Pumpkin Custard

I LOVE pumpkin pie, but usually only eat it at Thanksgiving. What a shame! After making pies this year I thought, why not make a crustless custard and enjoy it any time as a side dish or dessert! Winning idea! It is a great way to get a little more squash in to your diet, with all of its healthy goodness.

A veggie side that tastes like dessert. Yes please!

Here is what I do:

1 15 oz can of pumpkin, I like Whole Foods 365 brand which is organic
8 oz of almond milk, I use Califia 3 ingredient unsweetened
3 T of arrowroot flour
1/4 cup monkfruit golden sweetener
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt

Mix all of the ingredients well.
Spray 4 ramekins* with oil spray, I use avocado.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Let cool before refrigerating.
Must chill in refrigerator after baking to allow the custard to firm up.
I eat mine cold. Delish.

* My ramekins are about 4 inches in diameter and hold a little over 8 oz. I have also used glass weck tulip jars for baking these when my ramekins were in use.

Raw Greens Flatbread

If you are on Instagram you know I have been on a greens “flatbread” kick lately. My husband would call it a jag 😉…love you honey! I first discovered raw greens “bread” from following the amazing Dr. Deanna Mutzel on instagram…check her out here. She is the Queen of this stuff and she has a wonderful ebook and online course where you can learn all there is to know about making it. I have been toying around with my own version and many of you have asked for me to share it, and since I always gladly share my recipes with you all, here goes. Continue reading

After I got my mom hooked on parchment paper, she came up with the idea for this one dish wonder.  She often makes pork for my boys when we go to her house for dinner, and pork is just not my best friend…so she started making me my own special one dish meal..which has  become a new favorite of mine.
I am having fun playing around with lots of different versions Continue reading
