Sweet Potato Bacon Kale Hash for One

A single serve Sweet Potato Bacon Kale Hash that is healthy, satisfying, and made in one skillet!
Have it with fried eggs for breakfast or comfort food any time of day. It is grain free, dairy free.
Paleo and Whole30 friendly.
Servings: 1 serving

Ingredients:
– 1 small sweet potato or half of a larger one scrubbed and chopped into small cubes
– 3 slices sugar free nitrate free bacon – cut into bites size pieces
– Generous pinch of fine grain sea salt
– Generous pinch of smoked paprika (you may like a different spice)
– Handful of kale, spinach, or other greens you may like, roughly chopped
– 1 egg
– Extra pinch of salt and black pepper to taste
– Thinly sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions:
1. Heat well-seasoned cast iron skillet, for extra iron if wanted or needed (or stainless steel heavy
skillet) over low to medium heat. Add the bacon pieces.
2. Allow the bacon to cook just long enough to render some fat, then add the chopped sweet
potatoes to the pan and stir to coat with the fat. Sprinkle on a pinch of salt along with the smoked
paprika.  Cover the pan with a cover to allow the potatoes to fry and steam at
the same time (perfect fit not necessary)
3. Cook for about one-two minutes covered, then uncover and stir to prevent burning. Adjust the
heat if necessary, then cover again and cook until the bacon and potatoes are browning and the
potatoes are getting soft.
4. Uncover the skillet and add the chopped kale, or other greens selected. Stir to coat the kale with
bacon fat, add a pinch of salt, then re-cover to allow the kale to cook.
5. While the hash is cooking, you can fry or scramble your egg in a separate pan to serve alongside
the hash. You can use rendered bacon fat for this or another cooking fat of choice.
6. Once the bacon, potatoes and kale, or other greens, are cooked to preference, stir once again and
transfer to a plate to serve! Top with your cooked egg and garnish with green onion and
additional salt and pepper if desired for a final touch. Enjoy!

Paleo Balance Bowls

Ingredients:
– 2 chicken thighs or breasts
– 12 oz chopped Butternut squash (about 2 ½ cups)
– 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons coconut oil
– 6 cups mixed greens
– 1 avocado, chopped
– ¼ cup tahini
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
– 3 tablespoons water
– Salt
– Pepper
– Garlic powder

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place butternut squash on a baking sheet. Toss with 2 teaspoons
of melted coconut oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and  ¼ teaspoon garlic powder. Roast
in the oven for 25 minutes, tossing around half way through.
2. Take your chicken and sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place a large
sauté pan over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and let it heat up for about 30
seconds. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side depending on how thick they
are (If they are thick, I suggest pounding them down a bit so they all have even thickness). Set
chicken aside.
3. In a small bowl combine tahini, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, water, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼
teaspoon pepper and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder. Toss a couple of tablespoons of dressing over
the greens in a large bowl until evenly coated.

pieces. Drizzle more tahini dressing on top and enjoy!

You can follow the above recipe making changes in what you use in the bowl as well. Here are some
options for substitutes to change them up with other ingredients so you have an idea of how
prepping some ingredients and having them in the fridge can make eating Paleo/healthy easier
than you think! This gets increasingly easier as you get used to these simple ideas and then you will be
able to expand on them and more.

Base Options:  Cold or cooked; kale slaw, spinach salad, broccoli cauli slaw, zucchini
noodles (zoodles, there is simple kitchen tool that is cheap and can make these).
Vegetable Topping Options: Any steamed, baked or roasted chopped veggies; seasoned sauteed mushrooms
of any kind, if beans are allowed with your protocols once in a while sprouted black or chickpeas could be
options.

Protein/meat Options: Baked, seared or roasted wild caught salmon; grass fed ground beef, taco seasoned
ground beef or any other flavor you like; BBQ or rotisserie chicken; seared, baked or grilled steak (note: grilling
on charcoal or propane just know that the black char on that or any grilled meat is toxic and I recommend you
do it on other surfaces in consideration of health issues)

Optional Sauces: Any store bought dressing that is clean and made with Olive Oil or Avocado oil (Primal
Kitchen rand has great options if you don’t have time to make any.
