Ahh, coffee! I am not sure if I am into the actual taste of coffee or if I am just in to the ceremony of it all. The standing around waiting for it to brew. Getting my cup prepared; rationing out my sugar, getting the cream out and in the winter, so my brew doesn’t turn ice cold when it is poured, I will warm my cup up. Then, there’s that moment of the pouring from the pot to the cup. That sound, with all of its anticipation, coupled along with the steam rising and the savory aroma, mmmm. What a divine moment. It does it’s very best to beckon me to come to and join the day.
yes, folks, this is a “Whole 30” compliant recipe.
No sugar, No Dairy & Gluten free!
It’s so delicious, you won’t have to tell them it’s healthy.
This recipe really needs no spices added but sometimes I will change this up a bit using spices. Tonight I added curry but you may want to try out cinnamon, cardamom…. or just whatever you fancy. Be creative!
What You Will Need;
4 large sweet potatoes. I personally think the organic ones taste sweeter
1/4 cup of coconut milk
3 – 4 teaspoons of ghee (you can use butter if you are not doing Whole 30)
Every cook knows; every dish is only going to be as good as the ingredients that have been used! Hey, I’ve seen Chef’s Table!!! I joke but it is a rule I live by and it has proven me a winner time and time again and this BA’s Split Pea Soup recipe is no different!
“BA’s gonna be world famous BAnana breakfast bread” is finished and cooling. Chili is cooking. The house is as clean as it’s ever going to be. Fresh flowers cut (my mom taught me that). Landscaping done to the best of our ability thanks to Irma. Now …. We wait. Parental units… Any second now. I am going to take a min. to blog out about my soon to be world famous BAnana breakfast bread recipe
My BAnana Breakfast Bread Recipe…
This recipe is for a denser bread. It will not be light and fluffy. I can’t stand breads that crumble a part. I think this recipe resembles a pound cake consistency. John is diabetic and I can’t stand breakfast, so I am always looking for a way to meet the needs of these two issues. I invented this bread as a quick breakfast for me and a tasty “treat” for him. If you follow it they way I wrote it, it is pretty darn healthy. Omit any of the seeds or nuts to your liking. I use them to up the fiber, protein and nutrients.
Preheat your oven to 350 and prepare your cake/ loaf pans. I use butter and flour and 2 9 in. baking pans.
Ingredients my BAnana Breakfast Bread
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup of rolled oats
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon vanilla extract (or to preference)
1⁄2 cup butter, softened
3⁄4 cup brown sugar, packed (I use 1/4 less due to living with a diabetic”
The Jonah J. Jenkins roasted beets. I feel organic is much better for this dish.
Roasted Beet Recipe
Jonah J. Jenkins Roasted Beet Recipe to the rescue! I’ve been reading about beets lately and it seems I should table my dislike and figure out how to like them. As I suspected, garden beets taste DRASTICALLY different than you can crap you buy at the grocery store. I hit my peeps up on fb for their fave recipe. Mr. Jonah J. Jenkins for the grand slam!!! It sure is great to have friends that cook and can inspire you!!
Jonah J. Jenkins came through with the grand slam with this easy 2 step roasted beet recipe :
Do not peel them. Wash the beets and chop off the stem/greens. You can use those later for smoothies, or sautéed with olive oil and garlic!
Rub each beet with olive oil
Bake them whole in the oven (350-375) for about an hour
Using a fork, when you are able to push into the beets, with little resistance, they are done. Let the beets cool, slice them into bite sized chunks and put them into a Tupperware container, to enjoy when you are ready. You can also freeze them for a later time.
**** I did try freezing them. I thawed my Jonah beets, tossed them with walnuts, balsamic vinaigrette and added some chevre! Oh my gosh, so tasty and that led to my Beet Tower recipe! Check out my blog; BA’s BEET TOWERS
