Fire Roasted Bacon Meatloaf

I got this meatloaf recipe from http://civilizedcavemancooking.com./ This is so yummy! I've always loved meatloaf, but I never thought of putting things like tomatoes and peppers and bacon in it! The flavor is out of this world! Don't let its looks fool you!

Fire Roasted Bacon Meatloaf

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs grass fed ground beef (original recipe called for only one, but I think 2 works better)
• 1 lb bacon, chopped
• 14 oz can of fire roasted tomatoes
• 1 onion, minced
• 1 bell pepper, minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 tbsp oregano
• 1/2 tbsp sea salt
• pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 400. Mince your veggies and add everything into a large bowl. Use your hands to mix well and ensure even distribution of ingredients. You can form a loaf and put it in a bread pan, or just put it into a glass pyrex dish, which is what I did. You could even make it into meatballs.

Bake for an hour and make sure it's cooked through, especially the bacon. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before you serve. Enjoy!

Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are amazingly delicious! I don't think anyone could ever tell that these are not regular unhealthy cookies, but rather made with almond flour and maple syrup. Yum!


Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies


Ingredients:

• 3 cups almond flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Mix dry ingredients in one bowl, then mix wet ingredients in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir well or use an electric mixer to combine. Measure tablespoons of the cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, or until they no longer look wet. I was able to make 2 dozen cookies. Enjoy! (This one even fooled my four-year-old, because I used semisweet chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate chips.)

I adapted this recipe from The Primitive Foodie.
