Paleo - Chicken Fajitas with Peach Salsa       

This was a simple Paleo meal that I cooked up in about 30 minutes.  It really was delicious and easy my 19 month old toddler loved this one too! When making this one I suggest making the Salsa first because it really does need that 30 minutes to marinate and really bring out some great flavors!  The fajitas only took about 20 minutes from prep to table.  You can also look at adding other "Mexican" spices to this mix and really bring out some great flavors.  Such as Paprika and Cayenne pepper. Hope you all enjoy!

Paleo Orange-Rosemary Chicken

Its Friday so here is another quick Paleo meal that was super easy to knock out.  The prep was fast the longest step in the process is the baking, which was really only about 30 minutes.  You can try some experiments with the tomatoes that I thought of after dinner, of adding fresh basil to them or possibly using them with some mozzarella.  Let me know if you tried them and how they worked out.  Also, you may want to think about cutting the tomatoes in half, I had one explode on me when I stuck my fork into it.   PS word of caution don’t zest to deep into the orange like I did it is more of a bitter taste, a little zest goes a long way.

Paleo Meal - Roasted Red Pepper Turkey Burger and Grilled Asparagus
By Dr. J. J. Gregor DC, DIBAK, DCCN

This was pretty easy Paleo / Primal recipe, the part that took the longest was the roasting of the red pepper.  Ground turkey tends to be bland in my opinion even if you use the higher fat grind, so I herb the heck out of mine.  If the burgers dry out on you, maybe try a home-made marinara sauce type of topping.

1 Red Bell Pepper
2 tsp. Olive oil (for roasting)
2 tbs. Minced Garlic
2 Shallots Diced
1 tbs. Butter
1/2 tsp. Turmeric
2 lbs. Ground Turkey
2 tbs. Oregano
1 tbs. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Coriander
3 tbs. Italian Seasoning
1 Medium Egg beaten
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 lbs of Asparagus (trimmed)
1 tsp Garlic
2 tsp. olive oil Preheat oven to 500 degrees F, lightly coat the pepper in oil and roast for approx. 30 min. turning every 10 min.
Remove the pepper when all the skin is wilted and loosely wrap in aluminum foil until cool enough to handle.
