Carrot Lemon Apple Grape Juice

This is exactly what the title says....

6 carrots
2 gala apples
1/2 lemon with peel
1 cup grapes

Put through the juicer and drink immediately! Yum

It is revitalizing and lifts you up for the day

Cauliflower Soup and Stir-fried Veggies

Basic cauliflower soup (from memory):
(Can be made ahead and stored in freezer)

head of cauliflower broken into florets
1 medium yellow onion
homemade chicken stock
sea salt and veggie pepper
(optional garlic and butter)

Cook until really soft and blend smooth.

Slice:
johnsonville new orleans sausages
yellow onion
red banana pepper
peas
butter
sea salt and veggie pepper

Cook sausages, onion, and pepper together. In the last few minutes add peas and butter.

Dish up soup and top with heaping portion of stir-fried veggies.

Quick, simple, and delicious. Always have to remind myself to stop adding or to only use one main flavor and not add 20 possibly "complementing" flavors!

In life, less is best.

Make this for yourself and let me know if I forgot anything.

Flourless Pecan Pancakes

As you maybe can already tell, I like pancakes.

Here is the most recent version - simple, quick, and tasty.

1 cup pecan butter (I make mine by putting pecans through my champion juicer)
4 farm eggs
2 tsp honey or agave
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla
optional 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and dash of nutmeg

Whisk together.

On medium heat in ghee (or butter), cook on one side until some bubbles form and flip.

Eat immediately because they don't retain heat well.

Top with sweetened fresh raspberries and blackberries OR raspberry preserves OR ghee and cinnamon and honey.

Let me know in the comments below if you came up with any improvements!

Keep experimenting!
