Oh dear, it's deer!

Dinner last night was a triumph by the husband. A meal centered around the deer he shot in September...that I actually liked!

Spicy almond crusted deer blackstrap medallions, half a sweet potato, half an avocado and some sautéed broccoli I and Brussels sprouts.

To make the deer:

Ingredients
• 1 deer blackstrap (for 2 people)
• almond meal
• Johnny's seasoning salt (this is not fully paleo and you could easily sub your own favorite spice mix + salt to taste)
• cayenne pepper (to taste)
• bacon grease (or your preferred cooking oil)

Directions
Slice blackstrap into medallions about 1 inch thick. Place in a plastic bag with enough almond flour to coat, plus desired seasonings. Shake to coat well. Heat oil in a skillet, place medallions in skillet. Then leave them alone until you see the blood start to rise to the top of the meat - about 3 minutes (gross I know, that's why the Mr. cooks this meal). Flip and cook an additional couple of minutes. Really just a couple, like 2 or 3, you do not want to overlook!

Enjoy! (and remember to thank the husband for being a good hunter)

A holiday treat that is Paleo (and not meat)!

I know the holidays are here when Trader Joe's brings back their seasonal Vanilla & Cinnamon Black tea! Warm, slightly spicy with the essence of holiday sweetness, it's my Christmas in a mug!

Luckily, it's just tea and spices, no sweeteners in sight. So I'm declaring it Paleo approved and drinking it to my heart's content!
