Lamb Pot Pie

Leftover Lamb Stew (recipe below)
2 Super Easy Pie Crusts (recipe below)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out one pie crust round and place into a large deep dish pie pan or casserole dish. Fill with leftover Lamb Stew. Roll out second pie crust and lay over the top. Crimp or fold edges to seal the stew into the pie. Cut a few slashes across the top of the pie. Bake until crust is brown and crispy and filling is bubbling, approximately 30-45 minutes.

Lamb Stew

1-2 lb Stew Meat cubed (lamb or other meat works)
3 T. flour or thickener
1 large onion chopped
2 T. Oil or butter to cover bottom of pan
1 lb cubed carrots
8 small potatoes cubed
2 qt. Beef Broth (I make mine just like my Chicken Broth, below, just use beef bones/parts instead)
10 oz fresh or frozen corn
10 oz fresh or frozen green beans
10 oz fresh or frozen green peas

Dust cubed meat with thickener. Heat large pot and add in oil/butter, then onion and floured meat. Brown then add in carrots and potatoes. Cover with beef broth and simmer and stir occasionally until broth thickens and carrots and potatoes have cooked through. Add corn, green beans, and peas. Simmer on low until remaining veggies are cooked. Use leftovers in pot pie recipe above.

Super Simple Pie Crust

1 cup flour
1 stick cold butter (cubed)
1 tsp. sea salt
2 T. ice water

Mix all ingredients (except ice water) in food processor until pea-size. Add in the ice water and process until it forms a ball. Entire recipe takes only a minute or two from start to finish. The ball of pie dough should be formed into a disk and wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated or frozen. 

Healthy Breakfast Burrito

Using healthy ingredients to make your breakfast burrito can give you all the flavor without all of the sodium and grease. The ingredients can vary, but here is recipe for the one I made this morning:

1 spelt or sprouted grain tortilla
2 scrambled eggs
4 T prepared organic guacamole
1 T raw goat milk cream cheese, but a good plain yogurt or cream cheese will do
2-4 T homemade picante sauce

Warm tortilla, layer eggs, guacamole, cheese, and picante sauce on top and wrap. You have all of your essentials... protein, whole grain, healthy raw calcium source, and fruit/veggies... good fats. Perfect Breakfast! *I will be posting the recipes for the Raw Goat's Milk Cream Cheese & the homemade Picante Sauce.

Bright Green Tropical Smoothie

This recipe makes 4 smoothies, enough for my whole family.

2 cups fresh spinach
1 can or 2 cups fresh or frozen pineapple (w/juice)
1/2 can organic coconut milk
4 medium frozen bananas
3 T organic coconut oil
2 droppers liquid stevia (I use lemon)
Ice

Blend Well and enjoy this healthy version of a Pina Colada!

Meatballs

3 lbs ground meat (any combination)
1/2 cup fresh whole grain bread crumbs
1 small yellow onion (grated)
3 tsp garlic powder
2 T Italian Seasoning (dried)
1-2 tsp Sea Salt
4 eggs
2 cups of "mashed" vegetables (any veggies, I use leftovers like broccoli, spinach, sweet potato, carrots...)

Mix all ingredients well in a large bowl. Form into small 1.5" balls. Bake on cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
These meatballs are great for spaghetti and meatballs, meatball sandwiches, or (my favorite) added to my Vegetable Soup (below and pic.). This recipe makes a lot of meatballs, approximately 60-80 (depending on the size you make). We usually eat half and freeze half.
