Chop them before you wash them, and then throw thm in a collander to be rinsed. Separate them as you rinse them in order to rid them of sand. Drain and throw into a skillet of hot butter or lard or chicken fat. After they soften a bit, I like to add white wine and chicken broth and then reduce.<br /><br />Experiment with Jicama raw in salads, cooked in stews, and fried instead of potatoes. There are a variety of tips online for preparing them in advance of frying. Make sure you peel them.<br /><br />Oh, the leeks are excellent with chard, all cooked together, simultaneously, in the manner above.whistlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00278970352458017764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-13440857400974002062012-03-26T19:28:30.888-07:002012-03-26T19:28:30.888-07:00Okay, the turtle burgers (photos) grossed me out u...Okay, the turtle burgers (photos) grossed me out until I read the recipe.

Do some roast veggies on the side (beets, or carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, red bell peppers) top them with avocado!<br /><br />Have you checked out fastpaleo.com? AWESOME WEBSITE! They post new recipes, usually a couple new ones, everyday. Tonight I'm going to try out health-bent.com's shepards pie- sounds good and that should fill up a big family like yours!<br /><br />beta.primal-palate.com has some awesome recipes, too! <br />Not sure if you have a crock pot but it's really quite awesome. I throw in a bunch of meet in the morning (or on a Sunday), let it cook 4-6 hours and then you have dinner that is cooked perfectly. Throw in some veggies and spices and you are set! <br /><br />Another fun dish- make meatballs (Easy enough- ground meat, spices, form little balls and cook in the oven) and serve over zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash with some tomato sauce. Zucchini noodles are easy to make- lots of recipes online but you can just slice up zucchini really thin then cook on the stove (boil them or sautee them in some olive oil until cooked- just don't overcook them).<br /><br />hope this helped some....The Influencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760337009750305428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-34422556441987444762012-03-26T09:25:27.815-07:002012-03-26T09:25:27.815-07:00No specific receipe at the moment but a suggestion...No specific receipe at the moment but a suggestion: soup. You can use any number of vegetables either puréed as the soup base for a creamy texture soup or diced in chicken, beef or tomato base. So many variables with herbs and spices. For lunch today we had a spicy tortilla soup with a beef broth base and various vegetables and avocado puréed for thick texture. Added chorizo sausage and some cilantro at the end. It was tasty and very filling.Polly Metallichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404841777505633584noreply@blogger.com
