Sweet Potato Morning

This recipe is just sweet enough and has enough fiber to keep you full all morning long. The name Sweet Potato Morning sounds very 1970ish to me. I can almost see a hippy running through a field of daisies only to plop down upon a grassy hill to eat her bowl of sweet potato morning.

Sweet Potato Morning
1 sweet potato peeled, diced, and boiled (can do night before if you want)
1 apple diced
1 banana diced
1 tbsp unsweetened coconut
1 tsp. honey
1 tsp coconut or olive oil
1 shake cinnamon

Heat up oil and add apples to pan. When semisoft, add sweet potatoes and cook till heated through. Lastly, add bananas, honey, and cinnamon. Top with coconut and shake of cinnamon and heat warm

Simple Stirfry

It doesn't get simpler and more tasty than a veggie stirfry. I wish I had more of a recipe for you. It's hard for me to put together recipes since I am such a little bit of this and a touch of that cook. Below I have listed the ingredients. You can change your amounts listed, sauces, or seasonings.

Veggie Stirfry
chopped up green beans
frozen peas
chopped onions
garlic
pineapple
diced carrots
ginger powder (a sprinkling)
ready made rice

Fry veggies in olive oil. Add rice and cook until warmed through. A few shakes of tamari sauce (GF soy sauce), a drizzle of sesame oil and you are done. Can also add chopped lettuce, cilantro, or diced peanuts atop if you prefer.

Tofu Scramble

Tofu Scramble is a great savory option for breakfast. There are so many sweet options, that it is nice to add a savory one to the mix. Full of protein, looks like scrambled eggs and could also be put in a burrito with some salsa for an on the go breakfast burrito.

Spice blend:
3/4 tsp. tumeric
1/2 tsp. onion powder

Chocolate Chip Cookies

The coconut oil in these gives them the crispy goodness and their soft middle. These are actually a really good sweet treat with many benefits. The antioxidants in dark chocolate, good fats in the hemp hearts, and the fiber in the coconut oil make this cookie a healthy snack.

1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla
5 tbsp. coconut flour
1/4 cup other gf flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (pacsha brand)
1 tbsp. hemp hearts

Mix dry ingredients together and set aside. Melt coconut oil. Add coconut oil, honey, and vanilla to dry ingredients. Lastly, mix in chocolate chips and hemp hearts. Let mixture sit 10 minutes. Scoop by the teaspoon onto parchment paper covered baking pan. Bake at 350 for 11 minutes. Let cool on cooling rack.

Ice Cream Pie

Nothing can be easier than making ice cream pie. You just have to have a little patience and time.
I am so happy that this is an adaptable recipe. I couldn't live without it. Im not saying this is an everyday food. Its full of sugar whether its gluten or not but it is a nice treat every once and a while.

1 Mi-Del Gluten free pie crust (sold at walmart as well as grocery stores)
1 container cocowhip
1 container so delicious cashew milk ice cream
Santa Cruz chocolate syrup
Nuts (any type) I use peanuts

Let ice cream sit out until mixable. Mix up and put into pie crust. Place in freezer for 1/2 hour.
Take out and add peanuts and chocolate sauce. Place in freezer for 45 minutes
Take out and add container of cocowhip. Place in freezer with cover until ready to eat.
Drizzle chocolate on top before eating. You can also put some diced maraschino cherries atop.
When layering you can also cut amounts in half for a multi layered effect.

Couldn't Be Easier Pancakes

Jackson found this pancake recipe and it has saved our weekend mornings. So easy to put together and they are very tasty. 

Jackson's Pancakes
1 banana
1 cup gf oats
1 cup coconut milk

Blend in a vitamix or good quality blender
Let sit for 5 minutes. Pour out onto hot griddle. Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or coconut shreds.
We top these with maple syrup but you don't need too much because the banana in the batter really sweetens the pancake. 
(fyi, these are not your light and fluffy variety pancake but they taste great)
