Tempering Chocolate

Tempering Chocolate

Let’s talk about tempering chocolate!  Tempered chocolate is shiny and crisp and when you snap it it makes a cracking sound.  If you have blooms (white on the surface of the chocolate) it has begun to lose its temper but it is not all lost.  

Paleo Cassava Tortillas

Paleo Cassava Tortillas

Cassava tortillas are a family favorite.  In trying to wean my family off of (soooo much) corn, I was experimenting with these using different flours and methods… and finally settled on this.  As a bonus I can eat them thanks to a long but worthwhile 

Paleo Bulletproof Chai Latte

Paleo Bulletproof Chai Latte

This is a gorgeous, fat-bomb-bulletproof-style chai with all the foam and joy of a real live latte.  I use a stainless steel milk frother, but if you have a ball jar and a leak proof lid, that can work in a pinch. Electric frothers are also great. I love a good Nootropic Chai, and all the fats make it a great sub for your bulletproof coffee.  My go to creamers are a scoop each of MCT Oil Powder or Bulletproof and Collagen to keep my ketones up.  Myers Way and Ancient Nutrition are good brands for collagen.  You can do this in a blender to get the froth, but I don’t because mine is a Vitamix and it’s huge. Next time I need one I will opt for the full unit with the personal cup attachments.  Hitch up your horses; this little cup of joy is a real fueler.  You can access good collagen and chai in my Fullscript Dispensary here.

Einkorn Kefir Biscuits

Einkorn Kefir Biscuits

These biscuits are great with Einkorn or white spelt and you can make up the dry ingredients as a meal prep on the weekend and add the kefir and honey the day of.  We often store a jar of pre-made in the pantry for easy 

Dark Chocolate Espresso Mint Cookies (Keto, Paleo)

Dark Chocolate Espresso Mint Cookies (Keto, Paleo)

I have to say… when I was a kid I really liked my mom’s cookies.  They were blue ribbon award winning oatmeal cookies and they were gorgeous.  But my favorite cookies were Double Chocolate Mint Chip ones she make on a whim once and then 

Nootroopic Keto Hot Cocoa (Brain Mushrooms!)

Nootroopic Keto Hot Cocoa (Brain Mushrooms!)

People keep asking me for my keto hot cocoa “go to”… so here it is.  I probably make this several times per week because it is nutritious, has the ability to zap brain fog or the afternoon lull and it is super tasty!  I love the addition of doTERRA peppermint essential oil drops, which are safe for internal use, as it gives a minty kick and can settle indigestion as well. The Orgain Keto Collagen + MCT is super tasty, satisfying and the MCT goes to supporting your liver! Who doesn’t love that!  The addition of YourSuper Magic Mushroom brings brain healing mushrooms to the table and also gives your cocoa a slightly cinnamon spiced kick… like you would expect from Mexican Hot Chocolate. All in all it is delicious.  How do you like your cocoa?
