Chic pea & Avocado Hummus
This turned out super yummy. Blended one drained can of chic peas with one large avocado, 1/4 cup homemade black eyed peas drained, 1/4 cup of the black eyed peas broth, 2 tbs fresh salsa, roasted garlic powder, and black pepper. I know, my pic looks like evil asparagus fingers are rising from the bowl! My version was…

Almond Flour Pumpkin Mini Muffins
These are really good. Not overly sweet. First time I've used almond flour in anything. A bit caloric for a mini muffin though. Ingredients* 2 eggs * 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (I increased this from 1/2 cup) * 1/3 cup honey * 4 Tbsp melted butter * 1 tsp vanilla * 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (I added this to thin the…

Holiday Yams
I love my sweet potatoes and yams baked or roasted plain, but I usually make this not-so-healthy version for the holidays. I've converted former yam-haters with this recipe: Ingredients* 4 to 6 medium-sized yams * ½ to 1 cup dark brown sugar * ¼ cup butter * 1 cup chopped walnuts * 1 can pineapple rings (unsweetened).…

Weekly cooking - Do you do it?
I usually spend an hour or two on the weekend cooking up some food for the upcoming work week. My weekly cooking is usually a pot of something (beans, lentils, soup, etc.), some hardboiled eggs, cashew milk (I use it as a creamer for my coffee), and maybe some snacks like banana oatmeal bars, nut bread, chocolate avocado…

Banana Oatmeal Bars
These bars are a healthy, chewy and satisfying grab and go snack. I like to wrap each bar in plastic wrap and then store them in the fridge. INGREDIENTS 3 ripe (cheetah spotted) bananas 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce 2 cups uncooked old fashioned oats 1/4 cup raisins 1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 cup of milk, whatever…

INGREDIENTS 2 cups low sodium chicken broth 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup chopped celery 1 tbs thinly sliced fresh basil 2 pounds plum…

Whole Wheat Banana Nut Muffins
These are so good. I found the recipe at http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Whole-Wheat-Banana-Nut-Bread/, but I used applesauce instead of oil, used less salt, added cinnamon, and made mini muffins instead of a loaf of bread. Ingredients 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce 1/2 cup honey (I used raw honey) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract…

Ginger Turmeric Iced Tea
They made this on the dreaded Dr. Oz Show today, but it's actually pretty good. My picky Dad didn't like it, but I found it to be zippy and refreshing. Definitely clears up the sinuses! Add 1/4 tsp ground turmeric and 1/4 tsp ground ginger to 1 cup boiled water. Mix well and let cool. Add ice and juice of half a small…
