A repeat of Moroccan Chicken. What could be a wonderful paleo dish, were it not for the can of garbanzo beans that goes in first.
Chick peas, diced tomatoes, 1.5 lbs chicken thighs, half can of tomato paste, raisins and crushed coriander seed. It calls for ground but all I have are seeds. I think I did high for 1-2 hours, added I another big spoonful of tomato paste, turned to low. Three hours later, chopped red pepper, a big spoonful of almond butter plus the rest of the paste. Gets it nice and thick.
On the side, some mashed cauliflower and a mixed green salad.

Dessert. Apparently Grandma (Gaga) has a blueberry bush in the yard. We picked some. I experimented with a crumble. Or a crisp. Whatever it was, it was an attempt at Paleo and it failed (coconut oil, coconut flour, agave syrup mixture on top. maybe a few chocolate chips). Only some blackberry ice cream could save it.

Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes it rains.
