Here it is folks, the Crossfit Milford Cookbook. I listed everyones name after the title of their recipe. Some of us are busier in the kitchen than others apparently. I was hoping by keeping this a virtual cookbook you could save your own copy to your computer and add recipes as you like. Bon apptit!

Eggplant Pasta - Elisabeth(Modified from Good Eats: The Early Years)2 Servings

1 large eggplant, about 1 poundKosher salt1 tablespoon olive oil teaspoon garlic minced

teaspoon red pepper flakes1 tomato, seeded and chopped1 tablespoon basil chiffonade

Peel the eggplant. Slice the eggplant lengthwise into inch-thick slices. (You can use a mandolin for this.)Place the eggplant on a cooling rack set over the sink and sprinkle generously with kosher salt. Wait 15 minutes, flip, sprinkle again, and wait another 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly under cool water and gently squeeze out excess water. Place on paper towels and pat dry, then cut the slices into inch-wide strips so they resemble linguine.Heat a 10-inch saut pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. When it shimmers, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and toss for ten seconds. Add the eggplant and toss to coast. Add the tomato and toss for 20 seconds. Finish with the basil.The original recipe calls for 3 Tablespoons of heavy cream and topping with breadcrumbs. I left these out and thought it still tasted great!

Paleo Pasta and Sauce - Lee

Slice a whole cabbage into thin strips, steam for 20 mins until soft or steam or bake a spaghetti squash and scrap out the inner contentsThe sauce can come from any jar which lists no sugar/high fructose corn syrup as an ingredient or for the cook in you, you can heat olive oil in a pan, add chopped garlic and onion and cook until very brown, add ground beef/turkey/chicken and when fully cooked add diced tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste for thickening.

Paprika on potato and carrots.Baste 2-3 times while roasting at 350-375 over about 40 minsLeave uncovered, dont overcook meat, last 15 mins add cranberriesMakes 4 servings.I have also used green, yellow, and butternut squash in place of sweet potato.

Grill the chicken breasts. Once cooked, dice into bite size chunks. Meanwhile, saut onion and peppers with olive oil over medium heat in skillet. Add pepper and optional seasonings. Once par-cooked add chicken, keep stirring and cook until peppers are done.Makes enough for 2 with left overs.Variation: cook additional peppers and pair with scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Italian Chicken Paleolithic recipe4 pieces of skinless, boneless chicken2 tbs olive oil2 tabs lemon juice1 clove garlic crushed tsp dried oregano1/8 tsp pepper

Mix all in shallow dish. Add 4 pieces of chicken turning to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 8-12 hours, turning occasionally. One hour before serving, heat

oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with foil, and put chicken on. Put pan in oven, reduce heat to 325 and bake 35-45 mins.

Crock Pot Roast Sharmaine1-1/2 pound chuck roast1 large onion chopped3 large carrots peeled and sliced16 oz can dices tomatoes, undrained

Brown the roast on top of the stove beforehand, on all sides in a little olive oil. Place the onion and carrots on the bottom of the crock pot (youll need at least a 4 quart crock pot for this). Put meat on top and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the tomatoes over all and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

Sauted Scallops with Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Asparagus and Carrots- Sharmaine15-20 medium sized scallops2-3 sweet potatoes cooked and mashedBlanched asparagusBlanched baby carrots3 tbs butter1/3 cup heavy cream (paleo??) cup chicken stock3 tbs white wine2 tbs chopped garlic2 tbs chopped shallots2 tbs chopped chives

Preheat a fry pan to medium/high heat and add 2 tbs of butter. Place scallops into pan and saut them until brown on both sides. Then set aside.Sauce:Deglaze the scallop pan with cup chicken stock and 3 tbs white wine. Cook over medium/high heat until reduced by half. Add garlic, shallots and chives. Mix and cook for 3-5 mins. Add cup heavy cream. Continue stirring until hot then remove from heat. Preheat a saucepan on medium heat; add remaining heavy cream and 1 cup of mashed potatoes. Keep stirring to incorporate them together well. Cook until potatoes and cream have reached the desired consistency and remove from heat. Preheat a fry pan on medium heat. Melt 1 tbs butter and saut blanched carrots and asparagus until fully cooked.Arrange the plates with the sweet potatoes in center, scallops on top and veggies on the edges.

