In the beginning, we kept it pretty simple with lean protein (mostly chicken, and pork, and occasionally adding ground beef as I learned recipes to season it), veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, pea pods, and cabbage), and healthy fats (avocado, olives, and coconut oil). After a while, I would use Google to find compliant recipes to replace some of the good ol' standard meals we used to eat before the transition. Lately, we seem to make the same things....stir fry (coconut aminos have become my best friend, and is a compliant replacement for soy sauce- which is also bad for thyroid function), chicken with sweet poatotes and green apples, mustard chicken, and of course the basics of chicken, a veggie and maybe a sweet potato.
So yesterday, I Googled a compliant recipe for Chicken Pot Pie....one of our favorites pre-AIP; and I dare say that I found an awesome replacement that is completely yummy....the hubby even approved! When I found this recipe, Paleo Chicken Pot Pie (AIP) by Gutsy By Nature, I was so excited because I had just gotten my order of Cassava flour and I could now try it out!
I have to say the recipe is simple, and it contains items we keep in the pantry on a regular basis; and now Cassava Flour will be a new staple in my AIP pantry! It's easy to work with and I've found another recipe for AIP Tortillas that I can't wait to try!! Although, I had a blonde moment and forgot to add the chicken to the veggie mixture before adding the crust on the top....woops! So, I had to take part of the crust off to put the chicken in and it ended up not looking very pretty, but it tasted yummy!
