), melt lard over medium-high heat
3. Cook apples, bacon and onion until onion is softened and bacon is crispy, about 8 minutes
4. Add garlic, sage, paprika and lemon juice and toss for 2 minutes
5. Remove stuffing from heat, transfer to bowl and set-aside
6. ♥ Salt and pepper each side of pork chop, stuff it with as much stuffing as you can fit and use a skewer or toothpick to close and prevent spilling (about half of the stuffing will be leftover)
7. Insert pork chops into the hot pan to sear on each side, cook each side of the chops for 5 minutes in hot pan over medium-high heat
8. Transfer pan/dutch oven to 350 degree oven and bake uncovered for 35 minutes
9. To serve, warm remaining stuffing and spoon on top of each chop

So Since the Holidays are coming up you may want to start thinking about how you can make this holiday a little more Paleo.  I love looking at the Everday Paleo blog!  She has put together an entire Paleo Thanksgiving meal.  For all of you at CF Anaerobic members that have been doing the Fall Detox Challenge, I highly suggest that you not go overboard on Thanksgiving after eating so cleanly for 3 weeks.  You will not be feeling so great, and may just want to camp out near the bathroom!! :)
