Marinated Murshrooms

Yum, marinated mushrooms will now be a new weekly side dish at our house. This was so yummy and I love that the mushrooms are uncooked. Recipe came from rawkinraw and we modified to our liking.

-1 lb organic mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
-organic extra virgin olive oil, to coat all
-sprinkling of dried basil (I go heavy on the basil, see pic above)
-drizzle of Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar
-juice of 1/2 lemon
-a few shakes of dried onion flakes
-1 tablespoon coconut aminos or good ingredient soy sauce like "shoyu"
-2 cloves garlic, finely minced
-1 teaspoon sea salt

Add everything in a ziplock bag and shake it up so the mushrooms get well coated with everything. Put in the fridge for at least an hour to marinate, bring to room temp. before serving!

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

This year is the first year we've ever attempted a garden. I had no idea I would end up with at least 2 zucchinis a day! I've been trying to find a good zucchini bread recipe to help use up some of our harvest, this one is our favorite so far. It's from the king aurthur flour website , and I modified it just a little. In a mixing bowl combine: -2 large organic egg -1/3 cup honey -1/2 cup grapeseed oil -1/3 cup coconut palm sugar -1 teaspoon vanilla Add and mix: -2 cups whole white wheat flour -1 teaspoon sea salt -1/2 teaspoon baking soda -1/2 teaspoon baking powder -1 teaspoon cinnamon Add and mix: -2 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini -1 cup good ingredient chocolate chips Pour batter into lightly greased bread pan, bake at 350 for 55-60 min or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on cooling rack before eating.

German Pancakes

This is a healthified version of an old family recipe. My kids LOVE these pancakes and ask for them often.You may need to double the recipe if you have a family larger than 4. -1-2 tablespoons coconut oil -1 cup rice or almond milk (unsweetened) -1 cup whole wheat flour -5 organic eggs -pinch of salt Preheat oven to 425, put the coconut oil in a 9x13 pan and place it in the oven as it's preheating. Add the remaining ingredients to your blender and blend (I used the "batters" button on my blendtec). When the oven has preheated take out the hot pan of melted coconut oil and pour the batter in. Carefully place it back into the oven for 15 min. Serve with pure maple or your favorite healthy pancake topping.
