Seafood Lasagna Roll Ups

I made this last night, but I didn't roll them up - I made it into a lasagna and cooked it. I also did not precook the noodles. It was SO good.

Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts with bacon

So, I am a bit obsessed with this recipe. OMG! So good, and so healthy for you. I found it in Paleo Modern Day Primal Magazine. Check it out!

What you need:
1lb Brussels Sprouts - trimmed and halved
2 TBL Coconut Oil, melted
1 TBL Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 pound bacon
1 medium shallot
3 TBL pumpkin seeds, but I used sunflower seeds
1-2 Tbl maple syrup

Preheat oven to 400*. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss the halved sprouts with the coconut oil and balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Spread the sprouts on the baking sheet. Roast for about 35 minutes or until tender and brown in spots.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. To the same skillet, add the shallot and pumpkin/sunflower seeds. Cook, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes - until the shallot is soft. Turn off the heat. Add the roasted sprouts to the skillet and crumble up the bacon. Stir to combine. Drizzle with the maple syrup and serve.

• 3/4 cup dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons mustard powder
• 1/2 teaspoon finely grated garlic

Directions

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Brush 2 large baking dishes with vegetable oil. Pat the wings dry; sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread in the dishes and bake, rotating halfway through, until golden, 40 to 45 minutes.

Salted Caramel Ice Cream Cone Cake

Ingredients

• Unsalted butter, softened, for the pan
• 14 pizzelle (thin Italian waffle cookies) or thin butter cookies
• 3/4 cup chocolate fudge sauce
• 1 quart vanilla-caramel swirl ice cream, slightly softened
• 1 quart chocolate ice cream, slightly softened
• 1/2 cup dulce de leche or caramel sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
• 5 sugar cones
• 1/4 cup toffee bits

Directions

Cut a 24-by-6-inch strip of parchment paper. Butter the side of an 8-inch springform pan, then line the side with the parchment; the paper will extend above the rim of the pan so you can build a tall cake.

Cover the bottom of the pan with half of the pizzelle cookies, breaking them into smaller pieces as needed to cover the surface. Spread 1/4 cup fudge sauce over the cookies.

Pack about half of the vanilla-caramel and chocolate ice cream into the pan, alternating scoops of each flavor, until the bottom is covered. Drizzle with 1/4 cup dulce de leche and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Top with the remaining pizzelle cookies, pressing gently to pack in the ice cream and create an even surface.

Spread 1/4 cup fudge sauce over the pizzelle cookies. Top with scoops of the remaining vanilla-caramel and chocolate ice cream. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup each dulce de leche and fudge sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Arrange the ice cream cones, point-side up, on top. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.

Remove the side of the springform pan and the parchment. Press the toffee bits into the side of the cake. Serve immediately or freeze for up to 2 days.
