Paleo Carrot Cake with Maple Cream Cheese frosting

Paleo Carrot Cake with Maple Cream Cheese frosting

I am sad to say this was not so great. I made it for Clyde's birthday cake. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I would not make this again. I only used 8 oz of cream cheese, but it seriously needed to be blended with something else, like butter or cream. I really don't like it on its own, even if it does have maple syrup in it. The sweetness is too little to notice for me anyway. I used regular pitted dates for this too, not medjool (it doesn't call for medjool, I'm just recording what I did.) I think I'd try the elana's pantry recipe next if I want another carrot cake someday.

Eggroll in a bowl / Cabbage and pork

http://www.mostlyhomemademom.com/2014/07/eggroll-in-bowl.html

I put in much less soy sauce than called for, and added pinto beans  and halved the meat (since I only had 1/2 lb. It was good. I served it with rice. Ila ate only rice, and Clyde ate nothing at all though:)

Enchilada Stuffed Peppers

This is from Meals Made Simple, p152. The filling is fantastic. This is a great way to use up the leftover sweet potato bits after spiralizing for the arrabbiata recipe. You can just make the filling and serve it with tortillas and avocado.  That is more kid friendly and faster too, when needed.


Sausage and Peppers Arrabbiata

This is on p156 of Meals Made Simple. I adore this recipe. It also makes a large amount, enough to feed our family plus leftovers for 4 lunches for me. I used mild sausage and 1/4 tsp of red pepper.
