*Had an issue with my muffins sticking to the sheet so I decided to make the rest of the batch into cookies lol just put down wax paper & put about a tablespoon and 1/2. I also put extra blueberries on top :). *

Holiday Spice Nuts

Delicious!

I found this recipe on fastpaleo.com which is amazing! Tons of recipes, a community of sharing paleo & primal goodness. :) Here is the direct link http://fastpaleo.com/holday-spiced-nuts/ . Made this for my family as a treat for Chirstmas and it was a great idea since they loved it!

"Ingredients:

6 cups Nuts (Almonds, Walnuts, Pecans)
 1 Whole Egg plus 1 Egg White
 2/3 cup Honey
 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
 1 teaspoon each: Allspice, Ground Cloves, Salt
 

Cooking Steps

Beat the spices and honey into the eggs. Fold in the nuts and mix until the nuts are all well coated.

Spray a cookie sheet (with a lip) with coconut oil.

Spread the nuts evenly on the pan. Drizzle all extra spice mixture over the nuts.

Cook for 1 hour and 20 minute at 250F. Toss nuts every 20 minutes.

*I just did 1 hour because the honey started to burn on me*

Let cool completely, then break apart into small clusters."

Son of Grok Waffles

Shelley, my mother-in-law, came across this recipe and I needed to share! Tasty & takes like a regular waffle not some dry wanna be :). I got it off of the Son of Grok Website http://www.sonofgrok.com/2009/09/old-old-world-waffles/

Ingredients:
- 8oz Organic Cream Cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 half cup shredded coconut.
- 4 eggs
- 1-2 teaspoons vanilla
- dash of cinnamon

Waffle Syrup:
- Fruit! Any you like but I have found that frozen strawberries that are put in the microwave and then chopped and mashed makes a great natural syrup!

Directions:
1. Pulse half cup of shredded coconut in a food processor or blender until you have a kind of coconut flour. (some people may remember this from some of my other recipes) This makes a great coconut flour that is full fat and less dry than pre-made almond flour which is usually de-fatted.
2. In a mixer or mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well to create a batter.
3. Cook your batter on the waffle iron. If you dont have a waffle iron, you could probably make them pancake style in a pan on the stove.
4. Enjoy them how you like them! We did some organic butter and the heated frozen strawberry natural syrup.
