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!!

Paleo Bacon Slaw

Original recipe is here, http://cfscceat.blogspot.com/2011/08/paleo-bacon-coleslaw.html. I use more oil and vinegar when I make it, so I included my quantities. Came out delicious. I love coleslaw and the extra little zing from the dijon mustard was great (and of course there is BACON in it!)


*Disclaimer: Unless you use nitrate free bacon this recipe is not considered totally Paleo, so if you are doing a Paleo Challenge or staying completely 100% Paleo this recipe will cost you points.*



What you need:
- 1 Head of Cabbage (I use a mandolin to shred it as thin as I can)
- 2 Carrots Shredded
- 1 Red Onion (I use the mandolin for this as well)
- 6 Strips of Bacon
- 1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper

What you do:
- Cook bacon until crisp, reserve bacon fat for later
- Combine shredded cabbage, onion and carrots in a large bowl
- In a separate bowl combine mustard, honey, vinegar, olive oil, 2 Tbsp bacon grease, salt and pepper
- Crush up bacon into small pieces and add to cabbage
- Pour dressing onto cabbage and bacon mixture and mix well
