Massive Pot Roast

Here we go.  This is another in the pot roast series.  While the slow cooker is very handy, pot roast takes half the time and is just as tasty.

This week started with 2 strips of bacon and 1/2 of a red onion in the bottom of the pot.  Additional ingredients:

Golden Beet
Japanese Sweet potato
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Kale
Coconut milk
Tomato sauce
1 3/4 lb grass feed beef shoulder roast
black pepper
turmeric (do you say tuR mer ic   or Tu mer ic ???  I prefer the former, but maybe I'm wrong)
cayenne

Ready for the oven - 325 for about 3 hours

Attempting paleo banana bread

Here is an experiment.  I bought 7 lbs of coconut flour, and here is the first recipe.  I scanned the Internet for recipes, and then, of course, did something different.

First, I only had one banana instead of 3 recommended.  Second, there is absolutely no way I would add a full cup of brown sugar into a single loaf of bread.  Ridiculous!  Third, I had some Kefir, so I used that to help when mixing the dough.

Warning - this tastes pretty good, but is quite dense and maybe a little dry.  Next time, I may try it with 2 bananas.

Ingredients:
2 cups coconut flower
1/2 cup chopped cashews
1 banana
2-3 tbsp Cacao powder (which is a lot like cocoa powder)
3 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla (I forgot to add this)

Banana and brown sugar - about 3 tbsps

Ready for the oven - 350 for 25 - 30 minutes.

Eggs sticking to the side of the pan?

Do you ever have problems with eggs sticking to the side of the pan?  I've found the perfect solution:

Yet another use for Bacon!

Finished this in the oven.  Vermont raw milk cheddar.

Works with Bratwurst, too!
