Basil is helping type the post today (he keeps laying on the keyboard, so the going is slow, haha). We decided to try to make "Chan Chili" which I found on the Crossfit Journal, but since Basil and I don't do the Zone diet, we just decided to "wing it" on the measurements.
We started by browning one package of ground beef in the skillet. It was definitely NOT as thawed as I had hoped it would be, so it took a little longer than expected.
After that, I put the beef into a bowl and added a bit of coconut oil to the skillet. Between the coconut oil and the grease left from the meat, it was perfect to saute 2 cut-up zucchinis and a hefty cup of red onion. (probably closer to a cup and a 1/2). Like I said, my measurements are rough- just add however much tastes good to you!
I added the veggies to the meat.
Then I added about a can and a half of black olives for some healthy fat. (I love olives, therefore whenever I use them, the recipe turns out to be primarily olives).... what can I say? It takes all my willpower to actually DO paleo, so therefore the paleo foods I like get eaten A LOT. Add 1.5 cups of salsa, and enjoy!
Super easy and delicious!!! Even Basil wanted some! (I resisted to the urge to give in to his every whim since onions aren't good for doggies). I am going to tupperware a serving and take some for dinner at the gym tonight too!
