Morning Mocha Protein - looks like a lot of stuff, and I guess it is, but it still only takes a couple of minutes to make.

I get asked a lot about the things my family eats. Here’s the breakfast Greg usually has. Lucky for me, he’s happy to have the same thing day in and day out. On occasion, I rotate other things into his breakfast options, but I’d say the one he gets most often is his Coffee Shake, and he LOOOOOVES it. I love it because (it’s easy and) I can make this hours before he wakes up and it’s sitting in the refrigerator for him.

Cashew Butter Chocolate Drop Cookies (Paleo. Gluten Free.)
Cashew Butter Chocolate Drop Cookies (Paleo. Gluten Free.)

Here’s a delightful recipe. Cashew Butter Chocolate Drop Cookies are simple to make, rich in texture, and delicious. Oh, and they’re paleo and gluten free. I Love Love Love these cookies!

Cashew Butter Chocolate Drop Cookies (Paleo Gluten Free)

Yield 10 cookies

  • 1 pasture-raised organic egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup cashew butter (I make my own)
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons xylitol (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder (I use this one)
  • 2 pinches sea salt
  • 1 dark chocolate bar, cut into squares (this bar has the perfect size squares, only 10 squares are needed for the 10 cookies so the whole bar is not used)
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (I use a Breville Smart Oven and heat it to about 325 because it’s convection.)
  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Beat the egg, cashew butter, xylitol, vanilla, and sea salt together. Use a tablespoon sized ice cream scoop to scoop cookie dough onto the cookie sheet.
  4. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Let the cookies cool a bit, and then push a square of dark chocolate onto the top of each one.

I like to store these in the refrigerator to harden the chocolate square on top, making for a nice crunch-like texture from the chocolate while keeping the cookie base soft.

Easy Acorn Squash in the Slow Cooker

Dear beloved slow cooker, I hope every home has at least one of you.

It doesn’t get any easier than this, except for maybe slow cooking sweet potatoes or yams taught here.

Easy Acorn Squash in the Slow Cooker

Yield 3 to 4

  1. Trim off the ends of the acorn squash.
  2. Split your acorn squash in half. You need a sharp knife for this.
  3. Scoop out the seeds.
  4. Put your acorn squash inside the slow cooker with the skin side down. They can be stacked if needed.
  5. Add 1/2 cup filtered water to the bottom of your slow cooker, but don’t get it in the squash.
  6. Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
  7. Scoop out the cooked flesh and transfer to a bowl where you can smash it up with grass fed butter, organic coconut oil, sea salt, and any other seasoning you want. It’s especially yummy with a little homemade broth mashed in. Or, make a soup out of it by adding coconut milk (or broth) and seasonings.

Recipe Basil Tomatoes Provencal (Vegan Gluten Free Paleo)

I’ve always had a thing for cooked tomatoes. Raw tomatoes? Not so much… but cooked tomatoes I enjoy. The thing is that I usually serve them (cooked) in some sort of sauce where they share center stage with a protein and / or other vegetables.

Recipe Nourishing Chocolate Pudding (Gluten Free)

Nourishing Chocolate Pudding
Nourishing Chocolate Pudding

I’m fond of chocolate, and I’m sure my long time readers know that. It’s not often that a day goes by where I don’t have some rich, super dark, organic (and fair trade, of course) chocolate. My chocolate-loving sista, Lauren, is my kindred spirit in all things chocolate.

I’ve made a number of raw vegan chocolate recipes in the past, but it was time to change it. Nowadays, I find myself looking for ways to get pastured organic eggs in my diet as well as grass fed butter (I’ve come a long way). I figured chocolate pudding would be the ideal way to add them.

Carrot Nested Poached Eggs

It’s no surprise that I love pastured eggs, in all ways. To keep them as healthy as possible though, we usually prepare them in the sous vide under low temperature (by far the easiest), poached on the stove, or maybe gently scrambled using the double boiler method. My preferred experience is to have more yolks than whites and I want my yolks runny.
