November 23, 2015

I’m not one of those people that die for pumpkin… I don’t order pumpkin spice lattes, and stay away from pumpkin scented candles… but our local Thai restaurant has this pumpkin curry that is AMAZING, so I’ve been trying to track down a copycat recipe.  This one is pretty close (and delicious nonetheless) and perfect to whip up in lieu of takeout on those lazy winter nights.

Ingredients
For the Curry
Servings:
Instructions
  1. To make the tofu: Preheat broiler and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Combine olive oil, maple syrup and spices in a large bowl, then toss tofu until fully coated. Arrange tofu in a single layer and broil for 10 minutes or until browned/crispy. Toss and broil for 10 more minutes until crisped.
  2. To make curry: Add all curry spices (cumin through cinnamon) to a large, dry skillet and toast until fragrant.
  3. Add toasted spices, pumpkin, coconut milk, garlic, apple cider, maple syrup and salt and blend until smooth.
  4. In the same skillet you used to toast the spices, add cooking oil and heat over med-high flame. Add veggies (except peas) and stir-fry until crisp-tender - about 3-5 mins. Add blended curry mixture and peas & cook until heated through.
  5. Serve curried veggies over rice/quinoa with tofu, peanuts and basil.

GF Peanut Butter Balls

September 30, 2015

Somehow between trying to clean out my old pantry before the move and being out of my day to day routine once we got in our new place, I completely spiraled out of control from my eating habits.  Chia seeds and kale were taking a back burner to pizza and Starbursts, and my body was not digging it.  A juice cleanse and one stern talk to myself later and I got back on the healthy food bandwagon. But as we know I can never completely say goodbye to sweets… so here was a little treat I whipped up to keep me away from the Reeses.

Ingredients
Servings:
Instructions
  1. Stir peanut butter well. Transfer to a large mixing bowl (I recommend using a KitchenAid) and mix in maple syrup for 30-60 seconds until batter becomes thicker.
  2. Stir in coconut flour (adjusting for how runny the batter still is) and let sit for a moment to allow for flour to absorb extra moisture (add either maple syrup or flour depending on if it is too dry/wet).
  3. Add salt to taste.
  4. Mix in cereal.
  5. Roll mixture into teaspoon sized balls. Layout on a parchment lined dish.
  6. Transfer to the freezer for 20 minutes until chocolate has set.
