I'm getting right to it today. Countdown for wedding is 110 days, time to get on the train and get things done! But of course I haven't been on here forever, whats new?
I've decided to put together some random simple recipes for your arsenal of cooking & creating. People can then be impressed by your cooking, but you know you don't really try hard. So basically it's a win-win situation. Got me?! Okay...
I love salads. Like a little kale with a whole bunch of toppings because I'm a topping kind of gal. This dressing, I can NOT get enough of it. I crave it. Kinda of weird.
Lemon Basil Tahini Dressing
1 heaping Tb. of tahini
1 Tb. fresh lemon juice
1/2-1 Tb. EVOO
1 Tb. fresh basil, chopped or 1 tsp. dried basil
Dash of salt & pepper
* Optional: Dash of garlic & onion powder
*Optional: 1/2 Tb. nutritional yeast
Measure and mix together. Top your favorite salad with this and enjoy it's wonderfulness. Easy, peasy.
Burgers are my jam! I absolutely love me some red meat. I remember a time I hated the texture of steak & ground beef. I am for sure over those days...here is a delish burger recipe using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.

No-Soy Sauce Burgers
1 lb. grass-fed ground beef
2 Tb. coconut aminos
Dash of salt & pepper
1/4 c. chopped onion or 1/2 tsp. onion powder
2 chopped cloves garlic or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Combine all ingredients and evenly mix with meat. Separate and shape into 4 even patties. Grill or pan fry until slightly pink in the insides. From here you can lettuce wrap, or just eat it straight up with a fork & knife. Side of spicy mustard is a must for me! NOM!
You all know I have a sweet tooth. Pancakes may be one of my favorite things. So of course I have a go to pancake recipe that is not full of sugar & gluten. I've been staying away from nut flours also lately, so this one is coconut based.
Try it out!

1 Tb. applesauce
