Day 6- There's butter in my coffee!

This morning I decided to add some flavor to my espresso. I've been reading about the Bulletproof coffee so I decided to modify a bit since I didn't have any of their beans. I have a Nespresso machine so I added 2 shots of espresso, 1 cup water, 2 tbsp kerrygold, & 1 tbsp coconut butter. I added those all to the vitamix and I got a frothy delight 


I enjoyed my butter coffee w/eggs, bacon, sausage, herb biscuits and guacamole 


For lunch, I made the cracklin' chicken from nom nom paleo. It's delicious!  I served it w/a salad


For dinner, I had left over chicken, jicama and a sweet potato.

Indian spiced pork tenderloin

I cooked a variety of dishes before but I've never really tried to cook Indian. I had to buy different spices like garam masala and turmeric. I used the recipe from "Against All Grain" cookbook. This is my second time making it and is probably the best pork tenderloin recipe I've made. The cookbook called for 3 lbs but I had 4.5 lbs so I just added extra spices. 


This recipe is so simple! Rub the pork w/salt and garam masala, sear for 5 minutes and than roast in oven until internal temperature is 150 degrees F.   The 4.5 lbs ended up taking 50 minutes. 

The pork is so juicy and tender. 


I paired it w/cumin- curry asparagus (instead of carrots) and parsnip purée. 


This dish was a hit w/everyone in my household!
