Tangy Pork Marinade

This was really great.  I went with 1.5 lbs of thin cut boneless pork chops. Brought two to work each day with a bunch of steamed broccoli with lemon juice.

• 1-2 lbs pork
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 scallions (chopped)
• 1.5″ ginger root (grated)

Combine all ingredients and coat pork, well. Marinate for at least one hour and grill it up!  I soaked mine overnight and it was great. Pork was tender and full of flavor. Looking forward to trying it with other meats.

Paleo marinade and mayo…my new favorite.

I grilled some chicken breasts the other night on my beloved grill pan using the following lemon & herb marinade, which I use quite often. Then I just steam a couple heads of broccoli and I have my lunches for the week.

Lemon Herb Marinade

• Juice of one lemon
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper, rosemary & thyme
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 1 Tbl olive oil
• 1 lb chicken breast

Marinate for at least 1/2 hr, then grill.

*Well, today I was craving some mayo. Some cut up chicken breast over a bed of greens, mixed with some good ol’ mayo. So, I whipped this recipe up and I LOVE it!

Paleo Mayo

I used a hand mixer for this to control the emulsion.

• 1 lg egg
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 Tbl apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup ex light tasting olive oil

Blend first three ingredients until frothy, then slowly trickle in the olive oil. Add a couple drops at first, then a slow stream. The mayo will thicken up a little . Add pepper, dill, cayenne, etc to taste. I added just a little pepper and it’s SO yummy!!!!
