Banana Spice French Toast

Ah it is the weekend, this means coffee and weekend brunch!

Here is my simple recipe this makes 3-4 French Toast:

2 eggs
1 tbps of cinnamon
1 tsp of nutmeg
2 tsp of pumpkin spice 
half a banana

Blend up and let your bread soak for 3-5 min (I used a Udi's gluten free bread which worked really well)

Other options:
If you want more protein you can include half a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.

Top with any nut butter or agave syrup or even maple syrup

Enjoy!

Stuffed Peppers

Such a good and filling meal! This recipe actually made more than 4 stuffed peppers but I ran out of peppers :)

1 cup of brown rice--> boil on the side this takes about 25 minutes

Meanwhile in another pot cook:
1 package of ground turkey
1/2 an onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic
1 cup of chopped celery
1 cup of chopped zucchini
Add a small can of tomato paste
1 package of taco seasoning, salsa and half a cup of water

Once all cooked add the rice and the mix together. Scoop the mix in the peppers and bake at 350

These are even great for lunches too!

Ginger Sesame Chicken

Super simple recipe that taste so good!
The cooking sauce:  Add 3 tbsp of sesame seeds, 2 tbsp fresh or powdered ginger, a pinch of Himalayan salt and pepper, add a few tablespoons of water mix together and allow to sit while you start cooking the chicken
Start browning the chicken in a pan, add sauce and continue cooking until finished
For your side dish parsnips and carrots worked out really well with the ginger flavour in the chicken which I steamed then added Mrs. Dash no salt vegetable seasoning!

Natural, NO Chemical, Deodorant Recipe

We all know that deodorant is loaded with chemicals which have even been linked to the causes of  certain cancers. Finally, a teacher that I work with gave me a recipe for something that works (no really her husband even uses it, plus I have sweat tested this recipe in a spin class :)  ) and can even be made in your own home with 3 simple ingredients!

Here it is:
¼ cup baking soda (aluminum free) or arrowroot powder
¼ cup cornstarch
6 teaspoons coconut oil

For scent you can even add a few drops of essential oil, but the first time I tried it I didn't add any because I like the smell of coconut anyways.

You can always adjust the consistency, this is the tricky part. If you are finding it too soft then continue to add equal amounts of baking soda and cornstarch one teaspoon at a time. The mixture also settles after you put it in a container so it is ok if it is softer at first!

I know it is easy to be skeptical, but try it out! I would never go back to regular deodorant after using this!!

Clean Pumpkin Pie

All the treat less the sweet!

This recipe proved you can make a delicious desert without all the butter, shortening and cream! It is also gluten free and dairy free! 

For the crust:

1 cup of almond flour 

3/4 cup of coconut flour 

3 tbsp of coconut oil 

Pinch if salt 

2 eggs 

2 tsp of stevia powder 

Mix all the ingredients by hand, you may add a bit of water (1tbsp at a time) if you are finding it doesn't have the dough consistency you want. 

Press evenly into a greased dish (I used a bit of coconut oil with a piece of paper towel to spread it over the dish) 

The filling:

1 can of pumpkin purée 

1/2 cup of almond milk 

1 egg

1/2 cup of maple syrup 

1 tbsp of pumpkin spice

1 tbsp of cinnamon 

1/4 of nutmeg 

*Preheat the oven at 350C

*Bake the crust alone for 10-14 min

*Add the filling and bake the rest for 50min or until the knife comes out clean! 

Serve with coconut dream ice cream for an added touch! 

Finally an easy desert recipe that I can have!! 

Enjoy!
