Mason Jar Cobblers

Core and Advanced Plan

Serves 4

Cobblers are a dessert favorite but are normally made with a lot of sugar and flour.  These mini versions are fabulous and mimic the original wonderfully.

photoAbout 3 cups of fresh berries

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 cup erythritol (like Swerve)

1/4 tsp sea salt

Organic Butter

Put the berries into four half-pint canning jars. Combine the almond flour, sweetener, and salt. Whisk it together with a fork and pour it on the fruit, and then top with a generous pat of organic butter. Put the jars in a square baking dish. Bake it at 350 for one hour.

Let the jars cool completely then put the lid on and store in the fridge for up to a week.  You can also top with cocoa nibs, stevia sweetened whipped cream, or chopped nuts.

Enjoy

Boosted Broccoli

Core & Advanced Plan

Serves 4-6

This is a nutrient-dense dish that your body will thank you for.  It is also a great introduction to anchovies for people who say they hate anchovies.  When heated slightly, the anchovies melt away and disappear into a salty, smoky, deeply flavorful kick that can be used as a sauce or even a dressing.  Combined with broccoli, it becomes magical.  
 

broccoli1 bunch organic broccoli

1 clove garlic, crushed
3-4 anchovy fillets (be sure they are packed in olive oil)
pinch of crushed red pepper, optional
olive oil
1/2 lemon
sea salt to taste
 
Cut broccoli into florets and steam to desired tenderness.  Pour olive oil in a pan and turn heat to low/med (do not let the olive oil smoke!).  Add the garlic, anchovies, and red pepper flakes.  Heat gently until anchovies are melted away.  Add the steamed broccoli to the pan along with the juice of the 1/2 lemon and sea salt.

Blackened Seasoning

Core & Advanced Plan

Blackened seasoned meats and fish are popular and add a burst of spicy flavor to your meal.  Unfortunately, many popular “blackened spice” seasoning mixes contain less than desirable ingredients like monosodium glutamate and other additives, fillers, and preservatives.  This recipe is so simple, there is no need to pay the extra money for a pre-mixed version.

blackened seasoning

1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt (more to taste if desired)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Combine all ingredients in a container with a lid and store in a cool, dry place. Great for chicken, fish, beef, and even hearty vegetables like cauliflower.
