Almond Flour Pancakes (Paleo)

Organic Almonds (Pre-blanched)

It is best to blanch your almonds prior to flouring them. This allows your body to fully absorb the nutrients from the almonds. Nuts contain phytic acid, a compound that can hinder mineral absorption like iron and zinc. Thus, we blanch!

How to Blanch 

Place almonds in a bowl.

Pour boiling water to barely cover almonds.

Let the almonds sit for 1 minute and no longer.

Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again.

Pat dry and slip the skins off.

It is super easy !! 

Ingredients for Pancakes: 

3 large eggs

1/4 cup almond milk 

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons raw honey 

1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

a few tablespoons of coconut oil or grass-fed cows butter (for the skillet)

How: 

Whisk together all the wet ingredients in a large bowl.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend well.

Heat a skillet on a low to medium heat with about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil 

Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter per pancake on the heated skillet.

When you can slide a spatula under the pancake easily, flip the pancake and cook on the other side.

Cook for a few more minutes and place the cooked pancakes on a warm plate and cover. 

Repeat for the remaining batter.

We leave them a little longer to crisp the edges!! Mmmmmm Whatever your preference is!

Enjoy with honey!

Use it to enhance the flavor of salads or pour it over grilled chicken.For whatever purpose you desire, go for it! I love this dressing on my salads or with cucumbers alone. The combinations of flavors is wonderful for the taste buds.

2 Organic Yellow Bell Peppers, halved, deseeded

3/4 cup Organic Red Wine Vinegar

1 Cup Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Broil until peppers are blackened and blistered, roughly 5 minutes. Remove peppers from heat and place in a bowl, cover the top to allow the steaming process to occur. Once the peppers are cool, remove the skin and discard. Place peppers in a food processor, with the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth texture.... Enjoy !!  Buen Provecho!! 

Avocado Bell Pepper Style !!

One of my favorite meals!! Avocado with sauteed Onions and Red Bell Peppers

This meal is quick and easy!!

1 Hass Avocado

1 Sweet Onion, sliced

1/2 of Red Bell Pepper, sliced

1 tbsp of Coconut oil

First heat up the cast iron and add 1 tbsp of Coconut oil to line the pan

Once cast iron is preheated, add the sliced sweet onions to cook first... 

I like my onions to brown a little before the bell peppers make their entrance. 

But your preference. Add red bell peppers to cook with the onions. 

Once the onions and peppers are to your liking, remove from heat.

Begin to slice and remove the avocado from its skin and place into a pretty plate! 

Top it off with the tastefully sauteed onions and bell peppers! 

and 

ENJOY!! Buen Provecho!!

Organic Applesauce...An all time fav!

Organic Apples peeled by my kids

If your home is like mine, your kids love applesauce. Who doesn't? I am always trying my best to  make homemade snacks and meals. Since, my family enjoys eating applesauce, I figured, why not try it?

I used my Crock-pot for this one...

Recipe:

8 cored, peeled, & sliced organic apples

2 tsp of organic lemon juice (from fresh lemons)

1 tbsp of raw organic coconut nectar

Start by turning your Crock-pot to low, then place cored, peeled, and sliced organic apples, lemon juice and coconut nectar into the Crock-pot. Leave for 6 hours on low. Set timer! then allow the magic to happen. Of course Stir it on occasion... 

After the 6 hours are up, remove from Crock-pot and mash or you can puree it in processor. I use my magic bullet for this one. Place in Frig for about an hour or less or you can enjoy it warm as well. 

I bought these silicone icy pop molds, and I use them for all kinds of healthy treats. 

I used them this time for the applesauce.... and it is easy take on the go!!! I just realized I made my own organic buddy fruits lol... The kids enjoy them and so do I!

The remaining portion I place in a glass container. I usually try not to use plastic containers for food. After time, the plastic taste will destroy the yummy taste of foods. So, I don't want plastic to ruin my gourmet applesauce. After all, I worked so hard !! (Not). It was simple just needed some planning time thats all. Make time and you will reap the health benefits of organic eating. 

Enjoy!! Buen Provecho!!
