Introduction
If you are on a paleo diet or are thinking of going on one then the easiest way to kick off
your new regimen is by taking the time to plan all your meals ahead. It make good sense
to stock up your freezer in advance with some home cooked meals. By doing this you
will not only save time and, energy but will also be able to follow a healthy regimen
without resorting to eating fast foods or indulging in unhealthy snacking habits. Batch
cooking or make ahead freezer food is really well worth the effort, rather than cooking
every day, because all you have to do is let your frozen meal thaw, reheat and then
consume.
Here are five reasons why you should cook and freeze your meals:
You will have the satisfaction of knowing there is a paleo dinner waiting for
you.
You will not have to plan and prepare anything in a rush and possibly cheat on
your diet.
It is a really quick meal and quite often tastes much better than when it was first
cooked.
You will save money because take-out and eating out is pricey!
Finally you will stay committed to your resolution to eat healthily

Before you get started with making the freezer there is a little bit of planning to be done
and you will need some extra stuff so that you freeze and label things properly with the
date of the cooking, because most things look the same when they are frozen.

Stock Up on Supplies
First of all buy some extra containers to store the food, a freezer marker pen, and freezer
friendly labels. Make sure that all you containers are of varying sizes. Investing in a
reliable food processor, slow cooker, ice cream and some pans. Also some freezer tape
or even masking tape to seal the containers. Buy some organic waxed paper, paper
discs, foil, greaseproof paper and freezer or zip lock bags.

Advice on Containers:
If you have some big ice-cream containers that useable then wash them and use them.
You can also buy some excellent basic clear glass containers that you can use to freeze
food in, then remove and store in some freezer zip lock bags. This will save a lot of
space in the chest freezer or the upright freezer.
Do remember that if you directly freeze anything in a glass jar or container to leave
enough space on the top because the food will expand and the jars may crack.
Hold onto any eco-friendly plastic containers, big yoghurt plastic cartons, plastic
freezer bags, and flimsy super-market plastic bags because they can come in handy for
freezing herbs and spices or any small leftovers.

Some Useful Freezing Tips:


Once you’ve making your batch of freezing keep these tips in mind so that your food
tastes good when you re-heat it and eat it!

All cooked food must be completely cooled before freezing it. Leave it overnight
if you have to this way you will be sure that it has cooled completely.
Freeze food in small eating portions because it freezes rapidly, retains excellent
texture and flavor. If possible take the trouble to freeze in eating portions
especially if you have young children or a large family.
Use good quality thick paper for storing solid food. Wherever possible use
plastic bags because they take you less room and also they are easy to label.
When using freezer bags suck out all the air with a straw or invest in a vacuum
sealer, there are many available on the market.
Never forget to label and date when something is made.
Eat your frozen food within three months of cooking.
The best place to defrost a meal is to take it out the night before and leave it in
the fridge. Re-heating it will be easier and faster.
When de-frosting soups, stews, curries and slow cooker meals, place the bag in
some hot water to soften and then leave in the fridge until required.
If you like to use glass to freeze your meals in then make sure it is suitable for the
freezer because the last thing you want is to end up with shattered glass.

All the recipes can be frozen make sure they are divided into small portions and thawed
the night before in the fridge. Heat them up to temperature of 165 degrees F before
serving up.
Chicken and Vegetable Soup
Ingredients:
One large white onion cut into two and then sliced into half again
Three cloves of peeled garlic
Two fresh red chili deseeded and finely chopped
One cm of shrimp paste
Six almonds or macadamia nuts
One cm of fresh galangal and one teaspoon of the powder
Five ml of palm sugar
Olive oil for cooking
225g of chicken fillets cut into bite size chunks
300ml of organic coconut milk
1.2 liters of chicken or vegetable stock
225g of finely chopped red bell pepper
225g of grated white cabbage
One small aubergine cubed
115g of peeled cooked shrimps
Some finely spring onions and, cilantro to garnish with.

Method:
In a good blender blend the onion, garlic, chili and shrimp paste till very fine.
In a wok heat up some oil, and, fry the paste without burning.
Throw in the slices onion, chicken pieces and sauté on high heat till opaque. Pour in the
coconut milk and simmer until chicken is tender.
Add in all the vegetables and simmer until everything is soft. Once it is this stage throw
in the raw shrimps and cook for another five minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
Divide into portions and pour into small bowls and freeze.
When ready to eat, thaw in fridge and then reheat and garnish with cilantro and
diagonally cut spring onions.
Mushrooms, Garlic and Chive Oil Soup
Ingredients

Three bunches of chives (roughly chopped up)


