The Easiest Sweet Potatoes Ever

Short of having someone else make them for you, this is the easiest way to make sweet potatoes. Once they are cooked you can use them for everything from a meat free main course to a side dish or even a dessert.

Wrap as many yams or sweet potatoes as you want (or can fit in your slow cooker) in foil and then cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.

Hawaiian Pizza Salad

A blend of sweet and spicy, served over fresh greens.

Ingredients:

2 to 3 pound pork shoulder

4 cloves of garlic, peeled and left whole

1 onion, diced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt to taste

Layer the onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the pork.

Make four slices into the pork and slide the garlic into each.

Sprinkle with the remaining seasonings and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.

For the Salad:

2 hearts of romaine roughly chopped

1 bell pepper, seeded and sliced

4 ounces of button mushrooms

2 cups of pineapple chunks, no sugar added/drained

½ cup of pepperoni, thinly sliced

Cook the mushrooms until slightly browned and then toss together with the remaining ingredients. Serve the cooked pork over the salad.

Chapter Six: Bonus Recipes to Satisfy the Snack Hounds and the Sweet Seekers

Life is not all about just food for nutrition and energy. Sometimes we need a little snack and of course, most of us enjoy a little dessert as well. Here are a few recipes to get your creative juices flowing.

A Hot Cup of WOW!

Ingredients:

Equal parts chicken stock and coconut milk

Red curry paste to taste.

Optional: green onions for garnish

Directions:

For every one cup serving of WOW!, you will need ½ cup of each liquid. You can double or even triple this recipe as desired. (If you are making the single serving you can use the microwave or the smallest slow cooker otherwise it may scorch)

Once the first two ingredients are hot add in the red curry paste to your own taste preferences and enjoy.

Orange Spiced Apple Cider

A recipe that is perfect for a winter gathering of any kind.

Ingredients:

8 cups of apple cider

2 whole cinnamon sticks

The juice plus the rind of one orange

½ teaspoon of whole cloves

1 Tablespoon raw honey

Directions:

Add the cider, cinnamon sticks, cloves and honey to the cooker. Peel the orange saving the rind and then juice it directly into the crock. Slice the orange rind into spirals or slivers and add as well. Heat on high for 3 hours and then turn down to warm. You can also cook on low for up to six hours if you prefer.

Acorn squash with Walnuts and Cranberries

A beautiful and healthy snack, vegetarian friendly side dish or a lovely dessert.

Ingredients:

1 acorn squash, sliced in half and seeds scooped out. (You can save the seeds to roast just like pumpkin seeds)

½ cup chopped walnuts

½ cup fresh cranberries

2 Tablespoons honey

2 Tablespoons butter

Directions:

Combine the walnuts and cranberries with the honey and butter and the spoon into the cavity of the squash.

Place in the slow cooker with apple juice or water. Cook on low for 3 to 6 hours or until the flesh of the squash is tender.

Stuffed Apples

A recipe that cannot be messed up!

Ingredients:

4 green apples, cored.

½ cup coconut butter

¼ cup nut butter of your choice. (Peanut butter is not an actual nut butter and is not allowed on the Paleo diet.)

2 Tablespoons cinnamon

Pinch of nutmeg

3-4 tablespoons unsweetened, shredded coconut

1 cup of water (can use unsweetened apple juice if you like)

Directions:

Mix the coconut butter, nut butter, cinnamon and nutmeg together. Spoon into each of the apples.

Top the apples with more cinnamon and the shredded coconut.

Cook on low for 2-3 hours. The longer these cook the mushier they will become. Eventually this will turn into a lumpy apple sauce which tastes far better than it looks.

Maple Glazed Pecans

Ingredients:

3 cups of raw pecans

¼ cups of maple syrup

2 teaspoon vanilla bean or vanilla extract if you prefer

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions:

Mix all together and then cook on low for 1 to 3 hours stirring often.

(Special note:  This recipe will make cleaning your slow cooker a bit harder than usual. To make it easier, add a squirt or two of dish liquid and some hot water and turn back on low for 10 to 15 minutes. Most of the sticky mess should come right out.)

Caveman Fudge

No, this is not really the lowest carb thing in the world and you don’t make it in a crockpot but it is super delicious and super easy so the rules were bent just a little.

Ingredients:

½ cup coconut oil

½ cup cocoa powder

½ cup almond butter

¼ cup raw honey or maple syrup

½ teaspoon of vanilla

Directions:

Melt the oil first and then blend everything into it. Pour the mixture into muffin tins lined with paper or foil or use the new silicone pans instead. Chill for thirty minutes or freeze for about ten minutes. It should be firm but not rock hard.
