Elk Stroganoff

Jimminy CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

It's right around the corner! Booyah!! I love the holidays. Cooking delicious meals, spending time with your closet loved ones and decorating of course Plus its my sister's 21st birthday this year, and that means my birthday is 7 days later. And that's the most exciting! I already put up a little Christmas tree today. Its so cute! This week is Thanksgiving and what's everyone up to?! We are going to go spend some time out at my parents house and eat some amazing food. I'm making a few paleo dishes for Scott and I so we can try and stay good.

It's raining cats and dogs here in Grants Pass. Such a soggy waffles morning, but I got my workout in! Laying in the bed listening to the rain was definitely not a motivator this morning. Anywho, kitchen is coming along, slowly but surely. Thanks to Scott and Mike this last weekend we got it all painted. Makes the world of a difference! I love it! It had motivated me to finish the doors, but that's still a huge project. Ugh.

Rogue is 4 months old this week. CRAZY!! He got his last set of shots this afternoon and he is ready to see the world. So happy that I don't have to worry about him coming down with the plague and whatnot. He needs puppy school. I need to sign us up for that ASAP. He gets a little crazy...

Tried out this recipe and it turned out tasty!

Stroganoff

2 tbsp ghee
1 yellow onion diced
1 cup of sliced white mushrooms
1 lb ground meat ( I used elk, obviously, but you could use anything)

2 tbsp of tomato paste
2 tsp thyme
2 tsp rosemary
4 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp arrowroot
1 1/2 cup beef stock
2/3 cup canned coconut milk
salt & pepper
cauliflower mashers

 

In a large fry pan heat ghee to medium and add your onions, garlic and mushrooms. Saute until soft and caramelized. Once this has cooked down for a bit remove and set aside. To the same skillet add your ground meat. Once this has cooked until hardly any pink is left add your thyme, rosemary and tomato paste. Stir well to incorporate spices. Sprinkle arrowroot powder over meat mixture and stir to combine until arrowroot is completely mixed in. Add beef stock and stir to mix in. Sauce will begin to thicken as it comes to a simmer. Stir back in your sauteed onions and mushrooms then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a couple minutes. Stir in the canned coconut milk and serve over your cauli mashers!
