Basil Steak Stir Fry with Avocado Puree

This is awesome with the avocado puree for dinner, but the leftovers made for a great scramble the next day. Scramble with eggs or kale (or both). Enjoy!

Basil Steak Stir Fry with Avocado Puree:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb steak
• 1 red pepper
• 1 yellow pepper
• 2 cups mushrooms
• 1 white onion
• 1/8-1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
• 1 avocado
• 2 tablespoons garlic
• 2 tsp lime juice

Cook steak however you want. Saute all chopped veggies in oil (coconut or olive oil), and add basil. Add chopped steak and saute everything together for about a minute. For the puree: pulse avocado, garlic, and lime juice in a food processor, 4-5 pulses or until desired consistency. 

Fluffy Cookies

I'm calling these fluffy cookies because my job requires a lot of brain cells and I wasn't able to come up with a more creative name. These are really good, and probably the fluffiest paleo cookies I've managed to produce. Definitely dinner party material people.

Fluffy Cookies:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond butter
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 1 tablespoon raw honey
• 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Chips
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Mix almond butter, eggs, and vanilla, then add baking soda, honey, and coconut sugar. Fold in coconut flakes, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes. Makes 12 cookies, so share with a buddy! 

Spinach Stuffed and Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin

So I really want a fancy digital camera.. and a nice big set of white square dishes. I think it would really improve the quality of my food photos. However that's an investment of several hundred dollars and I would rather go to CrossFit for the next few months, so until my photographic talents are discovered by Canon or someone else with a lot of money it's just me and my IPhone camera.  I think photography would be a super fun hobby; my Facebook friends would probably be pumped to see even more photos of my two neurotic dogs :-) Anyway, about the food I cooked this week. Pork wrapped in more pork. Here it is!

Spinach Stuffed and Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin:

 
Ingredients:

• 2 small pork loins
• 1 package nitrate free bacon
• 2 cups frozen spinach
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• salt and pepper

Thaw spinach, then saute in olive oil. Lightly salt the pork loins. Cut a slit in each, and stuff with spinach and garlic mix, then wrap bacon around each (pictured below)

Grind fresh pepper over each bacon wrapped pork loin. Put in baking dish, bake at 375 for 50-60 minutes.
