Coconut Fried Chicken

Skinless, boneless chicken, about 12 small pieces

1-2 C shredded, unsweetened coconut

1/3 C coconut flour

1/4 C arrowroot powder

1 tsp. of each spice: sea salt, black ground pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground sage, dried thyme, and dried oregano

1 T paprika

1/4 C water

2 C unsweetened coconut milk

about 1/4 C coconut oil and/or olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix coconut flakes, pepper and paprika on a plate and set aside. Combine coconut flour, arrowroot powder and remaining spices... mix well. Mix in water and slowly add coconut milk with a fork to make a smooth batter (you may not use all the coconut milk to a good batter-like consistency). One at a time, dip each chicken into the batter and arrange on a tray. Really coat the pieces well, and try to use all the batter. Now, dredge chicken in the shredded coconut mixture, and coat each piece well. Heat oil in a larger skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot (make sure oil is hot)... add chicken pieces, careful not to over-crowd the pan. Cook until golden brown on each side (about 2 minutes). Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven, and cook for about 10-15 minutes.

Paleo Pizza

1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup chopped pecans
3 egg whites
1 cup organic marinara sauce
2 tbsp olive oil

Veggies:
Sweet Peppers (you can get a big bag from Costco)
Small Sliced Mushrooms
Spinach
Sliced Tomato

Meats:
Mild Italian Sausage
Hot Italian Sausage
Ground Beef
Bacon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  
Take Italian sausages out of tubes and brown with ground beef. Cook bacon how you like.
Mix the almond flour, pecans, and egg whites in a bowl until you have created a moist batter.  Spread batter onto a pizza pan, oiled pan.  (I would recommend spreading 1/4 of an inch thick or less for a thin, well cooked crust)  And cook crust for about 5 minutes and flatten back out and pop bubbles and then evenly distribute marinara sauce over the crust. 
Place veggies and meat on pizza and cook in oven for approximately 60 minutes or until crust appears to be thoroughly cooked and firm.
