Basil-Ginger Pork from Weeknight Paleo

By

We had the tremendous opportunity to be on Robb’s podcast this last week to discuss our farming enterprise and some of the lessons learned at this early stage of production. Happily, we can announce that our third cookbook is out of production and set to hit book shelves next week. Weeknight Paleo is our best effort to bring the reader into our kitchen amidst the craziness of raising two kids, moving, starting a farm and putting a book together.

Life is about managing the curveballs on top of career, family and finding time for leisure. This is one of our favorite recipes from the new book and one that we often double or triple to prepare for a busy week. Until our pigs are ready for a trip to the butcher, we’ve been getting our pork from the wonderful folks down at White Oak Pastures. Will Harris and his family are a Savory Institute hub in the US and doing amazingly regenerative things on a huge scale.

Basil-Ginger Pork

Ingredients:
1 pound ground pork
1/4 cup coconut aminos
2 tablespoons chili paste
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 cups riced cauliflower
2 green onions, sliced on an angle
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup loosely packed Thai basil, coarsely chopped
1 head Bibb lettuce or cabbage

Instructions:
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and cook until somewhat browned, 3-5 minutes.
2. Add the aminos, chili paste, sesame oil, rice vinegar, fish sauce, ginger and cauliflower, stir to combine well.
3. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for 7 to 8 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and cauliflower to soften, stirring as needed.
4. Mix in the green onions, mint and basil and cook for 2 minutes longer. Serve atop lettuce leaves and garnish with additional chili paste/sauce to taste.

The making of this cookbook has gotten us through many busy weeks feeding our family. If you’re feeling spunky, we certainly would love for you to grab a copy today. Whether you’re a busy family of four like us or just trying to manage your workweek and make better choices in the kitchen, Weeknight Paleo will deliver time saving and tasty ideas for you kitchen.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Evernote Review: Your Digital Organization Hub

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
