Day Fourteen of The 21 Day Sugar Detox & Meatballs Recipe

Only one week left on The 21-Day Sugar Detox! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t happy I only have seven days left. I seriously am starting to miss my variety of fruits. Plus, for my birthday, I’ve decided to make paleo friendly Strawberry White Chocolate Bread Pudding. The original was one of my favorites. It should be fun to “paleoize” it. Of course, I’ll put up the recipe when I’m done perfecting it.

What did I eat on The 21-Day Sugar Detox?

If you saw my earlier post, you saw my delicious Roast Beef Po-Boy with Red Onion Gravy. When you say it, be sure to pronounce onion the way we do down the bayou, “onyon”. It’s a lot more fun that way!

For dinner, I cooked Artichoke Leek Fettuccini, and added my Italian Sausage Mushroom Meatballs. I’ll give you the recipe for the fettuccini in tomorrow’s post. Here is the meatball recipe:

Italian Sausage Mushroom Meatballs

1 pound Italian Sausage, bulk

4 large Cremini or White Button Mushrooms, diced fine

1 Egg

¼ cup Nuts of your choice, ground (I use Pecans; but you could use cashews or almonds)

1 Tablespoon Crushed Garlic

1 Tablespoon Organic Brown or Dijon Mustard

1 Tablespoon Coconut Aminos

1 Tablespoon Organic Basil, dried

¼ cup chopped fresh Parsley

¼ teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Once all ingredients are mixed, form meatballs and place on baking pan, covered with parchment paper. Put pan in oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. When meatballs are cooked through and browned, remove from oven. Makes about 15 meatballs.

Extra tip: My favorite way to form meatballs is with an ice cream scoop. Simply scoop out the meat mixture into your hand and roll to form a ball. It dispenses the perfect amount for one meatball.

Also, the 5 winners for the Mikey’s Muffins giveaway have been chosen! I will be emailing the winners tomorrow, with the information on getting your free box of muffins. Thanks to everyone who entered! Don’t forget, if you’d like to order Mikey’s Muffins, enter “paleo cajun lady” in the additional comments box at checkout, to get $1 off your purchase of 3 boxes. Order here.

I’ll see y’all back here tomorrow!

Question of the day: Do you think eating paleo is too expensive?

Wow! I can’t believe I only have eight days left of The 21-Day Sugar Detox. This time has been so much easier than the first time. I haven’t had any of the cravings I had before. I guess it does get easier to stay paleo, after you’ve been doing it for a while. Good to know!

Second, I wanted to give you this recipe for Paleo Cajun Chicken Fricassee. This is one of my favorite Cajun dishes from down on the bayou. I had to create a paleo roux, using only coconut oil and flour, for this recipe. That was not an easy task! I found my roux cooked much faster using these ingredients; so, you need to keep stirring, to keep from burning. You may also need to add more coconut oil to keep your roux moist. Be sure not to add the chicken broth until your roux has reached a dark, chocolate color. Good luck!

Paleo Cajun Chicken Fricassee Recipe chicken fricassee Paleo Cajun Chicken Fricassee Recipe Chicken Fricassee 1024x710 — Paleo Cajun Chicken Fricassee Recipe

Paleo Chicken Fricassee

½ cup Coconut Oil

½ cup Coconut Flour

1 medium Onion, chopped

1 stalk Celery, chopped

3 lbs. Chicken pieces

2 quarts Chicken Broth

Salt and pepper (omit for AIP) to taste

¼ cup Parsley, chopped

2 Green Onions, chopped, green and white parts

1 tablespoon Arrowroot Powder ( unless you’re on The 21-Day Sugar Detox)

Heat oil in a heavy pot. Once oil is hot, add coconut flour; lower heat, and stir constantly, until roux is a rich dark brown color. Be careful not to burn your roux. Add chopped onions and celery. Cook until vegetables are soft. Add chicken pieces and mix well with roux. Add small amounts of chicken broth if your roux starts to burn. Cook chicken slowly over low heat for 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Add chicken broth to cover chicken. Cook until chicken is cooked through and tender. Add parsley, arrowroot powder, and green onions and cook for another 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Serve alone or over cauliflower “rice”.

Serves 6 to 8

Lastly, I wanted to share my latest YouTube video, covering the first week on The 21-Day Sugar Detox, a great new cookbook review, and news about next week’s giveaway. Enjoy!

I’ll be back tonight with my day 11 results!
