Ingredients
2 eggs
4 Tbsp. pumpkin puree
2 Tbsp. almond butter
2 Tbsp. monk fruit sweetener
2 Tbsp. almond milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 cup super-fine almond flour
2 Tbsp. coconut flour
1 tsp. baking powder

monk fruit sweetener. Pour in the milk and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add almond
flour, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder and stir
until the batter is combined. The batter should be somewhat thick.
2. Preheat griddle or a large skillet on medium-low heat - medium heat. It’s important
to allow the pancakes to cook low and slow since they are grain free. Coat griddle or
pan with ghee.
3. Drop scant 1/4 cup rounds onto the griddle. Cook until the edges begin to turn
golden brown and bubbles form on the top, about 3-5 minutes. GENTLY flip and cook

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups fine ground almond flour
1 1/2 cups water
salt, to taste
1 1/2 cups diced sausages
8 oz. baby bella, quartered
2 bulbs scallions, diced and separate white
and green parts
1 tsp. fresh thyme, optional
olive oil
Preparation
1. Sieve through the almond flour first. This will make the grits less gritty. In a medium
sauce pot, bring water to boil and season with two pinches of salt.
2. Slowly stream in almond flour, ¼ cup at a time. Whisk constantly over medium-low
heat to prevent lumps, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat and let the grits sit on stovetop. Cover with a lid for about 15
minutes.
4. In the meantime, in a well-heated skillet, saute the sausage with white scallion
parts for about 5-6 minutes or until the sausage is perfectly charred. Scoop out the
ingredients and leave the oil in the skillet.
5. Use the fat rendered from the sausage to saute mushrooms. Season with 2
pinches of salt. Saute until the mushrooms are tender but not mushy. Scoop out the
ingredients. Set aside.
6. Layer a few tablespoons of grits in a single serving bowl. Top with mushrooms,
sausages, and green scallion parts. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve warm.

