Sunflower Seed Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies #sunflowerseedbutter #oatflour #coconutsugar #healhyfood #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

Recipe at The Domestic Geek  




I've been trying to find ways to incorporate sunflower seed butter into my diet. I hate nuts. And although sunflower seed butter is made from a favorite seed of mine the richness at times is still too much of a comparison to peanut butter. These cookies work and where I can plop one in my mouth in the morning helps with energy.

I used homemade chocolate. The pieces melt faster but worked with the swirl of chocolate in my mouth.

Expresso Tasting Chocolate Pudding #healthydessert #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

 I made this chocolate pudding from 'Chocolate Covered Katie' using coconut sugar. The deepness of a fine coffee came out. Delicious and no refined sugar if you're looking for that.

Banana Mugcake Bread #healthyfood #yummyfood #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

 I've been wanting to make a recipe from this site and finally found one. Where I'm not vegan I used regular milk and swapped out half organic coconut sugar for refined sugar and used half of the refined sugar. I made this for breakfast this morning and the chocolate mug cake last night - was just as good! I used my homemade chocolate as well with honey, coconut oil, cacao and vanilla.

Absolutely Delicious Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Biscuits #yummy #southerncooking #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

 I just had two of these for lunch. They are soooo good. This woman knows what she's doing.

I was surprised you didn't need any rising agents. The juices from the butter, and half coconut oil in my case, were delicious. I also made my own buttermilk (apple cider vinegar and milk) and thought it would flop - nope. I used ground turkey and seasoned it. Just ate two of these regular sized for lunch. Can't go wrong.

Spinach Chicken and Rice #oregano #thyme #lemon #spinach #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #yummy #healthyfood

I love the way I feel after I've had spinach. There's no comparison. Paired up with a powerful burst of lemon and the high effects from antioxidants in thyme and oregano no one can lose.  I only had chicken legs in the house, but I used a food thermometer for the first time and they came out perfect.

My Autoimmune Disease

 I had felt lonely and desperate to connect physical and emotional abuse to autoimmune diseases. A group I joined, with a doctor in charge, I had been sharing my personal story feeling the connection. I have seen the threads open up since then with the many beautifully shared stories from women to the same connection solidifying my thoughts bringing comfort sealing the statistics. I remember pleading for help when I could feel what the poisons had done to me with a reply 'Why do you want to do something with this' feeling devastation. #autoimmunedisease #abuse #lorijeanfinnila

Healthy Thyme, Lemon, and Garlic Roasted Chicken #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #healthyeating #medicinalbenefits

This is an easy chicken with many healthy benefits from garlic and thyme. Just squeeze half a lemon over chicken after rubbing olive oil on it. Add sea salt, ground black pepper, and thyme all over. Thinly slice 2 large garlic cloves and stick them under the chicken skin throughout including the cavity. Use a couple of slices to gently rub over chicken before spices for a robust hit. Put the leftover squeezed lemon inside chicken and a bit of filtered water on the bottom on the pan. You can add water to the lemon juices and olive oil mixed with drippings for a gravy the next day after skimming off the fat on top. Yummy!

Chicken Pasta Salad with Apple Cider Vinegar Green Herb Dressing #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #healthyfood

 





1 1/2 c. uncooked pasta

1/2 c. steamed organic sliced carrots

1/2 c. steamed organic broccoli

1 lb. chicken breast

Dressing : 1/2 tsp organic herb spices

3 tbsp organic Apple cider vinegar

1/4 c. Organic olive oil

1 clove of garlic minced

Salt and pepper to taste


Cook pasta al dente. Drain and put in the freezer for 10 minutes. Chop the chicken into cubes. (I used roasted chicken from yesterday.) Steam carrots and broccoli till tender. I would use two different pots or times for these. Chop the broccoli when done. Put both in freezer for ten minutes. Make your dressing while your ingredients chill. Then mix everything together including the dressing. I added 1 tbsp at a time for the dressing. I had some leftover. This will make 3 or 4 servings great for a light cool summer dinner or lunch.
