If you don’t like bacon stop reading right now because this chicken recipe has it inside and out!

It also has a lovely lemony stuffing and the good news is that like all my recipes, the stuffing is grain-free and gluten-free. I haven’t made this dish since I changed to a Primal/Paleo lifestyle because, you know, it had a cup full of soft white breadcrumbs. Well, 18 months of cooking without wheat or grainy flour, I’m pretty game for any kind of experimentation. So almond meal came to mind – has the consistency of softish breadcrumbs, doesn’t taste to strong – works with cakes! So why not give it a whirl.

Well the results turned out just yummy and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

I’m loving my new crock-pot/slow cooker which I bought for half price in a recent sale. I’ve used it more times in the past two weeks than I used my old one in the previous two years. Funny how having something shiny and new make you want to use it more!

I love Lamb Shanks and thought I’d adapt my old recipe and give it a whirl. Well the results were outstanding. Melt in your mouth delish, so very yummy!

And the best part was that the lamb shanks I used were huge so we had enough for three meals so we have eating them for the past two nights in a row and the rest is in the freezer for another time. I’m picking that it probably won’t last too long in the freezer!

I’ve also featured this on Gluten Free Wednesdays.

So, who doesn’t love burgers, the ultimate fast food. All that yummy tastiness eaten with your hands – and the first bite where it squishes everywhere, delish! Or if you are a neatnik and don’t go for the ooze, then cut and forking that first bite is just as great.

Just because we are eating healthy whole foods doesn’t mean we have to give them up. We just make them ourselves, and instead of wrapping them in a carb, grain and gluten laden bun, we wrap them in a large lettuce leaf or make our own paleo bun (but that’s for another day).

I totally love them in crispy, iceberg lettuce – give them a try, and I guarantee you’ll be hooked too!