1 tsp. dried basil

Ingredients
4 lb. pork shoulder
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 Tbsp. smoked paprika
1 cup chicken broth
Preparation
1. Place all of the seasonings in a small bowl and mix well to make the spice rub.
Massage the spice rub all over the meat. You may have some left over if you have a
smaller cut of meat.
2. If you have the time, wrap and refrigerate the meat for 3 hours or as long as 24 to
let the rub set in. If you are planning ahead, I recommend letting the rub set in. If you
don’t have the time, just season the pork and start cooking.
3. Place the pork into the slow cooker and pour the chicken broth in. Cook on low for
8-10 hours.
4. Remove the pork from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board. Shred with
two forks or tongs and serve. You can spoon some of the juices from the slow cooker
on to the pork for serving.
Ingredients
4 oz. yellow onion, sliced Worcestershire Sauce:
5 oz. cremini mushrooms, sliced ½ cup beef stock
1 Tbsp. olive oil 3 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 lb. ground beef 2 Tbsp. coconut aminos
⅔ cup frozen peas and carrots ¼ tsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. ketchup ¼ tsp. onion powder
salt and pepper to taste ¼ tsp. mustard powder
⅛ tsp. sea salt
Preparation
1. In a large measuring cup, combine sauce
ingredients. Stir-well and set aside ready to use.
3. Add mushrooms and frozen vegetables with ⅔ cup of the worcestershire sauce.
You can also use 1 cup of the sauce if you prefer more saucy. Mix and stir to distribute
it evenly. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer with a lid on about 3 to 4
minutes. Remember to stir the pot and scrape the bottom periodically to ensure
nothing is stuck to the bottom of the pan.
4. Stir and mix-in ketchup. Taste test to add more salt or pepper, if desired. Aim on
the less salty side as the flavor will come through further once the sauce turns cooler.
Ingredients
2 lbs. beef neck
2 bay leaves
1 Tbsp. dried oregano
2 dried guajillo chiles
1 onion, diced
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. black pepper
Preparation
1. Rinse the beef neck under cold running water and place into a pot along with all
the ingredients for braising. Add enough water to cover all the beef neck. Bring the
water to boil, skimming off scum from the necks as necessary. Reduce the heat to a
simmer and cook for 3 hours, until the meat is falling off the bone and the liquid is
reduced by at least one-half.
2. Allow the meat to cool slightly in its cooking liquid. Remove the bones and break
up the meat slightly with a fork, mixing it with the reduced braising liquid. Remove
the bay leaves and the chilies. Use the meat as a filling for tacos with salsa, cilantro,
and cheese or crema.
Ingredients
2 thick-cut pork chops, preferable bone-in
5 cloves garlic
1 1/2 Tbsp. dried oregano
5 Tbsp. olive oil
juice of 1 orange
juice of 2 limes
1/8 tsp. cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
1. In a small food processor or blender, puree the garlic, oregano, olive oil, lime juice,
cumin, pinch of salt and pepper, and all but 1/4 cup of the orange juice. Adjust the
seasoning if necessary, and reserve a couple tablespoons of the mojo sauce (for
spreading on the chops post-cooking).
2. In a non-reactive bowl, whisk the mojo sauce with the remaining orange juice. Add
the pork chops, cover with plastic, and marinate in the liquid for as long as you can
bear, at least 20 minutes, even better, two hours. Turn occasionally.
3. Heat a cast iron skillet with a film of oil, or a grill pan, until very hot. Cook the chops
to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side for medium.
Ingredients
5 cloves garlic, minced
sea salt, to taste
One (4-pound) chicken
1/2 lemon, cut in half
3 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 Tbs. plus 1/4 cup white wine
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. paprika
1 1/2 Tbsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and adjust the rack to the middle position. Using the flat
side of a knife blade, mash the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of salt together into a paste.
2. Rinse and pat the chicken dry, inside and out, and put the chicken on a plate. Rub the
chicken all over with the lemon quarters. Slip your fingers underneath the skin to loosen it.
Slide the garlic paste between the skin and chicken, being careful not to tear the skin. Then
smooth the skin to evenly distribute the paste.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, 2 tablespoons wine, the oil, paprika, cumin,
black pepper, and oregano. Place the chicken in a baking dish and slather it with the
marinade. Turn the bird several times to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 5 to 8 hours, turning
the chicken once or twice.
4. Transfer the chicken to a small roasting pan or 12- to 14-inch cast iron skillet. Don’t toss out
the marinade. Squeeze the lemon quarters into the cavity of the hen and then toss them in. If
desired, tie the legs together with kitchen string. Season the chicken all over with 1 teaspoon
salt.
5. Roast the bird for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees. Dump the marinade over the
bird and roast, basting occasionally with the pan juices, until an instant-read thermometer
inserted in the thigh reads 165 degrees, about 75 minutes more.

sweetener and stir to thoroughly combine.

Ingredients
4 Tbsp. ground almonds
3 Tbsp. melted butter
2 Tbsp. pumpkin puree
1 ½ Tbsp erythritol
1 Tbsp. coconut flour
½ tsp. vanilla extract
¼ tsp. pumpkin spice
Preparation
1. Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl until you
get a smooth and chunk-free mass.
3. Take the bowl out of the freezer and form small balls with your hands.
Spread a bit of granulated erythritol on a plate and roll the finished balls in it.
4 .Chill the finished fat bombs in your fridge for at least 30 minutes before enjoying
them with a hot cup of tea for that cozy fall feeling!
Ingredients
2 Tbsp. finely ground coconut flour
2 Tbsp. finely ground almond flour
2 Tbsp. erythritol
1 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
1 Tbsp. almond milk
1 egg
½ tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cocoa powder
1 Tbsp. peanut butter
Preparation
1. Add all ingredients except the peanut butter into
a bowl and whisk until your dough is smooth and
without clumps.
3. Add half of your dough mixture to your mug. Then, add the peanut butter and
finish with the rest of your dough. Make sure that your mug or bowl is at least double
the volume of your ingredients because the cake will rise quite significantly.
4. Microwave for about 60 seconds. (The cooking time in your microwave may vary - I
recommend baking your mug cake for a shorter time period (50 seconds) first and
continue baking for a few more seconds if needed. You can test if your mug cake is
completely cooked by pricking the center with a toothpick - if it comes out “clean” it’s
ready!
