Paleo chocolate cookies again

I made these twice now because they were a big hit at my house. I've had to hide some just so I can eat one!  This was a recipe from http://howtoeatandlive.com/2012/02/paleo-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe/.

By this way, this recipe is egg-free, great for those who are avoiding eggs.  This was the best paleo chocolate chip cookies I've ever had.   I think the picture speaks for itself!

Bison meatballs, fake noodles and omelet

can't have enough!

 

 

Zucchini's in season now so I had to figure out a way to incorporate it into our diet.  My daughter is not a fan so I cut the zucchini to make them look like noodles and sauteed it in coconut oil, garlic, onion, pepper, a little bit of *peanut butter(use almond butter to make it paleo).  She's always saying how she misses noodles, well here you go then! She ate them! 

The omelet is just pastured eggs, scrambled with sweet onions, also from the farmers market.

If you haven't tried bison yet, I think you should. It's really good and it's one of my favorites.  This is just something I put together at the last minute:

Once again, I'm eyeballing:

1/2 pound ground bison
dash of pepper, sea salt, organic garlic powder, some sage
About 2 Tbsp pureed peach(no skin)
1 tsp honey

Just mix it all together and form into small balls.  Bake at 350 degrees F til it's brown. 

*I make my own peanut butter.  I soak the peanuts for 12 hours in salty water. Rinse well and roast them at 350 degrees til crispy.  I get skinless peanuts.  After roasting, I process it with a little honey and unrefined coconut oil. 

Coconut pancakes

Who doesn't love coconut?  This is easy and doesn't require a lot of prep work. 

I apologize for the picture, the pancakes were devoured.  Also I don't go for perfection, I like things to look rustic as long as the taste is great!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup coconut flour
2 organic eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
`
1/2 cup hemp milk, get unsweetened if you can.  Or use coconut milk, even better
Optional: a dash of salt

Mix everything together and make sure there are no lumps.  No one likes lumpy pancakes! LOL  Set it aside after mixing.   Heat up pan or griddle, cook on medium heat til done.  It won't bubble up like a traditional pancake recipe, please make a note of that.

Enjoy!  I actually served it with watermelon, just because today is watermelon day in the rotation diet but you can serve it with anything!

Chestnut flour muffin with chocolate!

This is the first time I baked with chestnut flour.  It came out great!  There's no dairy, grain, eggs, soy in this recipe.  I normally use honey or agave nectar but it would be too watery so I went ahead and used beet sugar.  I hope you enjoy these muffins! They were so good.  My daughter gobbled one up and wanted more!

1 cup chestnut flour *
1/2 cup beet sugar (or less, it's a little too sweet for me, next time I'll use 1/4)
Equivalent of 1 egg, egg-replacer
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup hemp milk
4 tbsp Spectrum shortening, softened for 30 seconds in the microwave.
1/2 Tbsp baking powder (make sure it's the gluten-free kind)
1/4 tsp baking soda
A dash of salt
A handful of chocolate chips *I use sugar-free and purchased them from Nutsonline.com

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix all the dry ingredients together.  Mix all the wet ingredients together til smooth/creamy.   Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients together.   Mix and then slowly fold in the chocolate chips.  Bake in a cupcake-lined tin for 20 minutes or til toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy!  They're yummy!
