The Hubs was a baking and chicken-smoking master today!! <3
He started with Paleo Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies from the preppy paleo.
He chose to add shredded coconut and chocolate chips. We decided it would also be delicious with pecan pieces. The cookies turned out fluffy and cake-like, which is utterly amazing to me since they have no flour or even flour-like substance in them!!
The ones in the front are the pumpkin breakfast cookie Mmm Mmm Mmm
Since he had the oven on I jumped at the chance to whip up the Paleo Parents newly-shared recipe Chewy Molasses & Ginger Cookies. Umm, yes, please.
The batter was super easy to make - made them entirely in the food processor
I went out to run errands but the Hubs was sweet enough to not only make & bake the cookies for me but also remembered to take pictures!! That’s love, baby.
As if that wasn’t enough already … we had bought a chicken from the market yesterday so he could try his hand at smoking. He wants to smoke our Thanksgiving turkey this year but wanted to start small. Well, it was a huge success and completely delicious!
Some coarse sea salt, black pepper, and poultry seasoning on the outside. KerryGold butter under the skin and …
VOILA!
I made mashed cauliflower garlic fauxtatoes (not pictured) and we feasted!
