Paleo French Toast
Mix together
1 egg
2 Tbsp flax meal/ground almonds
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp raisins (optional)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp olive or coconut oil
[you can also make this with coconut flour, but use extra 2 Tbsp liquid]
We then pour it into a shallow 'lasagne' dish and microwave for 1 minute - if it isn't set, cook a little longer.
My son makes this with ground almonds without raisins, and tops it with a little maple syrup.
I prefer it with flax meal and topped with butter, which melts in.
It really does smell like French toast (eggy bread)

Honey mustard chicken - a review
I found a recipe for Honey mustard chicken on Paleononpaleo and thought I should try it and then review it.
We have tried a couple of different recipes for honey mustard chicken as it is a simple and tasty meal.
This recipe uses oil to coat the chicken and so makes a less 'gloopy' mixture - it isn't 'Chicken Tonight'!
This recipe says to marinade it for 4 hours plus, but that wasn't going to happen! I think I managed 30 minutes.
I always chop my chicken into cubes, about an inch square, as it makes it easier to serve them. This does mean that the meat is well covered with the sauce.
The recipe didn't say how long to cook it for, but I would normally cook a chopped chicken casserole for about 45 minutes.

I removed the chicken from the marinade and there wasn't a lot of sauce left - maybe 3 spoonfuls.
It didn't seem worth boiling this down, as there wasn't a lot left, although it was quite runny, so we just spooned it over our vegetables.

Menu planning 7 - 13 October
How come it's Monday evening again?
That might have something to do with getting a new car battery, visiting the mobile library, church coffee shop and a sixth form open evening!
I had intended to put some some recipes during the week, but somehow time just slips away
So this week's menu
Monday - Spice it up salmon
Tuesday - Caramel apple pork chops
Wednesday - Honey mustard chicken
[I intend to do a review of this, as mine doesn't tend to turn how the recipe implies!]
Thursday - Shepherd's pie
Friday - Coconut curry pollack
Saturday - Bacon wrapped meatloaf
Sunday - Honey apple ginger pork
I will be sharing again on At Home with Mrs M

Monday Spiced up salmon
Tuesday Not stuffed mushrooms
Wednesday Coconut turkey stew
Thursday Shepherd's pie
Friday Fish pie
Saturday Meatza
Sunday Honey, apricot & raisin chicken
