Whole30 Day 8: No-Taco Tuesday

Tonight's dinner was inspired by my sister-in-law's take on Non-Taco Tuesday. Check out her instagram and more delicious paleo plates.

• Start with any fresh greens
• Top with fresh or grilled veggies: bell peppers, red onions, zucchini, carrots, broccoli, etc.
• Add seasoned grass-fed ground beef: as you're cooking your beef add cumin, sea salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, etc.
• Top with pico de gallo and guacamole

Super easy and super yum!

Spiced Hot Chocolate

I'm posting this before I've made it.  I think it will be amazing, though.  I'm currently 6 days into a 45-day sugar fast and don't think I should try and justify the chocolate...

My recipe is inspired by Whole Living's Spiced Hot Dark Chocolate.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond, raw whole, or coconut milk
• 1/2 cinnamon stick
• freshly grated nutmeg
• pinch cayenne, +/-
• pinch ground cardamom
• 1 oz dark (>80%) chocolate, chopped

Directions:

1. Bring all ingredients to a simmer.  
2. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 10 minutes.  
3. Whisk in chocolate until smooth and creamy.

Enjoy!