One and half cups of extra virgin olive oil
Four whole heads of Garlic
25 raw cloves of garlic peeled and sliced finely
16 to 18 ounces of small brown mushrooms sliced finely
Three tablespoons of grass fed butter
Two large leeks finely sliced
Four cups of homemade or good quality chicken or vegetable broth
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
First of all wash and chop up the chives roughly and throw them in the blender with the
olive oil. Puree until the mixture is very fine. It does take about 15 to 20 minutes but is
really worth the effort. Then in divide the mixture into two batches and strain through a
sieve or muslin cloth. Avoid pressing on the chives otherwise they will turn cloudy.
You can either discard the solids or keep in the fridge and use when sautéing vegetables
or meat.
Second, is preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 240 C. Take the four heads of garlic and
remove the loose layers of skin, and slice the top off to show off the tops of the cloves,
drizzle with a bit of oil and some salt and pepper. Wrap each head in some waxed
paper and tie with a string and bake in the oven for 40 minutes until the heads are
cooked through. When the pulp has cooled remove into a small bowl. At the same time
also roast the mushrooms with some salt and oil. Make sure that you do not burn them
because otherwise the soup will taste vile.

Third step is to take a large deep pan and melt some butter and cook the leeks until soft.
Throw in the roasted garlic, raw garlic slices and sauté for ten minutes.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and simmer for 30 minutes on low heat. Remove
from the heat and blend in the blender until smooth.
When freezing let the mixture cool thoroughly and, pour into portion size containers and
freeze. Take the roasted mushrooms and split them up into portions and also freeze
separately. When serving the soup thaw, reheat to 165 degrees F and warm up the
mushrooms scatter over the top. If you have some chili oil drizzle some over the hot
soup.
Easy Pressure Cooker Beef Stew
Ingredients:
Two and half pounds fresh beef stew meat
Some olive oil for cooking
One large white onion, finely sliced
Five large carrots, peeled and sliced
Six garlic cloves
Four cups beef broth
One cup of spring water
Two tablespoons tomato paste
Three to four curry leaves
Eight sprigs of thyme

Method:
First of all wash and cut the meat into bite size chunks. Then season the meat with
kosher salt and pepper. In a large pressure cooker over medium high heat pour in some
oil and brown the meat for five minutes. You can brown the meat in two batches. Once
that is done add in the onions, carrots and garlic and fresh herbs. Cook those for ten
minutes and, then add the broth, tomato paste, curry leaves and thyme. Add the water
and put the pressure cooker lid and cook on high until the pressure cooker rises to
steaming point and then set the timer for 25 minutes. Once the timer has blown it’s
whistle, cool and carefully remove the lid. Add salt and pepper to taste.
When freezing divide into portions and pour into containers and cool overnight. Seal,
label and, freeze. When you want to eat it, just take out a portion thaw overnight and re-
heat to 165 degrees F and eat.
Pressure Cooker Chicken Soup
Ingredients:
Some olive oil
Four large carrots, peeled and sliced
Three celery stalks, sliced
One large white or yellow onion, finely sliced
One whole four-pound chicken (without the skin)
Two teaspoons kosher salt
Two tablespoon black peppercorns
Two bay leaves
12-14 cups spring water
Some sliced garlic cloves and fresh herbs prior to serving

Method:
Heat some oil in a large pressure cooker over medium high heat and add in the carrots,
celery and onion and sauté for five to six minutes.
Wash and dry the chicken and with the breast side down put the chicken in the pressure
cooker. Also throw in the kosher salt, peppercorns and the bay leaves. Add enough
water to cover the top of the chicken and bring to a boil. Click on the lid and then cook
on high heat for forty minutes.
Once the whistle blows, take the cooker of the stove, cool and remove the lid.
Using some tongs remove the chicken and cool. Remove the chicken meat from the
bones and chop up into small pieces. Keep the bones separate for use later on and add
some of the chicken meat back into the liquid and cook without the lid for ten minutes.
Cool the clear soup and divide into portions and freeze. When you want to eat, remove
the night before and reheat and serve with some sliced garlic slices and also any kind of
fresh herb like cilantro, parsley, basil etc.
Beef Spare Rib and Vegetable Soup
Ingredients:
Three pounds of fresh beef short ribs
Olive oil for browning meat
Half a cup apple cider vinegar, keep some more for flavoring
One and half large white onion, finely chopped
Six garlic cloves, finely chopped
Four large beetroots peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks.
One large turnip, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes in its juice (if you can get organic it’s better)
Four stalks of celery, chopped
Four carrots, peeled and chopped
1/4 –1/2 cup chopped fresh dill finely chopped
1/2 a head of white cabbage, shredded
Half a liter of spring water
Kosher salt

Method:
Lightly sprinkle some salt on the short ribs. Heat up two tablespoon of oil in a pot on
high heat, and brown the short ribs in two batches on all sides. Try and brown the meat
without charring or burning. Remove the ribs and put to one side.
Then pour in the vinegar and stir it around the pot. With the heat on medium, add the
chopped onions and garlic. Carefully brown the onions and garlic then return the meat to
the pot and pour in ten cups of water, or just enough to cover the ribs. Partially cover
with a lid and simmer for 2.5 – 3 hours. If required, add a little extra water to the pot
while simmering to keep ribs covered in liquid.

