Grain Free Pseudo Tortillas

Hello there!
I came across a recipe for simple tortillas and decided to make adjustments to make them grain free.
I was happy with flavor but I couldn't exactly wrap it around breakfast to make a burrito. However, these worked out great to have on the side and will be awesome for some "huevos rancheros". I thoroughly enjoyed them with my eggs, chorizo, potatoes, and cheese on top. So although I can't call them true tortillas I decided to share the recipe nonetheless.
Behold:
Grain Free Pseudo-Tortillas


Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt


First whisk your dry ingredients together in a bowl. The add your dry ingredients, eggs, and water to a blender and blend until mixed well. You can pour the mix directly from the blender to a hot flat pan. It's very much like making pancakes only you aim to make these thinner. You can "swirl" the pan to help thin out the batter a bit. Let cook until you see bubbles and then flip and cook the other side.

Serve up with a meal the way you would use a flat bread or "tostada".
Enjoy the yummy goodness!!

Cream Cheese Curry Eggs

Hi there!
I have been craving curry eggs for at least a week! I don't often cook "real" food around here, but I was just so inspired to have another recipe to share here.
Ever since turning to a grain free lifestyle my meals have been high protein, low carb, and contain more healthy fats.
This is what I made for breakfast today:
Cream Cheese Curry Eggs


Ingredients for 2 servings:
5 Eggs
Approx 2 oz cream cheese
Curry powder to taste
1 avocado (on the side)


Beat the eggs and curry in a bowl.


Put you cream cheese in the pan and then add the eggs.
As the cream cheese heats up  it will melt and spread as you scramble and cook the eggs.


Serve with a side of 1/2 an avocado and you have yourself one delicious, filling breakfast.

Have a yummy day!!

Grain Free Pancakes and Honey Body Wash

Last night I was up so late making DIY bath products, so I decided to just get to bed and postpone my shower until this morning. I woke up so excited to try all my new products out... but first: breakfast. 
We all have out priorities and when my tummy beckons it trumps everything.



On the menu this morning was grain free pancakes.


Ingredients:
4 oz cream cheese
4 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1.5 teaspoon raw, unfiltered honey

Mix all ingredients together. I used my Ninja small food processor.


Let the batter rest for 2 minutes.


Pour batter on hot griddle and flip when edges are cooked.

Enjoy with some maple syrup!

Once my stomach was content I ran straight to the shower and was so delighted using my new honey body wash.


What you need:
An empty bottle
1/4 cup raw, unfiltered honey
2/3 cup Castile soap (I use Dr. Bronner's)
2 teaspoon almond oil
6 drops Young Living Grapefruit EO (get it here)
6 drops Young Living Orange EO (get it here)
6 drops Young Living Melaleuca Alternifolia EO (get it here)

Add all ingredients to your bottle and gently shake to mix the contents. I used a "tornado" motion to swirl it all around. Surprisingly, the next day the contents had not settled much. I still gave a good swirl before squirting into my body pouf. 

Initially I had assumed that it would take ALOT of homemade body wash to get through one shower. In my past experience, homemade bath products went quickly because we use more searching for that same sudsy feeling of store bought product. I squirt a small amount into my pouf expecting to only make it through 1/3 of my body... I was able to wash my whole body and still had plenty  suds to rinse off my body pouf.


This honey wash smells amazing and cleans up nicely!! 

Happy washing!!
