Fear of the unknown has always been part of our story as human beings. One reason that we are so scared of COVID-19 is there is a lot that we don’t know, which is something that can lead to stress and anxiety.

Keto Coconut Pancakes

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Course Breakfast, Main Dish

Cuisine Breads, Breakfast, Dairy Free, Gluten free, Keto, Paleo, Summer, Vegetarian

Ingredients

4 medium eggs whisked
1/2 cup coconut flour 56 g
1 cup coconut milk 240 ml
2 teaspoons vanilla extract 10 ml
1 teaspoon baking soda 4 g
stevia or monk fruit sweetener to taste
4 tablespoons coconut oil to cook with, 60 ml
1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Instructions

Mix the eggs, coconut flour, coconut milk, vanilla, baking soda, and monk fruit sweetener. Mix well.
To cook these pancakes, you can use a griddle or a frying pan. Put the coconut oil into the pan to grease it and put the pan on low heat.
Ladle some of the batter into the pan (to form a 3-inch diameter circle). The pancake should be thick so don’t try to make the batter spread out. If you’re using a large enough frying pan, you can cook 3 or 4 pancakes at the same time.
Cook for 2 minutes and then flip. Continue cooking and flipping until both sides are brown.
Microwave the berries for 1 minute. The juices will release and you will have a Keto berry syrup. Pour over pancakes and enjoy!

Butter up your whole body with this decadent, creamy body treatment. Enjoy the smell of cocoa butter, vanilla and mint, while Shea Butter and Coconut Oil hydrate and leave you feeling deliciously soft and moisturized.

Chocolate Mint Body Butter

Servings ounces

Ingredients

Instructions

In a double boiler (I use a small saucepan within a larger saucepan), on medium heat, melt the shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil.
Wait until they become into a liquid form. About 5 minutes.
Pour the contents into your mixer bowl, set aside, and let it partially solidify. This takes about thirty minutes. If you are impatient like me, stick the bowl in the fridge for five to ten minutes and you will be good to go!
If your whole mixture accidentally ends up being hard, just reheat the contents and repeat the steps above.
Add the and vanilla and peppermint oils.
Now it’s time to whip. Whip on high for five to seven minutes. This may seem long, but this is what makes the whipped body butter get a light and fluffy texture.
Fill into your jars or containers and whaalaaa!
Lather this Chocolate Mint Whipped Body Butter into your skin, remember a little goes a long way. This recipe fills about one 8-ounce jar.

Intentions for the New Year and New Decade

I adore the beginning of a new year. It is full of so much excitement and potential. It is a great time to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the coming one.

When setting our goals and intentions, we can rattle off a list of some things in our head, usually about our weight or being less stressed. This is one way to start the year off, or we can be deliberate about setting our intentions. Putting a little time and thought into the process yields far better results. Here is what I am doing. Take some time to get the benefit from these or your version of these steps.

These Sweet Potato Pie Bites are a family favorite. I made them for Thanksgiving one year, and my husband and son couldn’t get enough of them. My son eats them all year round. We use goat cheese but you can play around with the combinations. I like blue cheese crumbles with chopped walnuts, as well as this version. These are seriously yummy!

Pumpkin Spice Whipped Coffee

This Pumpkin Spice Whipped Coffee evokes memories of Autumn gone by. With the recent restrictions of the COVID 19 pandemic, I thought I would try making this at home. I love the flavors and scents so much. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Pumpkin Spice Whipped Coffee

Servings cup

Instructions

Add 2 Tbsp. instant coffee, 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar, ¼ tsp. pumpkin pie spice, and 2 Tbsp. hot water to a bowl.
Whip the mixture 3 to 6 minutes with a mixer until it's pale and fluffy, similar to the stiff peak stage of whipping eggs. Or it is possible to do this by hand with a whisk, it will just take a while longer.
After you've whipped your coffee, you can add 1 Tbsp. of canned pumpkin here (optional) for a more distinct pumpkin flavor and color. Blend in the puree just until combined so you don't lose the fluffiness.
Fill a glass with your milk of choice. I use lactose free half & half. Gently spoon the whipped mixture on top. Admire your beautiful creation then give it a stir. Enjoy!
