COMBINE the dry mixture and the wet mixture in the large
bowl, whisking until smooth and well combined.
Mix all ingredients into your slow cooker. Set on low heat for 8
hours overnight. In the morning, stir and add French Butter
and your favorite condiments.
No-Nightshade Ketchup
Fill the loaf pan with the nut mixture, rap a few times on the
counter to get rid of any air bubbles and smooth the top with a
spatula. Decorate with slices of mushrooms, slices of bell
pepper, or whole walnuts if desired. Place loaf pan on a
baking tray.
Recipe Notes
Leftover Ideas:
Crumble leftover nut loaf into a pan of already sautéed
onions, carrots, parsnips and/or turnips. Turn this into a
casserole dish and dollop the top with mashed potatoes to
cover completely. Run a fork over the potatoes to create
ridges. Drizzle butter over the top and bake it in a 350° oven
until the filling is bubbly and the potatoes have started to
brown. Viola! Vegetarian Shepard's Pie.
4. Allow the loaf to stand in the tin for 10-15 minutes, then turn
out onto a chopping board. Remove the baking parchment
and serve in thick slices.
Cultured Butter
Vegan Mozzarella
Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight or boiled for 15
minutes
• 1 cup aquafaba (preferably chickpea or other light colored
bean)
• 2 tbsp tapioca starch
• 2 tsp kappa carrageenan (or 4 tsp agar agar)
(1/2 tsp konjac)
• 1 tsp lactic acid**
• 1 tsp nutritional yeast
• 3/4 tsp salt*
• 6 tbsp refined coconut oil, melted
*You may need to adjust the salt level a bit lower if using
salted aquafaba.
**You can substitute with 1 tbsp lemon juice, but the lactic
acid tastes better
Directions:
3. Add coconut oil and blend again very briefly. Mixture will be
smooth and a little thick.
5. Pour into a mold, or scoop balls into ice water for buffalo
style mozzarella. Refrigerate for a few hours to fully firm up
the cheese before slicing or grating.
This recipe works best with a mini muffin tin, check out the
one I like best in the Amazon link in this post.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Use a box grater or food
processor with a grating attachment, and grate all the
cauliflower florets. Place the grated cauliflower in a kitchen
towel and squeeze as much moisture out as possible. Flex
those biceps, the more water you squeeze out, the more
golden your tots will be. Place the cauliflower in a large bowl
and add all of the remaining ingredients(except the non-stick
spray), ½ teaspoon salt, and few cracks of pepper. Mix well
then thoroughly spray the mini muffin tin with the non-stick
spray, do this over the sink as to not make as mess
everywhere. Use a spoon to add the cauliflower mixture in the
tins and pack them so they come all the way to the top. Make
sure you pack them tight using the spoon. Bake for 20
minutes, or until nice and golden all around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes, then remove
from muffin tin and enjoy!
Tots will keep in the fridge for 3 days, or in the freezer for
2-3 months. When ready to re-heat, place in the microwave or
better yet, re-heat in a 350 F oven for 6-8 minutes.
The Best Keto Bread
1. Use a spatula and mix all dry ingredients in a bowl until well
combined.
2. Then pour in the apple cider vinegar and egg whites and
mix until well combined.
3. Pour the hot water in and mix evenly until a dough is
formed.
4. Place the dough in a small pan with parchment paper and
try to leave the top round and do not press down otherwise
the bread will be denser without holes in crumbs. (I learnt this
recently).
5. Sprinkle with some white & black sesame seeds or any of
your favorite seeds and press them down lightly to ensure
they stick to the dough.
6. Bake in oven at the lowest rack at 350F or 175C for about
50 to 60 minutes until a wooden skewer comes out clean and
the top of bread should feel hard and crusty. It is also done
when the internal temperature is about 205 to 210F or 96 to
98C.
7. Cool on rack completely then slice thinly and store properly.
It is best to wrap them in parchment paper before refrigerating
to prevent moisture.
Sweet Corncob Tamales
AIP Cheese
3. Turn off the heat, add vanilla and stir until well blended
and the liquid is smooth and glossy
Sugar Cookies
Icing:
Icing Instructions:
To make the icing, beat together the butter, cream cheese and
vanilla. Slowly add in the Monk Fruit Powdered or Swerve
confectioner's. Whip until creamy.
One cup over 80% cacao chocolate, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup French or Italian butter, softened, or coconut oil
3/4 cup monk – fruit sweetener ( use a spice grinder to
make into powder ) or 1/3 cup Swerve erythritol
1/2 teaspoon iodized sea salt
3 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 large omega-3 or pastured eggs or Vegan eggs
2/3 cup blanched almond flour
1/3 cup tapioca starch ( I left this out and it didn’t affect it )
1 cup chopped toasted walnuts or toasted slivered
almonds (optional)
Dry Ingredients:
One cup blanched almond or another nut flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup egg white powder (I left this out and they turned
out fine)
2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Blender Ingredients:
One large egg
1/3 cup applesauce, or 1/2 of a large apple (about 2
ounces)
1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt
1/2 cup water
Topping:
2 tablespoons melted French butter for brushing.
Add diced butter and cut into the flour, using a pastry cutter
or butter knife. Just keep cutting the butter into smaller pieces,
and pressing into the almond flour until all the big chunks are
gone and the dough is crumbly.
Make a space in the middle of the bowl, and crack in an
egg and add the cream. Using a fork, lightly mix the egg and
cream together, slowly moving out and incorporating the rest
of the dough. Mix until you've formed a soft dough.
Using your hands, divide dough into four pieces and roll
into a ball. Dough will be soft and a bit sticky.
I like to roll the dough into a log, and use a sharp knife to
slice off rounds. Place on cookie sheet and lightly flatten with
your palm. I like small cookies, so I made a narrow log and
sliced off 16 cookies.
Add vanilla, egg, salt and almond flour and mix together
until well incorporated.
Make a well in the flour mixture and crack in eggs. Stir eggs
with fork, and work your way out, incorporating more and
more of the flour.
Once the egg is mostly incorporated, knead with your
hands, adding in a bit more tapioca flour if the dough sticks to
your fingers. Divide dough into 3 portions.
Recipe Notes
Once cookies are done, remove from oven and let them
cool on the cookie sheet. This is important as they will still be
soft for several minutes until they've had a chance to fully cool
and firm up.
3 large eggs
1 tbsp lemon zest
pinch salt
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp gf baking powder (or sub 1/4 tsp baking soda)

