Oatmeal pancakes

I've tried sooooooo many oatmeal pancakes and lost the recipes but finally found one I like (minus the whole wheat flour). Here's the link- http://www.lungesandlace.com/2013/05/healthy-oatmeal-pancakes.html?m=1

I like to double the recipe and it fits nicely into my blender so it's an easy clean up!

11/2 cups oats

11/2 almond milk

 Mix these two and let sit for 10 min to soak and get a nice consistency. I usually take this time to line cookie sheets and lay out the bacon then turn on the oven and in twenty min. breakfast is done!

2/3 cup whole wheat flour (will try coconut flour when I'm ready for a treat)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp baking soda

2 eggs

Oil pan, get a medium high heat and start the pancakes!

Yum! Thankful for http://www.lungesandlace.com/2013/05/healthy-oatmeal-pancakes.html?m=1 ! I feel like this is a healthier pancake then most!

Green chile buffalo burger

1lb buffalo

1/2 cup mild green chiles (we were serving to the kids so we kept the chile heat down)

1-2 table spoons ghee (or butter) 

1 tablespoon hamburger or steak seasoning low sodium

Mash and combine all ingredients, form into round patties with a thinner middle so burger will be flat once done instead of raised in the center. Cook in a skillet or grill over medium heat, 3-4 per a side for well done.

Serve with toppings, cheese, etc. or open faced along side a green veggie!

Apple Cajun Pork Tenderloin

This would be a great Sunday lunch that can be made while your at church!

1-2lb pork tenderloin with little slits every half inch or so

1 apple cord and cut into several slices

1-2 tablespoons butter or ghee

2-3 tablespoons honey or blue agave

1 medium white onion cut into slices

Cajun seasoning

Salt and pepper

In a pan melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle Cajun seasoning on tenderloin and add to pan to sear all sides of the meat. Add honey. Add the pork tenderloin to crock pot and pour sauce all over. In each slit in the tenderloin, place an apple slice. Toss remaining apple slices and onions over tenderloin, cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3-4 hours.

Slice and serve with the apples and onions on top of rice or mashed potatoes? 

This was so easy and Jonny asked for it to be added to the regular menu!

Asian pork ribs with yummy slaw (crock pot!)

Pulled this from http://paleomg.com/asian-pork-ribs-over-tangy-slaw/. Did everything the same except used the crockpot and a few

Different ingredients.

The ribs:

2lbs boneless country style ribs, trimmed fat.

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper

Marinade the ribs over night and then put in crock pot on low for 8-10 hours until meat easily falls apart.

The slaw

She used a bag of broccoli slaw but I couldn't find that so here is what I used:

1/3 of a red cabbage grated

2 good sized carrots

2 good sized broccoli trunks (I normally chop off the crowns of the broccoli and steam for a side dish with a meal but this allowed me to use what I normally trash)

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1-2 teaspoons Siracha sauce depending on the heat you prefer 

1 teaspoon fish sauce

2 juiced limes

1-2 teaspoons of sesame oil 

1-2 tablespoons blue agave nectar (she used honey)

Sauté all in a pan over medium high heat for about 8min stirring and evenly coating the mixture.

Serve pork over slaw and garnish with sesame seeds :)
