Thriving Without: Carrots

I'm a Christian wife & homeschooling mama, saved by faith through grace. I changed my family's diet from SAD (Standard American Diet) to healthy, delicious & nutritious traditional foods. I've recently discovered there's a name for the way that I eat. It's called Primal or Paleo (I like the diet and think of the men and women who worked hard from sunup to sundown, constantly on the go, eating meat, berries they picked, cheese they made. I do not believe in evolution). No grains, legumes, refined sugars, and no/limited dairy.

Roast Beast & Carrots

I put a (mostly) grass-fed cow roast in the crockpot with carrots, salt & pepper, and water. For some reason, it turned out dry. So I sliced it up and put it in the fridge.
The next day, I fried them and the carrots in coconut oil. DELICOUS!!!!! It was tender (I think it soaked up the oil) and with the crispy outside, just perfect. Coconut oil fixes everything!

Halloween Olive Thing

I was having a craving for Olives and was hungry, so I threw some Kalamata olives, olive oil & garlic into the mini food processor and whipped up Olive Dip or "Olive Thing", as I texted Holly. Heehee. It's yummy, and I dipped my organic baby carrots in it.
It's a hand! Coming out of the dirt! (E1 saw the hand, too, while I was taking the picture, so I know it's not just me ;)
