I decided to change this weeks menu as I’m still dealing with stomach issues, my stomach has not been right ever since we got home from Houston last weekend.  I’m thinking I may need to do a mini reset and really focus on eating good foods with lots of veggies.  I went through my old Whole30 and Paleo cookbook to create this weeks meal plan, I’m cooking some old recipes that are really good and found some new ones to try too.  I’m excited for a week of clean wholesome recipes to hopefully help my tummy and balance myself back out. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy week!!!

Whatever I have leftover I will portion out and freeze for another time when I need a quick meal to eat. I’m excited to get back in my kitchen to do some meal prepping and healthy cooking this week, just hoping to kick this crazy cold I have.

Trader Joe’s Green Bean Casserole - Revised (Gluten-Free)

 


Trader Joe’s Green Bean Casserole - Original Recipe Revised 

Servings: 8 to 10  

Ingredients:
12 tbsp (3/4 cup) butter or ghee
2 medium onions
4 tsp salt
2 - 24 oz bag TJ’s frozen French Green Beans (any frozen brand will work too)
3/4 cup flour (I used Gluten-free)
4 cups milk (Lactose or Nutpod Original for Dairy Free)
2 cans 8 oz TJ’s Gourmet Fried Onion pieces or Gluten-free fried onions 

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In your largest skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tbsp of butter.  Add onions and sauté until it begins to soften, about four minutes.  Season with 2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper, mix and then add the onion mixture to a 9x13 pan and set aside.
  2. Cook green beans according to directions on the bag. If you buy Trader Joe’s green beans there are no directions. Just boil water and cook beans until cooked through and strain them.  Then add them to the onion mixture in the 9x13 pan.  Mix the onions and green beans all together, leave them to cool a bit to make the sauce. 
  3. Sauce: Melt remaining butter in the same skillet as the onions over medium heat.  Add flour, whisking constantly until mixture begins to turn golden, about two minutes. Pour in milk and continue whisking until mixture has thickened, about three minutes.  Stir in remaining salt and pepper. Remove from heat and pour over the onion and green bean mixture, mix all together until the sauce covers everything and spread out evenly in the pan.  
  4. Bake casserole, covered, until mixture is bubbly and heated through - about 20 minutes.
  5. Uncover after 20 minutes, stir and then add French onion pieces on top.  Place back in the oven and broil for about 2 more minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.  Serve right away and enjoy!

New Recipe - Sweet Potato Hash with Spicy Italian Turkey Sausage (Whole30, Paleo and Clean Eating)


Sweet Potato Hash with Spicy Italian Turkey Sausage 

Servings: 5 to 6 

Ingredients:
Sweet Potato Hash Mix:
2 medium or 1 large Sweet Potato - diced 
1 red bell pepper - diced
1 yellow onion - diced 
3 tbsp Avocado Oil 
4 cloves Garlic - minced
1 tsp Oregano - dried 
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Salt 
1/2 tsp Pepper 

Spicy Italian Turkey Mix:
1 tbsp Avocado Oil 
1 lb ground turkey
1 tbsp Homemade Spicy Italian Seasoning 
2 to 3 handfuls of mixed greens or baby spinach 

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Mix all sweet potato hash ingredients in a large bowl until everything is well coated with the avocado oil, garlic and herbs. 
  3. Take a sheet pan with parchment paper, add the sweet potato hash mix to the pan and spread out until the whole pan is covered.
  4. Place in the oven at 425 degrees for 25 minutes. Once cooked remove from the oven and place to the side until the meat mixture is done. 
  5. When the potatoes are roasting in the oven, add avocado oil to a sauté pan and add ground turkey, cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until fully cooked. 
  6. Next add the homemade spicy Italian seasoning to the ground turkey, stir until all the meat is coated with the spices and cook for a few more minutes.  Add water or broth to prevent from sticking to the pan. 
  7. Next add the mixed greens or baby spinach and turkey mixture to the sweet potato hash on the sheet pan.  Mix everything up well and then add the pan back to the oven.  
  8. Broil at 500 degrees for about 5 to 10 minutes, remove from oven and it’s ready to serve. 
  9. You can top it with fresh cilantro, tomatoes, avocado or Tessemae’s Creamy Ranch. Enjoy!!!
