CREAMY CUCUMBER TAHINI SALAD DRESSING
Detoxinista.com

A creamy vegan dressing that is addictive over any number of veggies.

INGREDIENTS ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
5 tablespoons raw tahini (no added oil)
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped cucumbers (about 4 ounces)
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons water

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Adjust any seasoning to taste, and then chill until ready to serve. Like most dressings, the flavor gets even better the longer it sits, and it also thickens a bit. (Feel free to add a splash of water if you need to thin it out later.) Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

No Tahini is not really Paleo,( no seeds really are) however, it is low in carbs for a dressing/dip and has 2.6 grams of Protein per tablespoon...plus it is high in potassium and contains other vitamins and minerals. Not being a Paleo purist personally, I choose to keep a jar of Tahini in house.

This is a 3 part article written by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD (aka The Paleo Mom) that I found to be quite interesting, perhaps you will as well.

I put a meat order in on Sunday and it arrived this afternoon. I included a stick of pemmican with the order to see if I like it or not. I consider myself adventurous when it comes to trying new foods so I was anxious to try it.

I love it! So does Sadie, but it's all mine...well mostly. It looks like a slim jim but a little fatter around. The texture is soft with chewy bits of jerky in it. Think beef paté with tiny bits of beef jerky in it.

As for taste, it is very mild tasting like a beef paté minus the seasonings. It also has beef tallow. Although it doesn't taste greasy after you've eaten it you can feel it on your lips, but not in a gross way, at least not to me. In fact, I know people who use beef tallow to make chap stick and balms.

The stick I ate today, satisfied my hunger without that overfull filling, and provided me with plenty of energy.

I will definitely include a few sticks of this on my meat orders to have for breakfast along with a few nuts and some berries. It is also available with a little honey and cherries in it, which I may try in the near future. Sorry to gross you out if you hate paté.

The ingredients are: Beef jerky, beef tallow, water, sea salt

This recipe comes from the recipe section on the web site that I order my grass fed meat from. I believe it is from another customer. This recipe is for 6-8 but could easily be halved for those of us with smaller households, or cook the whole thing and have yummy leftovers!
