Strawberry Chia Jam on Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream #loriinthekitchen #healthydesserts

The strawberry jam I made is good for sauce on ice cream too. Win, win! For on my homemade breakfast bagels and ice cream. The chia seeds give me energy in the morning. 

Recipes

This is so yummy and easy. I used my homemade graham crackers that I used coconut sugar and some coconut oil in place of some of the butter where I wanted it lighter for my stomach. and this dish called for more butter in the crust. I also didn't add any extra cinnamon on top when I made the graham crackers (recipe below).  I usually will put at least a third of coconut oil instead of butter when I'm baking. I think it's lighter on my stomach and ads taste. I used my homemade yogurt made with Wolfgang Puck's bread machine and strained some for about 30 minutes to get a greek yogurt consistency. Hershey's sugar free chocolate chips that gave a bang is what I used. I just used unsweetened cocoa powder that was $1.99 from Walmart. This is so DELICIOUS!

Recipe

New Homemade Banana Ice Cream #loriinthekitchen #bananaicecream #alternativeingredients

 2-3 fresh slice bananas (about 1/2 -3/4” slices)

2 tablespoons honey

1/8-1/4 c. almond milk

2 tablespoons honey

New bananas ice cream: 2-3 sliced fresh bananas, 2 tablespoons of honey 1/8th-1/4 c. almond milk. Push sliced bananas down firmly to pack them in a container but not so much that you can’t stir the honey and almond milk into them. Add the other ingredients in stirring them. The honey will settle but don’t worry about it. Freeze container for 24 hours. Blend or churn in your favorite ice cream maker. I use the smoothie bowl setting on my Ninja Creami.

Spicy White Bean Chili

 Found Cooking Classy with this spicy, earthly cumin, paprika, oregano, coriander, and cayenne pepper that connect to your senses, along with the Serrano chili peppers I used. I added extra beans and chicken. Don’t worry about the extra liquid. It’s so good you can drink it. Cooking Classy #womenstationchannel #healingfood

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies with Homemade Sugar Free Chocolate Baking Chips and Homemade Hot Chocolate #lorijeanfinnila #cooking #healthyfood

 I've been looking forward to using coconut flour and almond flour together. Most recipes call for a very small amount of coconut flour and a lot of eggs. Not this one. I also made homemade chocolate chips by melting a store bought bar (Eco dark 2.65) and adding a tsp of coconut oil and 1 a tablespoon of honey. It was sweetened perfectly and the best chocolate chunks I feel. I used half unsalted dairy butter and 1/2 coconut oil for the coconut oil. I also used parchment paper which I love. So much easier.

Recipe for the Cookies

Homemade Sugar Free Chocolate Chips to Bake with (No more melty, soggy baking goods with the ones I've been making from cocoa powder and coconut oil.) ( I may leave the oil out next time so they're not as melty - still really tasty.)

Hot Chocolate Recipe (Really yummy sugar free hot chocolate. I used 1% dairy milk.)

Homemade Granola and Homemade Yogurt #ohyum #lorijeanfinnila

I just topped fresh fruit, pure vanilla and honey to this mixture. Oh Yum!

I used Martha Stewart's slow cooker granola recipe and swapped out coconut sugar for brown sugar and papitas (pumpkin seeds) for almonds. I added extra raisins too.

All I did for the yogurt was put 4 cups of 1% dairy milk into my instant pot and pressed yogurt a few times until it reached 'boil.' I left it on venting. Once it beeped I took out the pot and let it sit at room temperature for 25 min. Then I added 3 tablespoons of yogurt from the last batch or I use some from Chobani plain Greek yogurt (the small one) and after skinning of the thin layer that forms with a fork gently mixed it in stirritwith a spoon. 

(I always freeze the starter from the batches I make right after the yogurt has chilled overnight, and the leftover Chobani in 3 Tbsp increments of the leftover of that. The starter from the batches can get old. I've done it for 6 months once. The yogurt is not as good without Chobani I think and swapping out batch starter for a fresh Chobani starter I'd say monthly, or close enough thereto.)

Then I close the instant, not putting the vent into pressure cooker mode, and hit yogurt again this time until a time shows up. Then I set it to 12:00 hours. It will start counting up the minutes from there. Once finished take the pan out and cover with Saran wrap and put in fridge for at least 8 hours. Walla! Fresh yogurt. You can try to drain some of the whey of the top by gently spooning some out. It will keep the yogurt thicker. I have a yogurt strainer that will drain most of the liquid out if I need some Greek yogurt for a recipe. Best granola I've had so far. I eat it with yogurt before the gym!!!! Gives me strength in the pool. Vanilla and honey makes the yogurt sweet.
