I LOVE Italian food and I LOVE spaghetti!  This totally cured my craving and it was so filling and healthy!
 
"Spaghetti" with Meat Sauce
 
2 T EVOO
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup yellow onion, chopped fine
1 cup zucchini, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cups mushrooms
1 lb grass-fed ground beef
1 lb no casing Italian Sausage
28 oz organic crushed tomatoes
28 ounces organic whole peeled tomatoes
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
2 T Oregano
1 T Basil
1 T black pepper
 
Place the EVOO in the bottom of the crockpot and turn it on low
 
Chop all the veggies and add to the Crockpot
 
In a large skillet, brown the Italian Sausage and ground beef until it has minimal pink.  DO NOT over cook where it is all brown and crumbly...remember...it is about to get slow cooked! :)  Add the meat to the Crockpot.
 
Add all the remaining ingredients and give it a few stirs to incorporate all the flavors!
 
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. 
 
 
Serve over steamed Spaghetti Squash and enjoy!

Mango Salsa over Rainbow Trout

I love trout....when I can't taste it!  I am not a "fishy" kind of person!
 
This is something you will love!
 
Mango Salsa over Rainbow Trout
 
1 16 oz can diced tomatoes
1 jalapeno, seeded (or not if you like hot!)
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
2 T fresh Cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 mango, diced
1-2 Fillets of Rainbow Trout
 
Place the trout on a piece of foil and turn the grill on low
 
Place the trout on the foil on top of the grill and cook until flaky
Remove from heat and let it rest while you make the salsa
 
Place everything together in a bowl and mix thoroughly. 
You might want more Cilantro, depending on your taste buds! :)
 
Serve on top of trout with any Paleo veggies and enjoy!
