Slow Cooker Kalua Pork (Paleo, Whole30)

by bariadmin

Oh, Slow Cooker Kalua Pork, how do I love thee… let me count the ways! I could just feast on this for days on end, making pulled pork sliders, lettuce-wrapped tacos, slathered in barbecue sauce, or mixed in with eggs for a great breakfast scramble.  

It’s so tender and smoky, I can never get enough. 

The trick to cooking a Kalua Pig is to allow it to cook very low and slow. I’m talking about the lowest setting on your slow cooker for 16 hours, baby.  

And it’s worth it.

What makes this Paleo AND Whole30? Well, I’m glad you asked! It turns out that many brands of liquid smoke add a bunch of unnecessary garbage in it like sugar and caramel coloring. (Ugh, why?!) But the one brand I buy and love, Wright’s Liquid Smoke, has none of that! It’s just what it says it is: smoke from wood collected, condensed, and cooled down into a liquid. And it’s freaking delicious!

Whole30 Barbecue Sauce (Paleo, too!)

by bariadmin

I created this Whole30 Barbecue Sauce for the time I was strictly adhering to the Whole30 eating plan. I had a really hard time finding Whole30 compliant barbecue sauces because everything has added sugar, it seems. This is more of a smoky barbecue sauce, and you know it tastes clean. I ended up liking it enough to keep making it even when not doing the 30-day cleanse/challenge/gut healing/whateveryoucallit. What can I say, once you go clean, you… well, feel amazing and never want to eat that old crap again! 

If you would like to make it more Paleo instead of super-strict Whole30, you can add a bit of honey to it to sweeten it. This is what my husband recommends. Pretty delicious!

Vietnamese Pork Over Spaghetti Squash (Paleo, Whole30)

by bariadmin

One of the toughest things about cooking with whole foods and using real ingredients is that it can become incredibly time consuming in the kitchen! I love this recipe for the fact that it really does cook up quickly! I just put the spaghetti squash into the oven to roast, and while waiting for it, I chop up all the herbs and cook everything. It’s ready before I know it! 

This Vietnamese Pork Over Spaghetti Squash recipe is so delicious! I love all of the fresh herbs and the addition of the apple. Apple and pork in the same dish always makes me so happy. They were meant for each other! It is a mild tasting dish, so if you would like to spice it up, I did try adding a bit of hot sauce at the end of my final trial, and found that it was great either way!

Mushroom Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash

by bariadmin

When I made huge lifestyle changes two years ago, I was genuinely sad to say goodbye to one of my all-time favorite recipes: Mushroom Sausage Stuffing. It was one I only made on Thanksgiving, because I always felt it was so special. But alas, it was full of bread, something I was committed to cutting out if I were ever to find health. Every person is different, of course, but bread is one thing that causes inflammation and misery in my body.

Thankfully, I’ve learned that there are ways to revamp my old favorite recipes so I can still have all of the good stuff without needing the bad! It’s not about what you’ve cut out, it’s all about the good stuff you’ve added in! In this case, I took out the bread, and instead, I paired it with a beautiful acorn squash. The flavors went from just wonderfully savory to explosive!

So if you’re like me, and you need a great Paleo-friendly stuffing alternative, this one is WONDERFUL, if I do say so myself! Super delicious! (If you want to make this a Whole30 stuffing recipe, use chicken broth instead of wine.)

This mushroom sausage stuffed acorn squash recipe is an incredible alternative to traditional stuffing. So if you are Paleo and need a Paleo-friendly Thanksgiving stuffing alternative, this is the one for you! …

How to Cook a Whole Chicken in a Slow Cooker (Crock Pot Recipe)

by bariadmin

As I write this, it so HOT in my little pocket of Southern California! (You: “How hot is it?”) It’s so hot, the classrooms in my son’s school registered 106 degrees F just two days ago! Our school district doesn’t have air conditioning in its schools. It’s maddening, but that is a hot topic (no pun intended) for another time, another venue. …Poor kids!

Needless to say, on that super hot day, I was not going to be making any chicken in the oven or on the stovetop, so the slow cooker seemed like the obvious solution. The nice thing about cooking a whole chicken in a crockpot is, in addition to keeping the kitchen cool, it makes super-easy-to-shred chicken for days! Seriously, when this comes out of the Crockpot, it just falls right off the bone, it is so tender! 

Cooking a whole chicken in a slow cooker is so EASY. Just a few basic seasonings is all you need! 

Did you know you can roast a whole chicken in a crockpot? Yep, it's super easy!! Here is how to cook a whole chicken in a slow cooker!…

How to Cook Perfect Bacon in the Oven

by bariadmin

Bacon. I love it, you probably love it, but what I DON’T love is what a pain it is to cook when I need it! It’s always uneven, the grease splatters everywhere, and it takes so much time standing over the stove, watching over these temperamental strips of heaven. Um, excuse me, but I need to get these kids to school.

Did you know that you can bake bacon in the oven, have it cook evenly, and take just seconds of your time? 

Yep. 

And you don’t even have to invoke any witchcraft. Read on, fellow bacon-lovers-but-bacon-cooking-haters.

Sick of unevenly cooked bacon? Does it take too much time to prepare and does it splatter its grease everywhere? Baking your bacon in the oven is nearly foolproof! I just set mine in and not have to worry about it while getting the kids ready for school! So easy!…