Then remove from the pot and remove the meat off the bone – the meat should be tender
and easily pulled apart. Having done that return the meat to the pot and add the
tomatoes, turnips and beets and simmer on low with the lid for 30 minutes. Just before
the time is up, add the celery, dill, cabbage, carrots and simmer for ten more minutes.
You can even chop up the beetroots greens up finely and add it to the soup at this stage.
Remove and add the apple cider vinegar, a little more kosher salt.
If you can manage eat the soup the following day, as it will impart a richer flavor. If you
are freezing the soup and I would recommend that you do then cool and split it up into
smaller portions making sure that ribs and the meat are evenly spread and then seal
tightly and freeze.
Serve with some finely chopped cilantro or parsley.

Chelo Kebabs
Ingredients:
One large white onion, skinned and finely chopped up
Two lb. (500g) fatty ground beef or lamb (blend of 75% beef, 25% lamb)
Half tsp ground turmeric
Half a teaspoon of coriander powder, cumin powder, garlic and ginger powder
One whole egg whisked
The juice of one whole lemon or lime
Kosher salt and black pepper
Two tablespoons of freshly chopped mint
Two ground jalapeno chilies
Half a tablespoon of dried chili powder
A set of wet wooden skewers (because you don’t want them to catch fire)
Soak them in some water for 20 minutes and then use.
To serve: Two to three tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro, cauliflower rice some
lemon wedges and tomato and bell pepper salsa.

Method:
Add the meat, salt, spices, herbs and, and process for about one seconds minute. You
want the meat to be smooth. Then add in the chopped onion. Form the meat into
kebabs. The meat mixture will be sticky so dip your hands in some running water and
form the meat into kebab shapes and put them on metal or wooden skewers. Heat up
your oven to 200 degrees F and take a baking sheet with rims and spray with some
cooking oil and line up the kebabs. Yes with the wooden or metal skewers sticking
through them because they will allow the mince to cook right through.
This recipe is ideal for batch cooking and don’t overfill the baking tray. If you have to
cook the chelos in two batches.
Remove and cool them and them, either wrap them individually in waxed paper and, put
them in some zip lock bags or plastic boxes. This way they will be easy to remove and
thaw out before eating. The texture and the flavor of this recipe will improve after
freezing. When serving serve with all the garnishes.

Disclaimer
Dr. Loren Cordain, the founder of the Paleo diet says that by eating more similarly to
our Paleolithic ancestors we would be healthier and slimmer. The Paleo diet is possible
in this modern age, but it needs to be well thought out and planned because you have to
unlearn many things. This actually means making choices of whether to eat certain foods
or not. On the Paleo diet we would consume more meats and much fewer grains, beans
and legumes. Some nutritional experts feel this isn't a nutritionally wise eating pattern,
because you could end up missing some vital vitamins that keep our bodies in working
order and promote intestinal flora. So first of all consult your doctor before beginning
the Paleo diet that requires you to eliminate whole food groups. All diets have good and
bad points and sometimes depending on your body type it takes some elimination and
addition of foods to know what suits you best. If your stomach hurts from eating
something then don’t eat it.
If it’s a choice of selecting something that is gluten free like rice then the choice would
be, would you rather eat some rice every so often or would you rather take supplements
to compensate for vitamin B loss that you would get from eating rice? The odd bowl of
rice is far better than taking artificial supplements.

If you decide to go Paleo you have to avoid eating any cereal grains, including brown
rice, wheat, oats and barley, or any products prepared from them, like breads, cakes or
noodles. You also must avoid all dairy products, beans, salt and legumes, refined
vegetable oils like canola oil, processed foods and, products containing refined sugar.
Cordain says that eating these foods makes your blood acidic and increases your risk of
high blood pressure, kidney stones, osteoporosis and asthma.
Some dietitians argue that Paleo diets over the long term can help people control their
consumption of sugar, salt and harmful additives because you will learn about all the
harmful ingredients and remove them from your diet.
However, restricting healthy food like brown rice, rice noodles can deprive your body
from an adequate intake of the B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin D and
calcium because that is what we need in order to function properly. You also will not
get the benefits of the antioxidants contained in whole grains, until you find some
suitable replacement. Without these nutrients, you could be more likely to develop
coronary diseases, cancer or diabetes.

So now you are in a quandary and wondering what to do. Don’t fall apart, Cordian does
say that you can have up to three open meal days in a week when you can eat anything
you want. He claims that as long as 85% of your overall diet sticks to the Paleo
guidelines, the remainder 15% of your diet or the odd lapse won't prevent you from
losing weight, in fact it might do you some good.
