Paleo Side Dish

Pumpkin Fritters

Standard

I’ve grown to love pumpkin fritters…as a side dish, as a snack…sometimes even for breakfast! (Don’t judge me, they’re delicious!)

The best part is, they are super simple to whisk together and are 100% Paleo-friendly so you can munch away without any guilt.

So, I thought that as we head into pumpkin season, it was time to share this little recipe secret with you. This might just be my new favorite recipe for this fall!

Here it is…

INGREDIENTS

2 cups cooked (boiled or steamed) organic pumpkin, or butternut squash
1 large egg
2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
1 pinch Himalayan Sea Salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon spice
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Coconut palm sugar and cinnamon spice to taste

RECIPE

Place 2 cups of cooked and mashed pumpkin in a mixing bowl.
Whisk the egg and then add it to the mixing bowl. Mix the egg in well with the pumpkin.
Add the arrowroot flour, salt and cinnamon and mix again until the fritter mix ingredients are well combined.

Next, in a medium saucepan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat.
Using a tablespoon, scoop 2 tablespoons of pumpkin mix at a time into the pan and fry for a few minutes until the underside of each fritter becomes firm and golden brown. Then flip the fritters over and fry for another few minutes until the other side turns a beautiful brown as well.
Remove the fritters from the pan and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil, if desired.
Continue this process until all the fritter mix has been used.

Sprinkle with coconut sugar and cinnamon, to taste and serve warm.

How’s that for a toasty fall treat?!

Season Greetings,

Paleo Potato Salad

Standard

I used to be one of those people who jealously eyed anyone indulging in potato salad at BBQ’s and picnics, in an attempt to steer clear of white potatoes and stay true to my Paleo lifestyle.

And then it dawned on me – there was a sneaky little solution that would have even the most die-hard potato salad fan pondering if anything was different – the white-fleshed sweet potato!

This is a fantastic Paleo Potato Salad option that is so delicious you’ll have to make twice as much so there’s some to share (at least if I’m coming to dinner!)

INGREDIENTS

1 medium organic white-fleshed sweet potato
1 large organic red apple of your choice
1 medium whole sweet and tangy pickle
1 medium organic onion, peeled
4 tablespoons organic, Paleo-friendly mayonnaise
1 heaped teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste

 

RECIPE

In a medium pot, bring water to the boil.
Peel the potato and cut it into uniform slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the potato slices in the pot and let boil.
While the potato cooks, cut the apple, onion and pickle into small cubes, about a half-a-dime-sized, or smaller.
Once the potato is fully cooked, but still firm, remove the potato slices from the pot and allow to cool before dicing into dime-sized pieces.
Combine all the ingredients together and mix gently before adding the mayonnaise.
Toss the salad to spread the mayonnaise evenly.
Add the Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste, and give it one final mix.
Seal in a dish and refrigerate until serving.
(Can be stored up to 5 days in the refrigerator.)

 
This recipe makes 4 to 6 side servings.

I hope you adore this Paleo-friendly side dish as much as I do, and get your potato salad fix while benefiting from the dietary fiber and array of nutrients it offers,
