Whats This?

This recipe blog is an extension of my original blog Motivation... Determination... Drive. Having been asked numerous times what is involved in paleo eating and the simple question "so... what can you eat?" I have decided to put this collection together. Some of the recipes will be original, and some will be modifications (or replicas) of recipes I have found in cookbooks books or on line. Every recipe listed will be something I have tried, nothing that I think just looks good and want to attempt. As a disclaimer, I will not take credit for those found at other sources, if you are to use one listed with a link attached please give credit to the original site. Thank You and happy eating!!

Sweet Potato Pancakes

These are DELISH!! We started making them and now they are a staple at least once a week. They are so easy and they taste great! You can modify as needed, and if you dont like spicy, dont add the green onion or Cayenne... experiment as needed!!


*Disclaimer: Sweet potatos are considered paleo in moderation. If you are trying to maintain the Paleo Lifestyle be careful when you consume these. If doing a Paleo Challenge typically sweet potato is "allowed" only within 30 minutes of a WOD.*


What you need:
- Two Sweet Potatoes (this makes 8 pancakes)
- 4 Pieces of All Natural Bacon
- Green Onion
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Tsp Sea Salt
- 2 Tsp Cayenne
- 2 Tsp Black Pepper



What you do:
- Fry up bacon while peeling sweet potatoes.
- Use cheese grater and shred 2 sweet potatos
- After bacon is done, drain grease and leave pan coated and add grease as needed. 
- Cut up green onion and bacon, add to potatoes.
- Add 2 eggs to shredded potatoes and mix by hand.
- Add sea salt, Cayenne and black pepper
- Mix up very good by hand, mix will be very sloppy
- Preheat nonstick fry pan at Medium heat.
- Shape pancakes, try to make them about only about 1/2 to 3/4 of inch thick.
- We save bacon grease when we make bacon any time, so either add some more bacon grease right before starting to cook them or add a little olive oil to pan before dropping them on.
- Should take about 7-8 minutes per side but just watch them so they don't burn, only flip them once and dont handle them a lot while cooking or they will fall to pieces! 






These are GREAT reheated with lunch for work the next day... we had them above with sausages... YUMMY!!