Crockpot Buffalo Chicken - Tricia

Boneless Chicken Breast (can use frozen or thawed) Cut into large chunks. Your favorite Buffalo Sauce. Place raw chicken into crock potDrizzle couple tablespoons of buffalo sauce and toss chicken (just enough to make the chicken slippery)

Cook on HI in Crockpot for approx 2-3 hrs (if using frozen chicken 4-5 hrs). Scoop out - into a separate container most of the water juices that fill the crock pot after cooking. You'll use this later. (Leaving all that water in there will leave you feeling like you could "wring" out the chicken). Use two forks to split up/shred the chicken. Once the chicken is shredded pour in the buffalo sauce and toss. You can add back some of the water juices a little at a time to keep the chicken moist. Continue cooking on low for about another hour, then move to simmering. Great cold or reheated! Use as little or as much chicken as you want, I usually use a family pack of boneless chicken breasts and then there are leftovers! Unless of course, it's for a Crossfit party!

Here is that pumpkin recipe I was telling you about. It makes an excellent side dish for any meal. I usually put onions in it, but I have also thrown in some zucchini and/or mushrooms that I've had lying around.

Pizza Crust- a paleo classic2 cups almond meal2 eggs1 tsp olive oil tsp salt.

Mix all ingredients together to form the dough and roll out on a non-stick pan as thin as possible. Bake crust at 350 for about 15 mins or until slightly browned. Once baked cover with tomato sauce of your choice and any from a million of pizza toppings. You can use goat cheese or real mozzarella, sticking to the 80/20 rule.

SOUPS AND STEWS

Paleo Beef Stew (feeds about 6 people) Carla

2.5 pounds beef stew meat cut up1 lb bag carrots (cut into chunks) 1 onion (cut up how you like it) 4 cloves garlic (minced) 3 stalks celery (cut into chunks) 10 oz. sliced mushrooms (any kind you like) 1/2 bag parsnips (cut into chunks) 2-3 bay leavesBraggs Liquid Aminos (about 2 TBS)

pepper to tasteparsley (fresh or dried) choppedWater/Beef Broth or Red Wine

Prep all above and throw it into a pot. Cover the entire stew with your liking of water/beef broth/red wine. (I did 1/2 water 1/2 red wine). The parsnips take on the consistency of potatoes; you don't feel like you are missing anything. The Braggs Liquid Aminos is a good sub for salt. Men, if you don't have wine, you can always use Guinness. It's good for you.

Crock Pot on low for 4-5 hoursStove top for 2-3 on simmer.

Crock pot soup - LeeChop the following veggies and place them in the crock pot until it is 2/3rds of the way full. Use your own judgment on some of the quantities below it will depend on the size of your crock pot:1 medium onion2-3 garlic cloves1 medium yellow squash1 medium zucchini1 medium eggplant with the skin peeled offHandful of baby carrots2 celery stalks1 large red pepper

Once all veggies are in the pot add:1 16 oz can of diced tomato1 16 oz can of gluten free chicken broth (more broth makes it soupier, personal preference)Then add lots of spices, I use salt, pepper, gluten free chicken bouillon (in the soup isle), any combo spice you may have at home, sometimes cinnamon, curry would be good too. Mix this all really well so all the veggies are coated by spices and the sauce/broth.Take a 2lb package of ground meat (beef/chick/turk) and make mini meatballs and lay them on top of all the vegetables. Cover and set to cook for 4-6 hours depending on how long you will be gone.About one hour before it is due to be done open the lid and sprinkle about 1 tsp of baking soda on top, and gently mix the meatballs and the veggies. The baking soda will cause foaming as it is cutting the acid in the tomatoes.This recipe sounds hard but is so easy, any veggie combination will work but the key is the eggplant as it dissolves over time and thickens the soup. It is a pure protein and carb meal any fat needed has to be added.

Light Vegetable Soup-Sharmaine cup diced onion

1 cup thinly sliced carrots1 cup thinly sliced zucchini2 tsp chopped fresh parsley tsp thyme1/8 tsp pepper2 cups water

In a 1-1/2 quart saucepan, cook onion until translucent; add all other ingredients except water. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about10 mins.

Remove cup soup from pan and reserve; pour remaining soup into blender and process at low speed until smooth. Combine pureed and reserved mixtures in saucepan and cook until hot. Makes 2 servings

SIDE DISHES

This is my favorite side dish! Maria M.

Here is a recipe for brussels sprouts- they don't look pretty but they taste GREAT even my 4yo loves them. Place brussels sprouts on a pan that can go under the broiler. drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic and salt substitute. broil until they start to turn BLACK- not too burned...

Paleo Monster Mash Carla2 heads of cauliflower cut up with stalksHeavy creamSalt and pepper

Boil cauliflower until tender. Then in batches, process down, using a food processor or hand mash. Slowly pour in a little cream to get it to the consistency of mashed potatoes. Repeat until finished, salt and pepper to taste. Youll never need to have mashed potatoes again! Serves 8 can be doubled or halved.

