Clean eating blueberry granola

This has become a favorite of mine and If Im not careful I could literally eat all of it in one day. I truly have to put it away as soon as it cools.  I kind of go between this recipe and the pumpkin granola

Ok so the one thing you need to know is that I have jars of organic apples that I have slightly cooked to soften. These apples are frozen in canning jars and used for smoothies, juicers, breads and even my daughters lunch. Its like apple pie filling without all the sugar and stuff.. Anyhow,  its the applesauce I used in this recipe, but any applesauce will do. For this recipe, I just blended the soft apples and made the applesauce.

CLEAN EATING BLUEBERRY GRANOLA

2 cups of rolled oats
1 cup of dried blueberrys or cranberries
1/4 cup of ground flax seed
1/4 cup of grated coconut
3 tblsp coconut oil (optional)
1/4 cup of brown rice syrup (can use honey, agave etc)
1/2 applesauce (I use cinnamon)
2 tbsp Organic Blueberry agave nector

Preheat oven to 275. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.  Spread on parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake until crispy - about 45 mins.

Almost clean eating - lasagna

This was a fabulous recipe I just threw together. I got the idea from somewhere, butI  just made it my own. Because well....thats what I do.  I am proud to say my husband and my 6 year old were fighting over the last 4. Yeah...they were that good!

ALMOST CLEAN LASAGNA

Whole wheat wonton wrappers
Organic ground beef
Onion
Tomato
Mushroom
Spinach
Garlic
Italian seasoning
Motzorella cheese

Preheat over to 350

Cut up Onion, tomato, mushroom, spinach and garlic.  Put in a large fry pan with the ground beef. Add seasoning. Cook until...cooked!
Line a mini muffin pan with wonton wrappers. Fill each wrapper with ground beef mixture and top with a bit of shredded motzorella.
Bake until cheese is melted and edged of wonton wrappers and browned.

If you like a crispier wonton, bake the wonton before filling. Pin It

Paleo pumpkin granola - clean eatin'

I have been wanting to make a pumpkin granola forever but just never got around to it. Well today I decided to also make something I havent gotten around to which is Coconut Milk yogurt (still setting, Ill let you know in the morning how that turned out.) But you cant have yogurt without granola right? I decided to go ahead and try my hand at it.  This recipe is again a recipe I threw together without measuring. I will give you the basics, and you can add ingrediants to your liking. Its a really simple recipe and easy to make your own. 

Thats one thing you will either love or hate about my recipes (the ones that are truly mine) they are all easy enough to make and so easy that I let you decide how much of whatever to put into them. I am that type of person who, if Im looking for a recipe, its gotta be short and sweet and have most basic ingrediants.  While I realize mine have ingrediants the common household doesnt have lying around, if your into clean eating or Paleo you most likely have the ingrediant already, know where to get it or have something healthy to substitute it with.

With that said, here we go

PALEO PUMPKIN GRANOLA

1 cup coconut flakes
1 cup oats
1/2 cup raisins or cranberry (optional)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup of coconut oil
vanilla
Pumpkin spice seasoning
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
1/4 cup of brown rice syrup (you can use agave nectar, honey, maple syrup, molassas)

Preheat oven to 275. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix all ingrediants together and spread evenly on baking sheet.  Bake for 45 min to 1 hr. Depending upon how crispy you like it.

I dont know that I truly used those measurements but it was somewhere around there. You can add nuts too. But since I use my granola to top my greek yogurt I opted not to have nuts. And really you can add anything you want, flax, chia seed, any other seed, almonds etc. Pin It