1/4 cup granulated sweetener (Swerve, Xylitol, Just Like
Sugar)
1/3 cup frozen wild blueberries
Once cookies are done, remove from oven and let them
cool on the cookie sheet. This is important as they will still be
soft for several minutes until they've had a chance to fully cool

10-13 minutes at 350º. Serve with avocado salsa.
Cauliflower Crackers/Chips
Notes
Pre-heat the oven to 350°. Melt the coconut oil and combine
with remaining muffin ingredients in a food processor or bowl,
mix well. Place batter in a muffin tin lined with muffin liners.
The muffin will rise a small amount, so you can fill the muffin
liner about 3/4 full–-almost to the top. Bake for about 20-30
minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the
tops are slightly browned.
Ingredients
Cream together the coconut oil and honey. Add the eggs
one at a time.
Add coconut milk and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Add coconut flour. Mix until smooth.
Lastly add cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
Do not overmix. Overmixing will result in the baking agents
(cream of tartar & baking soda) not working.
Use a laddle and pour small amount of batter into a crepe
pan with butter on medium heat.
Flip once the bottom is light brown. The pancakes will not
bubble as much as “regular” pancakes.
Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup.
Pancake Syrup
When water is hot and on a low flame, add erythritol and stir
until dissolved. Add butter and extracts, then slowly add
konjac powder until it reaches the desired thickness.
Pancake Syrup

start with 2-3 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener .
1/4 tsp of baking soda
Smoothies
Put 1 3/4 cup besan in the mix a little at a time. It will look
crumbly. If it’s hard to roll it out, add a bit more oil. It will be
