So, I gather that by now you should know how much me and my husband eat meat. Ever since we started Paleo, we can never get enough of it! Recently, I also decided to embrace my Asian roots and fell in love with 99 Ranch Market! I was kind of surprised when I looked it up on Yelp and discovered they received 4 stars! Whoa! Anyway, I went for the first time to buy groceries there and WENT CRAZY! (You know you’re getting older when you get excited about groceries!) I bought some pork spare ribs and this is how they turned out!

Not bad looking, right?!?

We also decided to start experimenting with different ways of cooking our meats because one can only pan fry and BBQ so much! lol. We decided to experiment with our broiler. (Yes, there is a bottom part to your oven that is usable! Ha!) I never actually used it before and neither had my family. So..needless to say..my husband came to the rescue!

It was actually an easy meal to make! Our broiler is my new best friend!

Recipe:

Marinade: sea salt, cumin, pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper, olive oil, & minced garlic

1. Warm up Broiler to 525 degrees F.

2. Mix meat with marinade in large bowl.

3. Spread meat out on baking sheet.

4. Cook for 15-20 minutes depending on how you prefer your meat. *be careful with the extremely hot temperature of the broiler!*

5. Eat & serve with your favorite sides!

Today I..thought I’d share the last bit of recipes we enjoyed this summer. (Excuse me as I wipe my tears) I’m sad to see you go summer, but excited for fall and a new set of warm and delicious creations! 🙂

Omelet: First cook chopped onions, garlic, and mushrooms in pan. Then, add egg & coconut milk mixture. Cover pan with lid and let cook for 2-3 minutes, then fold over. Viola!

Kale: Chop kale and saute on pan with a dash of sea salt & pepper. Yum!

Avocados: slice

Ground Turkey: Cook onions, garlic in pan until onions are a little transparent. Add ground turkey along with any spices you like. I used salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika. (Really starting to love Paprika!) Cut up some peppers and use as little cups (or you can you lettuce wraps). Then, throw some tapatio or tabasco on it and you’re good to go!

Vegggies: Using a cast iron grill, throw veggies on with a little salt & pepper and whatever spices you like. Grill on each side until cooked to your liking. My husband likes them a little crunchy so I only let them cook about 2 minutes on each side.

Pork: Marinate with salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, garlic powder. Throw on skillet and cover so the inside can cook. Will take at least 5 minutes, but no longer than 15 minutes. I usually just cut into the center until I see very little pink ( and I mean very light shade of pink) and then serve! I tend to not overcook my pork because it tastes really dry to me after that. But, however you like your meat, do that!