Fall Vegetable Bake-LeePreheat oven to 400Dice the following vegetables and place in an oven safe dish.

1 medium yellow squash1 medium zucchini1 small onion1/3rd of a bag of baby carrots2 cloves garlic

Drizzle with olive oil enough to coat all the veggies. Then drizzle with agave syrup or honey about 1-2 tbs (optional). Season with salt, cinnamon (1/2-1 tsp) and any other spices you like and mix well.Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30-40 mins. Remove the foil mix well and bake for another 20 mins or until all veggies are tender. You can also add 1 diced apple to the mix.This goes really well with any meat or poultry dish.

Grilled Harvest vegetables- Sharmaine1 small cabbage, cored2 tbs olive oil-1 tsp onion powder, optional1/8-1/4 tsp pepper4 medium carrots cut in 1 inch pieces1 small onion cut into wedges pound whole fresh mushrooms1 small green pepper, cut into pieces4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled, optional

Cut cabbage into 6 wedges, spread oil on cut sides. Place cabbage on a piece of heavy-duty foil, about 24 by 18 inch. Sprinkle with onion powder, if desired and pepper. Arrange remaining vegetables and bacon around cabbage. Seal the foil tightly. Grill covered over medium-hot heat for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender, turning occasionally

Pumpkin and Rosemary- Reese and Liz

15oz. can of canned pure pumpkin

1/2 large onion chopped

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1/4 cup coconut milk

1 Tbsp. crushed rosemary

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Chop up the onion and cook in the olive oil until the onion begins to look translucent. Next, add the pumpkin and rosemary into the pan. Heat the pumpkin through and add coconut milk until you've reached the desired consistency. That's about it! Pretty simple recipe and very versatile. It's great as a side for chicken or beef.

SNACKS

Heres my paleo recipe- Tony.

It originally called for 1 cup of protein powder, 3 cups of oats and 1 cup of peanut butter. Obviously I had to modify it.You can probably use any kind of nuts you like but heres what I used.1 cup almonds1 cup pecans1 cup walnuts1 cup macadamia nuts (mine were salted but you should use unsalted)Grind up all 4 cups of nuts so they have the consistency of almond flour. I just threw them in my vitamix blender but I'm sure a food processor would work too.Dump in a Tupperware container or brownie cake pan. Add 1 cup of honey and 1 cup of almond butter. Mix it up well. I throw it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to harden it up some. Now its easier to cut up in bars.

Apple Crunches - Lee1 granny smith3 oz crushed cashews6 oz coconut milk1/3 cup unsweetened apple juice1 tsp cinnamon1 egg

Remove core and slice apples. Beat the egg and add the milk and juice in one bowl. In another put cashews and cinnamon and mix. Dredge the apple slice in milk then dip it in cashews, coat it. The coating will be sticky. You only have to coat one side. Line a pan with aluminum foil and grease with coconut oil or use parchment paper. Place the apples on the pan and bake at 350 until golden brown.

Bars -Lee cup slivered almonds

cup pecans cup almond or sesame meal cup unsweetened shredded coconut cup almond butter cup coconut oil1 tsp vanilla tsp raw honey tsp salt cup dried cran or blueberries

On a cookie sheet toast nuts and shredded coconut until golden brown. Pour into a food processor and pulse until nuts are chopped and the mixture is coarsely ground. In a mixing bowl melt coconut oil and almond butter in microwave (about 20 secs). Add vanilla, honey and salt. Mix thoroughly. Fold in nut mixture and almond meal until mixed. Fold in cran/blueberries. Press mixture into 8x4 loaf pan. Refrigerate for 20 mins. Cut loaf length wise, should make 6 good sized bars. Keep in fridge until ready to eat.

PUMPKIN CRANBERRY MUFFINS: Amanda1 1/2 cups almond flour3/4 cup pureed pumpkin (you can used canned, but make sure to get just plain pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling) 1 tsp baking powder1 tsp baking soda3 eggs1/4-1/3 cup maple syrup or honey depending on your sweet tooth1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice1 tsp vanilla extract1/8 tsp salt1/2 cup chopped cranberries

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix together all the ingredients except for the cranberries until smooth. Fold in the cranberries. Spoon batter into 6 greased muffin cups (I use coconut oil) and bake for 20-25 minutes.

These are very soft and cakey muffins. I think that cutting them in half and toasting them is very nice since it gives it little crisp edges.

Variations: Banana nut muffins - use pureed bananas in place of the pumpkin, chopped walnuts in place of cranberries, and omit the pie spice.Flax muffins - replace up to 1/2 cup of the almond flour with ground flax seeds
