Paleo Key Lime Pie

What you will look like when eating this pie

I am a Key Lime Pie fanatic. The more tart, the better! Last time I ate Key Lime Pie my stomach hurt for the next 6 hours because of the dairy. I just made the following Primal Key Lime Pie and it is cooling as I write this!


Pie Crust:
1.5 cups sliced almonds
4 pitted dates
1 Tbsp coconut oil


Put all ingredients into a food processor and blend until just short of nut butter. My food processor broke recently, so I used my Magic Bullet and it turned out just fine. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees, grease pie pan with coconut oil, and dump pie crust "paste" into the pan. Spread/mush it around with your fingers to flatten it out. Bake for 6-8 minutes until just a tad golden.

Filling:
Key Limes are REALLY little, so I used regular limes instead.


4 tsp lime zest
1/2 cup lime juice
3 Tbsp honey
3 eggs
1 cup Coconut Milk (in the can)
2 Tbsp coconut flour


Whisk everything together and pour into pie pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. It should be "set" and not jiggly in the middle. Let it cool and, if you can stand the wait, put in fridge to eat the next day.

Perfection!!

***Update: This Key Lime Pie recipe is AMAZING!!! Just the right blend of tart and sweet- the dates in the crust make it slightly sweet, and the filling is super tart- yum...

Paleo Chicken Alfredo

Voila!

When I first saw this recipe, I thought "There is no way. I mean, Alfredo sauce is super creamy!" I was WRONG!! Granted, it's not exactly like Alfredo sauce, but it was pretty freaking good.  I found Kelp noodles at Natural Grocers (Guadalupe and 39th) but I'm sure you can get them at any Whole Foods-type store. 

Taken from The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf

Use kelp noodles but if you cannot find them where you live, use spaghetti squash as an alternative. However, there will be much less sauce with spaghetti squash.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb chicken breast
• 1 12oz package of kelp noodles
• 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 2 tsp tarragon
• 1 cup cashews
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp mustard powder
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/8 tsp paprika

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the olive oil to a large skillet. Saute the garlic over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes, then add to the skillet and cook until all sides are brown.
2. Rinse and chop the kelp noodles. Add them to the skillet along with the tarragon, cover and cook on low for 30 minutes. Then, pour the liquid from the skillet carefully into a small container for use in the sauce.
3. Add the cashews, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, salt, pepper, and paprika to a blender. Cover and blend into a powder. Add the reserved pan juices slowly, blending into a thick sauce. You'll have to use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender periodically. Add the juices until the mixture reaches the desired consistency.
4. Add the sauce to the skillet, then mix well. Cover and continue to cook for 10 minutes longer, until the kelp noodles have become tender.

Hilly Fartleks!

Go Cassie Go!

Have you ever done Fartleks (or Indian Runs)? It's when everyone runs in a line and the last person sprints to the front of the line. Usually this is done around a track or field, but in Relentless Bootcamp we take it up a notch!


The Barton Hills Crew not only did Fartleks up a crazy steep hill, but they did it with a 6lb. MedBall! Can you say "Hardcore"??!!

At the top...whew!
