You really can make a loaf of bread without flour! This grain free bread has an amazing flavor and texture. Make a sandwich with it or have it with a bowl of soup on a cool day. Coconut Butter and pastured eggs are the main ingredients in this super easy recipe.
Ingredients
5 pastured eggs at room temperature
1/4 cup Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil melted
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp Coconut Butter (also called Coconut Mana) softened till pourable
1/2 tsp unrefined Sea Salt
3/4 tsp baking soda.
Begin by putting the jar of coconut butter into a bowl of hot water or in your double boiler to soften it until the consistency is similar to peanut butter. Stir it with a spoon to ensure there are no lumps.
Place parchment paper into a loaf pan, and grease liberally with coconut oil.
Preheat oven to 300 F.
Whisk eggs in a large bowl, then whisk in all other ingredients until well blended. You can also use a Vitamix or hand mixer. Pour into prepared loaf pan.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes and then remove from pan before cooling completely.
Once fully cooled slice and eat. Keep the loaf in the fridge and tightly wrapped to keep it from drying out. You can toast this, add butter, and put an egg on top for breakfast. It is also great as sandwich bread for lunch.

Try other variations such as wrapping the bacon around jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese & garlic…or around dates stuffed with almonds and blue cheese.
Ingredients
20 dried apricots
2 to 3 organic jalapeños sliced into 1 X 1/4 inch pieces
Partially cook bacon slices, then cut each piece in half (can be done ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use). Preheat the oven to 400ºF and adjust the rack to the middle position. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
Slice each apricot horizontally down the side so that it will open like a book. Place a jalapeño slice inside the apricot; wrap the apricot in a piece of the partially cooked bacon. Secure it with a toothpick, and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Bake for 10 minutes. Using a pair of tongs, flip the zingers and bake 5 to 10 minutes more, or until the bacon is golden brown. Serve immediately. Yummy!!

Here is our simple, quick recipe. Your kids will love to help you make these, and they will love to help you eat them!
Ingredients
1 bunch organic Kale
1/8 Cup organic extra virgin olive oil
1-2 tsp. fine ground Celtic sea salt
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash kale and dry leaves thoroughly with clean kitchen towel.
Tear the kale leaves from the thick stems into 2 inch bite-sized pieces.
Place kale leaves in a large bowl and toss by hand with olive oil; be sure to coat
each leaf on both sides with the oil.
Arrange pieces in a single layer on cookie sheet that is lined with parchment paper.
Bake in 400 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle liberally with sea salt before the chips cool. Enjoy right away, or store in covered container for later.
In a small bowl, combine wet ingredients (melt the coconut oil before mixing it into the batter)
Stir wet ingredients into dry.
Pat the dough into a 9-inch glass pie dish, and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until golden.
Remove from oven to cool.
Ingredients for the pie
1/2 cup almond milk
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
16 oz Pumpkin Puree
2/3 cup Grade B maple syrup
3 Pastured Eggs, separated
1 Tbsp Great Lakes Beef unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup organic Heavy Whipping Cream, or coconut cream (for dairy free)
Directions
Make almond flour pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan.
In a saucepan combine pumpkin puree, maple syrup, salt, Pumpkin Pie Spice,
egg yolks, and almond milk.
Whisk thoroughly to combine over medium heat.
Once the mixture begins to steam, whisk in the gelatin a little bit at a time to
prevent clumping.
Bring the mixture to a low boil while whisking, then remove from heat, and allow to cool.
Once the pan is cool enough, put the filling in the fridge to chill until it is completely cool, and slightly set.
If the filling sets too much, allow it to come up in temperature slightly which will allow the gelatin to soften enough to fold the egg whites in, and beat with a hand mixer on high for 20-30 seconds to smooth out the mixture.
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks have formed. Gently fold the egg whites into the filling mixture.
Pour filling into pie crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
Cover pie with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge until set.
An optional topping is to whip heavy cream or dairy free coconut cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.
