Those are neat! I have a print out for if I'm cooking enough to do more than my weekly "two meals" and eat leftovers.

Primal Hummus:

Primal Hummus (Zuchinni Hummus)
So for all you Hummus lovers, here is a replacement that honestly tastes better in my opinion. This is absolutely amazing, I have used it on breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. Enjoy
Ingredients:
2 peeled and cut zucchini
3/4 cup of tahini
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/2 cup of lemon juice
4 cloves of garlic
2.5 teaspoons of sea salt
1/2 tablespoon of ground cumin

Steps
(Be afraid this is very labor intensive, don't work too hard)
Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender
Blend thoroughly
Enjoy

Do you have any super good roasted chicken recipes? I'm getting back into chicken

 

[big brown horse]

Check out the nourished kitchen link, she has some great recipes and techniques for roasting.

I usually roast a chicken every other week and use the bones for a slow cooked broth. Usually it is just garlic, sea salt and cracked black pepper...tonight it is chili rubbed roast chicken, see above.

I did, nummy to the sour cherry duck!!

I'm already planning pulled chicken pita sandwhiches w/ a dressing of hummus & chopped tomatoes. Mmm, pulled chicken quesadillas with tons of salsa and avocado!
