By

Coming from someone who doesn't even like oatmeal (or so I thought), this was DELICIOUS!! Recipe was inspired by healthy slow cooking we modified it just a tiny bit. she has over 40 different oatmeal recipes so be sure to check them out.

-1/2 cup steel-cut oats (don't use rolled oats!)
-2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
-1 pear chopped
-1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
-1 tablespoon pure maple syrup plus some extra for serving.

If you have a 1/2-2quart slow cooker, spray with some olive oil to help with clean up and add all ingredients before you go to bed and set on LOW for 7-9 hours

If you have a larger crock pot like me, take an oven safe dish (I use a pyrex casserole dish), spray with a little olive oil, add all ingredients to the dish. Take some tin foil and create a long snake shape and coil it up in a circle, like the picture shows. Place the foil in the center of your crock pot and put your dish with ingredients on top. Put some water in your crock pot, usually make the water level to the liquid in your dish. Cover your crock pot and cook on LOW overnight for 7-9 hours. Wake up to the yummiest most flavorful oatmeal you've ever had! Drizzle some more pure maple if desired, add some more coconut milk if needed, and/or add some walnuts and a dash of nutmeg. YUM!!

These taste so delicious and are so much better for you than store bought or even some of those homemade recipes that has loads of refined sugar and flour.

For the Dough: -2 cups almond milk (or other non-dairy milk) -4 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil -1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla -1/4 cup honey -1/2 cup rolled oats (I've used both old fashion and quick with good results) -4 – 4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (I use fresh ground white wheat) -1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten -1 3/4 teaspoon salt -3 3/4 teaspoon yeast Filling: -3 tablespoons coconut oil melted -3/4 cup sucanat or raw sugar -1 tablespoon cinnamon Combine ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed or according to your machines instructions.

Southwest Stuffed Bell Peppers

By
I've tried a few stuffed pepper recipes, but I hadn't found one I liked enough to post on here until now. This one was awesome! My husband has declared it his new favorite dinner. Unfortunately, he likes it really spicy and it's much too spicy for my toddlers to eat which means I have to whip up something else for them. This recipe makes enough to fill 4 peppers but since it's just my husband and I eating them I usually stuff only 3 peppers and put the remaining mixture in the casserole dish with the peppers. Recipe inspired by a spoonful of sisters and modified slightly to our liking. -4 bell peppers most prefer red, orange, or yellow but we like them all! -olive oil -1/2 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa -1 onion, diced -3 garlic cloves, minced -3oz can of green chilies -1 can organic black beans, drained and rinsed -1 cup frozen corn kernels -2 green onions, chopped -1/2-1 teaspoons chipotle chili powder depending on how much spice you like -1 teasp...
