Linking up with my friend Rachel at In No Simple Language again today for Paleo Menu Monday Vol. II!
It's been 2 weeks since my last link up, so here's what Paleo dishes I've been making lately...
Marinated Sirloin Steak, Butternut Squash, & Roasted Asparagus
This was our Valentine's night meal! I bought the steak from The Meat House and marinated it using a mixture of steak marinades I made from combining marinades 2 & 3 from this list off of Mark's Daily Apple.
I buy the pre-cut (easier!) butternut squash from the produce section, mix it with diced onion (about half of a large onion), then toss it in some EVOO, put it in a glass baking dish, add 3 cut up cloves of fresh garlic, and a few pads of butter. Bake at 425 for about 45-50 mins & voila! So yummy!
For the asparagus, I just drizzle some EVOO over the asparagus on a tinfoil covered cookie sheet, sprinkle with sea salt and roast at 400 for about 25-30 minutes to desired crunchiness. We like it crunchy around here!
Of course Valentine's Day isn't complete without some chocolate!! So I tried this Primal Fudge recipe I found on Pinterest.
We were big fans & I'll definitely be making this fudge again! Because of the coconut oil, there is a hint of a coconut taste. So if you don't like coconut, you might not like these. But we loved them!

I made this with Andrea for Bachelor Monday Night & it was a big hit!! It was Andrea's first time to have spaghetti squash and she is now a fan! Pretty easy, too! I only sprinkled the top with a bit of parm to keep it as Paleo (no dairy!) as possible.
If you've never cooked a spaghetti squash, you can read up on how to here.

These are another Pinterest find! I made them last night with some Cajun Chicken we picked up from The Meat House (can you tell we like that place!? ;)) and B and I both really liked them!
Disclaimer - they do have a little bit (tbsp and a half) of brown sugar, which is not Paleo, but I did include it. It could have easily been left off & I think they would still be delish!!

Another Pinterest success!! We are big fans of breakfast for dinner around here! The girls and I made these for Bachelor Monday Night & I made them again for dinner last night. We made them sans blueberries & served them with some eggs & turkey bacon the first time! Last night, I added the blueberries, same sides. YUM!

Alright, that's all I've got for ya today! What's going on your menu!?

All great ideas! I've never tried the spagetti squash but I'm about to go read how to cook it.
And we went to the Meathouse because you recommended and love that place! We just need a grill...badly!
I've made those crash sweet potatoes....so good!! Also, that first meal looks delicious. I want a steak for dinner now :)
