So we settled on a couch. It’s not the exact look we wanted in a couch, but when we sat on it, we pretty much drowned in it. In a good way. Did you ever see that show on PBS, The Big Comfy Couch? I only had 4 channels growing up, so I watched A LOT of that show. Probably until I was 17. Ok, 18. Along with Arthur. That show was the best. You know what I’m talking about. Anyways, the couch on that show is what it reminded me of when I sat down. Kind of. Minus the weird clown girl. I wonder what she’s doing with her life nowadays.
So I took some of your advice and I started watching House of Cards. And as soon as I started watching it, I noticed that a ton of the bloggers I follow on instagram are obsessed with it. So it got me excited. I’ve watched probably 7-8 episodes by now, fallen asleep in a couple, but I’m still not quite sure if I’m into it. I think it’s because politics confuse me. Mostly because I don’t give an eff about politics. But I’m trying to keep up and stick with it. I’m hoping it gets more suspenseful. I like suspense.
Anyone watch the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon? Wonderful. Love it.
Anywho. I’ve started to settle in pretty well to this new apartment. It’s slowly but surely getting decorated and feeling more like a home. I just love it. But it’s just missing one thing: a French bulldog. I’ve wanted one for a while now, but had to wait for the right time. And I think you should sit on big decisions for a while. Like one of my tattoos. Should have sat on that thought for longer. Back to the point, we are looking for a little frenchie in Colorado to welcome into our home. Problem is, people tend to charge over $3,000 for French bulldogs here. And well, that’s ridiculous. I’m totally down to spend some money, but I’m not looking for a $6,000 show dog. Nope. Just a frenchie I can love, hang out at home with, talk to while I’m cooking, walk in my new neighborhood with, and make paleo dog treats for. I will love him, and kiss him, and hold him. But I first need to find a breeder in Colorado who charges less than $3,000. Oh the frustration.
Beef and Broccoli Cashew Stir Fry
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut aminos (do not use liquid aminos, it will make it incredibly salty)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 3 crowns of broccoli, cut into florets
- salt and pepper, to taste
- couple tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1/2 cup toasted cashews
Instructions
- Whisk together coconut amines, orange juice, honey, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, arrowroot powder, and a bit of salt and pepper.
- Place sliced flank steak in a shallow bowl and pour whisked mixture on top of the meat to cover. Place in fridge and let refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- After meat has refrigerated, place a large pan or dutch oven over medium heat. Add about a tablespoon of coconut oil to the pan when hot, then add broccoli florets. Sprinkle with a little salt and mix around in the pan to help crisp up. To make sure my broccoli gets soft, I use a teaspoon of water, add it to the pan and then cover to help steam the broccoli for just 1 minute.
- Once broccoli is cooked through to preference, remove from pan and set aside.
- Place pan back over high heat, add a little more coconut oil then add the meat and sauce directly to the hot pan, trying not to overcrowd the bottom of the pan. Cook meat until barely any pink remains, then add broccoli back to the pan, along with toasted cashews.
- Mix together and cook for 1 more minute. Serve!

You should post some of your dog treat recipes! I would love to make some for my dog too. 🙂
I want to try this recipe but the amount of soy sauce (1 CUP??) seems a little overwhelming. I don’t have Coconut Aminos and would be using soy sauce. Do you really need a whole cup???
Thanks!

Yes, that’s why I wrote 1 cup
OK then. I’m making this tonight! Can’t wait..
This is no joke a simple and flavor packed meal! Made this for dinner last night, had leftovers for lunch, HOLY CRAP – it’s good!
I love beef and broccoli, but I have yet to find a good paleo friendly recipe… Until now! This was delicious!! Thanks for the great recipes and the always hilarious stories.
Good luck with the puppy search and don’t let the haters get you down!
Making this for dinner! Thanks for the delicious looking recipe!
Good luck finding a pup 🙂 We have 2 Frenchies (a little girl who is red with a black mask and a boy who is a tiger brindle). We tried to adopt through the French bulldog rescue network & were turned away. We are even a foster family for a local rescue, but, whatever. We ended up buying ours and adore them (we also have a rescue English/American bully mix). The health issues are real with frenchies- our girl has severe allergies, luxating patella, boy has had eye problems but they are the best dogs. I die a little inside when I think about how much we spent on them- but they were worth every penny. It’s the only breed of dog my husband ever wants to own again. They’re like big dogs in little bodies!
Made this for lunch – loved it. It’s a keeper.
Good luck with your search for a Frenchie. They are terrific dogs. And don’t let anyone make you feel bad if you decide to find yourself a reputable breeder. Adoption is admirable, I’ve done it myself. But I’ve also gone the breeder route after finding someone who truly has the best interests of the breed at heart. With me it was a Beagle. One comment I have is this, if you find a good breeder who is willing to work with you, you can end up with a terrific dog for not so much money. Just please stay away from pet stores. Many of the breed’s health problems have come about via puppy mills and inexperienced backyard breeders who don’t do health checks. A reputable breeder will health check all their dogs.
Absolutely loved this. I would pull back on the ginger just a little, but I am not a huge fan of ginger to begin with. I try to eat it for health benefit, so consider that too if you don’t like ginger. But this was great, the flank steak was around $18 at Whole Foods Market, but absolutely worth it.
I made this tonight- soooo good, thanks! It was a tad on the salty side and I think it’s because I used soy sauce instead of the aminos. Is that right?
Thank you for such a quick and easy recipe that is also delicious!
Juli! I came across this hilarious video today of this frenchie pup trying to play with a cat and figured I must share with you!! enjoy! 🙂
