Awesome Curry Burgers

Since we recently took possession of half a grass-fed beef our consumption of ground beef has increased drastically.  So it seemed time to throw up our curry burger recipe.  We have found that getting crazy with spicing your burgers keeps them interesting and you never know what king of glorious combo you will find.  You may want to try things like cacao powder, cinnamon, or virtually anything you might have in the spice cabinet.  This is one of our go to combos.  Of course you can never go wrong throwing some bacon, maybe an egg, avocado mayo, or even fresh ground almond butter on top of these or any burger creation.

The Paleo Tacos were a hit!


We seem to be going back to ThePaleoMom's site again and again for recipes. Her recipes are usually pretty easy to pull together and always delicious.  There are a lot of great Paleo recipe sites out there but ThePaleoMom truly stands out. You can tell from each recipe that she has spent real time refining the recipes and they are tested by her own family.  We tried her Paleo Tacos  tonight and they were a huge hit with me and the kids!  Give the tacos and her other recipes a try and you won't be sorry.

Sesame Tomato Avocado Salad

This is an amazingly simple and delicious Asian style dish.  We saw this on a Japanese cooking show years ago and it was pared with a Japanese curry dish which we have also modified to be Paleo

  • PREP5 mins
  • CHILL20 mins
  • READY IN25 mins
Ingredients:
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 tbps. sesame oil
  • 1 tbps. sesame seeds
  • 1 tbps. rice vinegar

Directions:
  1. Mix sesame oil, sesame seeds, rice vinegar together and set aside. 
  2. Cut tomato in 1/2 inch slices and avocado 1/2 inch slices place on large plate 
  3. Drizzle tomato and avocado with sesame oil mix and refrigerate  for 20-30 mins.
NOTE: Sesame seeds and sesame oil are avoided by some in the paleo community.  While they have some negatives in terms of omega-6 concentration and mild anti-inflammatory properties they also have decent nutrient density.  We recommend using these items in moderation and we try to keep our dishes with sesame to once a week.
