Paleo Cauliflower Mash
 

Cauliflower Nutrition:

Cauliflower is loaded with vitamin C. Cauliflower is also a superb source of potassium. Skip the oranges and bananas post workout, and roast, boil, steam, or just eat raw, some of this nutritionally dense vegetable.
 

Cauliflower is also great for your digestive health. A cup of boiled cauliflower delivers about 3.35 g of dietary fiber, which helps clean your digestive system and gets rid of unnecessary substances. Additionally, a substance called glucoraphin is present in it as well, and this appears to have a protective effect on your stomach lining.

  • 3 Cups Cauliflower   
  • 1 Large Apple    
  • 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil    
  • 1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 Pinch Cayenne Pepper

  • 1 Pinch of Salt 

Directions:

Mash in Sweet Potatoes

Chicken and Bacon Salad in Sweet Potato

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes/yams, baked
  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 12 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2-3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups salad greens (spinach, arugula or even kale.)
  • Olive oil 

Directions

Slice the baked sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.  Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin skin to stuff with the salad later.  Set the skins aside and dice up the cooked sweet potato flesh.


Heat up a large skillet and add the diced bacon.  When it releases its fat, add the diced sweet potato, onion, mushrooms, garlic, chicken, and thyme.

Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the veggies are cooked and the bacon is crispy.  Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the greens.  Let a sit a minute so the greens can wilt.


Scoop the mixture into the sweet potato sweet potato boats and then drizzle with olive oil.
