*Drooling*
Oh. Sorry. That was just me thinking about this meal. It took a little longer to make than I thought but once I continue to make it (and I will) it will get faster.
I'm sure after you read the ingredients (bacon grease, in particular) you are wondering how this could possibly be healthy, gravy made out of bacon bits and bacon grease?? Well, I really couldn't say it better myself so here you go... "Nutrition-wise, we know that bacon is not the villain that it’s made out to be. Dietary
saturated fat and cholesterol
are good for us, and not just in moderate amounts. The stigma against saturated
fat and cholesterol has strong ties and even some people in the Paleo circles
still fall in the trap of fearing fat and seeking lean meat as their main
source of energy. It’s important to keep in mind that fat is a great source of
fuel and that it’s excess protein consumption that should be feared more than
excess fat consumption."- http://paleodietlifestyle.com/for-the-love-of-bacon/
What is poutine?? As I understand, the basic recipe is: french fries that are covered
with brown gravy, and topped with fresh cheese curds. For those in the Central Illinois area, I would say its a version of the horseshoe. Yeah. It's that good too. Give it a try let me know what you think!
PREP: 15 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Total: 40 minutes
Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS
1 sweet potato, cut lengthwise into preference sized french fries
6-8 strips of bacon, cut into 1 inches pieces
1 head of cauliflower, stem removed, cut into small florets
1/2 cup canned coconut milk
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 shallot, thinly sliced
pinch of dried thyme
pinch of black pepper
pinch of sea salt
1 tablespoon fat of choice
Coconut Oil (from a tub or spray)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Cut your sweet potato in half lengthwise, then slice the sweet potato
into 1/2 inch strips then cut those in half
Spray or toss your fries in your coconut oil (I put about a TBS of coconut
oil in a microwave bowl and melted the oil for 25 seconds (or until it is all
liquid-y) and tossed the sweet potatoes in it) Add or take out as necessary
Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet and line sweet potatoes on it
so they are not overlapping
Then remove your stem from your cauliflower and roughly chop
cauliflower into small florets. Cheese curd size is good
Place in a glass baking dish and drizzle a tablespoon or so of your fat
of choice (I did coconut oil, it worked beautifully)
Place cauliflower as well as sweet potatoes in the oven to cook for
20-25 minutes (your cauliflower may take longer)
While the those items are in the oven, add your diced bacon into a
skillet over medium heat
Use a wooden spoon to break up the bacon and help cook on all sides
Once bacon is done cooking, remove from heat and remove bacon with a
slotted spoon and place on a paper towel
Pour excess bacon fat into a jar (or whatever you have that will work) leaving
2 tablespoons behind in your skillet for the gravy
Place skillet back over low heat, add your coconut milk and almond
butter then some thyme and black pepper- Careful, your coconut milk may pop and
get ya
Let the coconut milk come to a slight boil then use your spoon to mix together
and begin to cook down
Once the mixture begins to thicken, add your bacon back to the gravy
and remove from heat
Once your sweet potatoes and cauliflower are done cooking, place in a
bowl or on a plate, top with gravy, and eat!
Enjoy!!
--All the Best
INGREDIENTS
Form your meatloaf’s? meatloaves? (anywho…) into oval shaped balls and place on one large
pan (I doubled the recipe, so I was able to make 4 small loaves) 
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is completely cooked
through- use a temperature gauge (your chicken needs to be a minimum of 165 degrees) or cut one of them to see if they're done (if the juice runs clear, its done)
