Recipes from 6/6/17

You'll find my 'recipes' below...but before you dive in there, can I share just a few thoughts with you?

1. Thank you.  Thank you for coming to read this and to walk with me on this journey of feeling so much better and making better decisions for myself and my family. 

2. I'm sorry for the way I do recipes. If you are one that needs precise measurements and exact times to cook things - just stop now.  You'll likely never find that here. It's just not me.  I look at a recipe and change it just about every time I make it.  That's why I don't bake very often!  Anyway, I am much more of a just go with it and experiment kind of recipe girl!  Hope it inspires you to do your own thing in the kitchen too!

"Everything but the Kitchen Sink" Scramble:

Throw some coconut oil in your large cast iron skillet, and let it get good and hot. In the mean time, chop up some onion, bell pepper, sugar snap peas, sweet potato, potato, zucchini, squash...really whatever veggies you can find in your kitchen. Let the veggies get soft. 

While they cook, crack some eggs in a bowl and scramble with just a bit of water.  Add these to the pan once the veggies are soft.  Season with salt, pepper, and garlic (bonus points if you have fresh garlic already cooking with the veggies). Scramble. Serve.

Granola Crumble:

2 c. quick oats

2 c. unsweetened coconut

1 c. peanut or almond butter (no sugar added)

1 c. ground flax seed

2/3 c. honey

a giant pinch of cinammon

a big splash or two of vanilla

chocolate chips or raisins or cranberries to your liking (about 1 c.)

Mix it all together with a wooden spoon. Eat.

Burrito Bowl:

*ALL measurements are wildly estimates!

2 c. cooked rice

1 can black beans, cooked and drained

1# ground beef, cooked and drained

salsa

Tessemae's ranch

avocado

cilantro

garlic

salt

Mix up amounts that seem right to you, and eat and eat and eat.  I typically leave the beans, rice and meat in the fridge and mix the other things in right before I eat it.
