Paleo Sloppy Joes- (for later)

(It has Liquid Smoke  so I will wait and use it when not doing Whole30 so strictly)

 

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or other cooking fat
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 can tomato paste (6 oz.)
• 1/2 cup beef stock
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon brown or yellow (prepared) mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the oil, then add your onions and sauté until slightly translucent.
2. Add your beef, and cook, breaking apart any big chunks of meat.
3. Once meat is completely browned, add all remaining ingredients, stirring very thoroughly to combine well.
4. Continue cooking for 5-10 minutes or until sauce is somewhat thickened and flavors have had a chance to meld.

Cheezey Spaghetti (Vegan!)

from: http://www.tgipaleo.com/2013/09/12/cheezey-spaghetti-vegan/

 

(Will try at some point, as I am not following Whole30 as closely.  It has more nuts than recommended.  And I don't know where nutritional yeast is on the no-no list but I like it!

Prep time:  20 mins

Cook time:  40 mins

Total time:  1 hour

Serves: 4

• 1 large spaghetti squash
• 1 c + 2 T raw cashews
• ¾ c vegetable broth
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 T apple cider vinegar
• ¾ c nutritional yeast
• 1½ T Dijon mustard

• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Bake the spaghetti squash at 400 degrees for 1 hour. Split in half and scoop out the flesh with a fork into a large bowl and discard the seeds.
2. Place the cashews in a food processor and pulse until fine.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse to combine.
4. Scrape down the sides and continue to pulse until the sauce is gooey and smooth.
